Follow Your Nose: Aromatic Adventure

  • Family and kids
  • Activity

Step into a world of scents with Follow Your Nose: Aromatic Adventure!

This fun, hands-on holiday activity takes kids on a journey through the gardens. After collecting an activity booklet, kids follow a map to discover the wonders of spices, the power of plants, and the secrets of the sea trade. Packed with curiosity, learning, and sensory fun, it’s the perfect adventure for budding explorers.

Once completed, return to the visitor centre to collect a prize.

This activity is suitable for primary school-aged children, but adult assistance is necessary.

Price includes admission to Cooks' Cottage, accompanying adults receive a reduced admission price.
