The Missing Treasure Chest - Can YOU Find It in Time?

Rose Bush, the green-fingered head gardener at the Botanic Gardens, has a passion for growing rare plants. Recently, she acquired some seeds from a rare flower species found only on the highest peak of the highest mountain range in Northern China. The gardens would surely become Belfast's top attraction if they made their way into the flowerbeds! To keep the seeds safe, Rose stored them in an ornamental chest displayed in the Palm House. Imagine her horror when Rose found the treasure chest had disappeared! Could the owners of a rival attraction have pinched them to thwart the Botanic Garden's success? All seemed lost until Rose discovered a map and some curious clues floating on a giant lily pad in the Tropical Ravine. The Exploration Society has been called in to help - we need TOP Explorers (YOU!) to follow the clues and track down the treasure trove.

Scavenger Hunt through Belfast's Botanic Gardens

Are you looking for something to do with family and friends or seeking a fun day out with the kids in Belfast? Then why not join Green-fingered Rose Bush on a self-guided scavenger hunt through the beautiful Botanic Gardens? As you follow the trail, keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden among the gardens' existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. Along the way, you'll get to explore the Botanic Palm House, the Ulster Museum, and the charming Belfast University area.

The adventure begins at the Belfast City Hall and ends at the Crescent Arts Theatre, making it the perfect family-friendly activity for a day out in Belfast.

Join the hunt and see if YOU can find the missing treasure chest before it's too late!

What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

Please be aware that during the Christmas period, Christmas markets may obstruct some of the clues.

Also, during Summer months, Film Festival events are held at Belfast City Hall, the start point of the Trail, which could potentially disrupt access to the clues here. Please click here to check their website for details and to make sure they don't clash with when you intend to complete the Trail.
