Kid’s Scavenger Hunt

Kid’s Scavenger Hunt
Everyday from September 27 to October 31 celebrate the magic of autumn with Merridale’s Kids Harvest Scavenger Hunt! This free family-friendly activity invites young explorers to discover the orchard, solve harvest-themed clues, and learn about the apples that become our award-winning cider.

Whether you’re visiting for lunch, Thanksgiving weekend, or simply enjoying a fall day in the Cowichan Valley, the scavenger hunt is a fun way to experience Harvest Season together.

Grab Your Map & Start Exploring
Your adventure begins at the Farmhouse, where you’ll pick up your Kids Harvest Scavenger Hunt Map before heading into the orchard.

As you explore, you’ll:

For the grown-ups, make it even cozier by adding a splash of our handcrafted Spiced Rhumb for the ultimate harvest treat while the kids explore.
