Treasure Hunt in Gelsenkirchen: Nature Fun for Little Explorers

Puzzle fun and nature adventure in the Gelsenkirchen City Garden

During the family experience Treasure Hunt on October 17, 2026, children aged 4 to 7 years discover nature in the Gelsenkirchen City Garden together with their parents. A varied rally combines movement, curious exploration, and collective puzzling into a child-friendly learning experience.

Let’s go on an exciting treasure hunt

With open eyes, the journey goes through the City Garden: The children solve tricky questions, test their knowledge, and overcome athletic challenges. A lively mix of children's laughter, movement, and focused discovery is created.

Understanding nature and learning playfully

Why are plants green? And how can you determine the age of a tree? These questions make the rally an age-appropriate nature adventure. Children experience how exciting their environment is and, in the process, expand their knowledge about trees, plants, and natural relationships.

Quality time for parents and children

The treasure hunt strengthens the parent-child relationship through joint puzzling, trying out, and movement. The tasks promote curiosity, perception, motor skills, and independent thinking. Parents actively accompany their children and experience their joy of discovery up close.

Family-friendly and free of charge

The parent-child offering is aimed at families with children aged 4 to 7 years and takes place outdoors in the City Garden. Participation is free. For a relaxed family experience, weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear are recommended.

Look forward to an active journey of discovery filled with exciting questions, athletic challenges, and many little aha moments. Those who want to explore the City Garden through the eyes of a curious child will enjoy shared time with learning fun and nature joy.
