It's Quest season
Treasure hunts set in nature
Quests are like treasure or scavenger hunts set in nature and they are a great way to get kids outdoors. Each quest takes from 30 minutes to one hour, including a handicap-accessible quest available (in Weymouth).
In all, there are 19 South Shore quest trails for your kids to try, including a faery themed adventure at Holly Hill Farm. A complete guide is available for purchase at the HHF farm stand or at the link below.
