Are you excited to attend the Treasure Hunt and Tea Party this Thursday May 28th in Elmwood park? We are! The forecast calls for scattered storms but we will continue with the event regardless. Park in the lot just south east of the pavilion. We will be ending our adventure at the pavilion. Unless the weather is too soggy. Then we will start in the pavilion. If weather permits, the start of our story will be in front of the walking trail bridge. The bridge is located at the south east corner of the parking area.
You will meet the Amethyst Princess on the bridge. We will follow a wooded path to a stair where Cinderella will be waiting with the next clue. Continuing down the path we will enter the grotto where the Lilly Pad princess will be waiting with another clue. After recovering the treasure in the grotto, the princesses will lead us to the pavilion where Ariel will be waiting with a tea party, cupcakes, and a sing along to celebrate our success!
It is a little tricky for GPS because Elmwood Park doesn't have a street address as some parks do. If you are coming from the west then you may want to take Dodge street and you will take the first turn south (right) after UNO campus onto University of Nebraska at Omaha Rd E. Take that south. Turn east (left) onto University Drive Rd. S. and follow that. You will see a swimming pool on your left and the Pavilion on your right. Park in the lot just south east of the Elmwood park Pavilion.
If you are coming from the East you will not be able to turn left on Dodge St so you will need to take Pacific. (you can take Pacific either way if you like, I just like to use UNO as a landmark). Turn north (right) onto Elmwood Park Rd. It's about three blocks East of 72nd Street. then follow that winding road through the park until you get to University Drive Rd. S and take a right turn to go East. Look for the pool and across the street will be the Pavilion and parking lot. At the South East corner of the parking lot will be our start point for the event.
