Tabor. Families drop in any time during the two-hour window, collect a scavenger-hunt stamp card at the check-in table and set off to find the signed stops around the park, stamping each one; staff are on hand to help younger children. Activity tables near the start have hands-on nature materials and 'creature features', and warm cider and cocoa help on a chilly morning. Children who show staff a finished card get a sticker. It runs rain or shine, and suits toddlers on shoulders as well as school-age kids who like to race between clues. ## Similar picks in Portland - [Explore Your Park at Cathedral Park Nature Patch](https://grassyknees.com/portland/activities/explore-your-park-at-cathedral-park-nature-patch--listing-e901e36e66db0939cb489bf0) — Fri, Oct 30 · 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM · Cathedral Park Nature Patch (along N Edison under the St. Johns Bridge) · All ages · Free · checked Oct 24.
