Put on your boots, bundle up and bring a fully charged cell phone, for a Penguin Spy Adventure
like no other.
This will be an all new Christmas experience for your family.

Join the Peguin Agents on a secret mission taking part in a fun, interactive, augmented reality search around Canby Grove property. Choose from an all ages easier version or a 10+ more difficult version.

Each family will be given a Special Agent Handbook with instructions and hints to get them started. The clues will take you around the property with a choice to follow a simpler path with little ones or split off into a special agent mystery. (In December the paths can be
wet or muddy so be sure to where appropriate shoes.
We suggest rubber boots.)

Where to Start: You will begin your adventure from the Snack Shack at Canby Grove. Follow the signs for the cookie bake as you pull into Canby Grove. Next to the Cookie Bake you will find Penquin Agent Headquaters and will check-in for your handbook.

When you are finished with your special agent adventure your family will have earned a hot chocolate and toppings as you warm up by the fire.
A hot dog, chips and drink, bratwurst, ceasar salad and more for lunch or dinner will also be available for purchase. (Purchase ahead from this site to ensure food availability.)

The hunt will take place rain or shine. In the event of rain you can dry-off and enjoy a fire and hot chocolate in our fireside room.*

Please sign-up to ensure supplies for your family.
Walk-ins are welcome but not assured to be able to take part if supplies are gone.
