Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration

Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration is a scavenger hunt that you can participate in throughout the park! You can pick up your scavenger hunt for $9.99 at select EPCOT merchandise locations, then come back to redeem your completed hunt for a special prize.

There are 12 places throughout the park where you can search for Spike the Bee. He’s hiding though, so you might have to look hard! But here’s a hint: he’s usually hiding amongst some plants and flowers. Spike is a bee, after all!

Garden Graze

If you’re looking to earn a prize just for eating some food, then you gotta check out the Garden Graze! The Garden Graze is a returning activity that can be found in your Festival Passport. To participate, you’ll need to buy five of the qualifying food items from festival booths around EPCOT. When you get one of the items, make sure to get your Passport stamped. Although you only need to eat five of those items, this year’s list includes eleven options, so you’ll be able to pick those things that sound best to you.

Once you have all 5 stamps, you can go grab your prize over at Pineapple Promenade!
