<36hd>Snowflake Trail Scavenger Hunt Now Open
The Snowflake Trail is now open in the forest behind the Cub Run Rec Center, 4630 Stonecroft Blvd. in Chantilly. And it’s ready for visitors to come have some outdoor fun, while searching for hidden treasures in nature. By participating in this creative, winter-themed, video scavenger hunt, children will be able to help Snowflake the elf find her lost gifts for the woodland animals.
Snowflake markers have been set up along the trail with QR codes that may be scanned with a phone. Scan the code to see a video clue of what’s been lost nearby and then begin searching. Some items may be off the trail, behind trees or on fallen logs. The hunt for Snowflake’s lost gifts begins at the kiosk just across from the main entrance to the rec center.
The Cub Run Rec Center trail is a less than one-mile-long loop and includes both mulched and paved surfaces. The Snowflake Trail will be open through Jan. 31, 2023. No fee is required, just walk up, scan the first clue, and start the hunt.
Then when the hike is over, come inside and enjoy a winter splashdown at the leisure pool and water slides. Pool hours and admission fees are available at https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/reccenter/cub-run. There are expanded holiday hours during winter break. For more information, call 703-817-9407.
