Healthy Escape: Fruit, Vegetables and Mysteries
An activity reserved for children aged 5 and over, offered during the visiting hours of the Fruit and Vegetables in Schools event. The activity includes skill games to test ingenuity and precision in an interactive 4-stage course. The course allows children to discover how many portions of fruit and vegetables we should eat every day and reveal the secrets hidden in the healthiest foods. To complete the mission, children must pass scientific tests and riddles, using special tools such as microscopes to explore the wonders of nature up close, small robotic bees to solve clever challenges, and litmus paper to discover the acidity of certain foods.
Age: 5-11 years
How to participate: free access activity offered during all visiting hours.
Treasure Hunt
A treasure hunt with 10 stations will also be set up in the green area, enriched with quizzes that deepen knowledge of fruit and vegetables. Participants will learn how to recognise a vegetable garden and discover how to achieve the recommended daily intake of fruit and vegetables, reflecting on the importance of eating natural products.
How to participate: open to all, free admission to the green area.
