Leprechaun Trek

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a bit of mischief at the Schiele Museum of Natural History during the Leprechaun Trek! Drop in for a playful scavenger hunt designed by Lucky, the museum’s very own leprechaun, and follow his clever clues through each gallery as you uncover hidden surprises and complete fun challenges along the way. It’s a festive way for families to explore the museum together—wandering through fascinating exhibits on North Carolina wildlife, natural history, space, and science while enjoying a little holiday magic. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime fan, the Leprechaun Trek is the perfect excuse to experience hands-on learning, spark curiosity, and make new memories in the heart of Gastonia.
