About
An egg-cellent family adventure awaits visitors to RHS Garden Hyde Hall as dozens of larger-than-life eggs will pop up as part of the eagerly-awaited Easter ‘Egg-nigma’ Hunt.
The popular annual scavenger hunt at RHS Gardens has an egg-citing new twist this year: young visitors can become detectives with the help of a special code cracker pack. Armed with this, they can hunt down the giant eggs hidden in the garden and crack the secret code. All cunning code crackers will be rewarded with a chocolate treat!
Visitors can purchase the special code-breaker packs online in advance or grab them on arrival, so their young sleuths have everything they need to solve the mystery. The £2.50 pack contains the top-secret information needed to crack the ‘egg-nigma’ code.
Other seasonal activities taking place throughout the Easter holidays include storytelling sessions, and the ever-popular bubble show.
In addition, the RHS is helping to get more children outside and learning about plants having recently reduced ticket prices for all visitors aged five to 16 years to £5, no matter when they visit. Under-fives continue to be free-of-charge. Adults can now save up to 25% when booking online ahead of their visit.
