Take a stroll through the Highlands-Shelby Park Secret Garden and spot some friendly bugs hiding among the flora in a scavenger hunt.

Highlands-Shelby Park is one of 18 locations you can visit to earn a stamp on your passport! And, of course, every book read gets your child or teen closer to a prize through Summer Reading.
