There is something about mythical and mystical dragons and their eggs that excites the imagination in people of all ages and the idea of hunting for and finding one of these precious treasures has become a reality at Crystal Castle.
As part of Crystal Castle and Shambhala Garden’s Awaken Autumn celebrations, families are invited to embark on an extraordinary hinterland adventure with the new Dragon Egg Treasure Hunt.
The hunt is on until Saturday, May 31, with an enchanting experience inviting children of all ages on a magical journey through Crystal Castle’s botanic gardens, where towering crystals and natural beauty create an unforgettable adventure.
An engaging quest
Questers will set off on an engaging challenge, uncovering 11 hidden clues scattered across key locations in the gardens. With an illustrated treasure map in hand, young adventurers will solve riddles, explore giant crystals, and discover sacred statues, ancient fossils, and other mystical wonders.
This interactive adventure also pays homage to one of Crystal Castle’s most legendary attractions – the awe-inspiring Dragon Egg, an enormous amethyst geode from Uruguay weighing an astonishing 10 tonnes, where visitors can sit inside and experience its energy firsthand.
A magical and interactive experience
General Manager, Toby King says the goal is to create a magical and interactive experience that fosters curiosity, wonder and appreciation for the beauty of nature. ‘Awaken Autumn is a special time at Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens and we’re thrilled to invite families to explore and embark on a journey filled with discovery and adventure.’
The Dragon Egg Treasure Hunt is free for visitors attending Crystal Castle with day pass admission available for two adults and two children, which also includes access to all guided experiences.
For those eager to explore the history of Crystal Castle and uncover the deeper meaning behind its ancient crystal formations, the Guided Tour at 11am offers an enriching journey through the world’s largest crystals and sacred statues, revealing the stories and wisdom they embody.
