As you walk around the grounds you see the gardens, the view, the peace, but don't miss all the other treats hidden around you. The entire grounds, host a geeky scavenger hunt, see how many things you can find!
The idea of an easter egg hunt for Hobbiton Stay's grounds is the doing of my 13 year old son. When I told him about Tibbleburrow for the first time, I didn't get 5 min in before he stopped me cold, to tell me the idea that just came to him. Hide little things around the property and see how many the guests can find them.
Big things, like a certain sentient plant with a limited vocabulary hiding in the flowers, a ragged old owl holding a remebral, a firefly that should be way out in the verse somewhere.
He rattled off just a ton of possibilities without even blinking. It is a great thing! As you relax, the kids can go hunting, and they are going to have to look far and wide, big and small. If you have trained them right, they might even be able to tell you where they are all from. You know, all good geek parents educate their kids in the geek universe.

Your excitement will be the key to this becoming real!
This will be a family-friendly destination, safe from the crowded floors of hotels, and much more affordable than taking a trip to the movie set tour.
Our goal is to make it more real than the movie set because, well, it will be!
Real time to spend in the gardens,
Real memories you give and receive,
Real homes to spend the precious night's sleep in.
If every Tolkien Fan Gave $10 towards this project,
we could fund, build, and staff it in record time.
What will you do to bring it to life?
