With the start of Taste of Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival comes a new scavenger hunt!  Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration has returned for another year of family fun. Let’s follow our busy little bee as he sets off around the world collecting nectar and spreading pollen. 

Pick Up a Map!

You can purchase a map anywhere you see this sign.

You can purchase your map at almost any retail location throughout Epcot. You can look for Spike without the map, but there is a special surprise at the end with the map. And while I usually like the options, this is my favorite surprise yet!

Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration

Unlike the other festival scavenger hunts, spike travels around all of Epcot. That means Future World gets in on the game as well as the World Showcase.

Spike's Pollen-nation Exploration

Spike isn’t hiding, he’s hanging out in the special gardens for the Flower and Garden Festival.

Near Spike, you will find a flower card that matches the stickers to put on the map.

Can you find Spike in the daisies?

Spike has his work cut out for him pollinating the World Showcase gardens.  Spike should be easy to find once you spot the right garden.

Sometimes Spike is a little more hidden and not as easily found.
