How about combining sightseeing with fun?
Field games are a great idea for both adults and children to explore the Arboretum.
Three types of games are available: “Quest Arboretum in Kórnik”, ‘Great Adventure in Wielkopolska Gardens’, and ‘Explorer Conqueror’.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN POLISH
„Quest Arboretum in Kórniku” is a field game from the Wielkopolska Quests series. It is excellent fun for the whole family, suitable for both adults and children. The route of the game leads through the most interesting corners of the Arboretum, requires the visitor to read the boards and look for clues in the field, but most importantly - it occupies and entertains. It is ideal for those who prefer active sightseeing.
To play, simply print out the flyer from: https://regionwielkopolska.pl/artykuly-turystyka/wielkopolskie-questyarboretum-w-korniku/ or download it at the Arboretum's box office and you can begin your dendrological adventure. During the game, participants wander through the garden solving riddles from a rhyming story, prompting the next steps and indicating the paths to follow. After solving the riddles, they find a secret treasure at the end of the tour and join the group of conquerors, while absorbing a lot of information about the plants and history of the park. The game usually takes participants about 45 minutes. You can go through it individually (each with their own leaflet) or in groups (for example, during a school trip you can divide the group into smaller teams of 3-5 people). An unquestionable advantage of this form of active sightseeing is the fact that the game does not require an instructor or reservation and can be used at any time (during the Arboretum's opening hours). However, it requires concentration and careful reading of the text, so children who still find it difficult to read should be helped
„Great Adventure in Wielkopolska Gardens” is a game for seasoned travelers. The game is a joint venture of seven botanical gardens from the Wielkopolska region. Its purpose is to encourage the participant to visit all the gardens of Wielkopolska and to look in them for the answers to the riddles on the game card. Answers written in the boxes on the game card will reveal the password. In addition, each garden has a hidden stamp, which can be affixed as a souvenir in the space provided on the game card. The game cards can be downloaded on site at the respective garden or printed from the website: Game WOB leaflet project without prizes.cdr (up.poznan.pl)
The game is aimed primarily at families, is an excellent form of spending time together and motivates active recreation. The participant decides himself when and in what order to visit each garden.
