St. Patrick's Day Scavenger Hunt
Looking for more of an adventure? The St. Patrick's Day Scavenger Hunt is a great way to go hunting for gold. Last year, Liam’s legendary gold treasure was stolen by some naughty leprechauns. Thankfully, many helpful treasure hunters banded together to find and recover it. To get back at Liam, the leprechauns we arrested last year teamed up with a twisted Irish banshee who cast a spell on Liam, causing him to forget the location of his enchanted Golden Pickaxe! Purchase event tickets here.
