The Willows Wetland Preserve Scavenger Hunt offers a fun and interactive way for families to spend the morning outdoors in Gardena. Set at the Willows Wetland Preserve, this community event encourages kids to explore nature while taking part in hands-on activities and scavenger hunt challenges.

From 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, children ages 12 and under can enjoy a variety of activities, including scavenger hunts, nature-themed crafts, prizes, and light refreshments. The event is designed to keep kids engaged while encouraging curiosity and exploration in an outdoor setting.

The preserve itself creates a peaceful backdrop for the morning, giving families an opportunity to slow down, spend time outside, and experience one of Gardena’s local nature spaces. It is the kind of event where kids can move around, discover new things, and enjoy being active outdoors.

As part of the City of Gardena’s community programming, the scavenger hunt also highlights the importance of parks and natural spaces within the area. Events like this create simple opportunities for families to connect with nature in an approachable and enjoyable way.

Because the event is free and family-focused, it makes for an easy weekend activity whether you stay for the full morning or stop by for part of the event. The relaxed setting keeps things flexible and welcoming for all ages.
