It doesn’t feel like a trip home without a stop at the Morton Arboretum, a 1,700-acre wonderland just minutes from my mom’s house in Lisle, Illinois. (If you take I-88 into Chicago you’ve probably driven right past.)
I was excited to see the opening week of Troll Hunt, on exhibit through summer 2019.
Journey through [the Arboretum’s] far-reaching forest to hunt for six colossal trolls crafted from reclaimed wood by Danish artist Thomas Dambo. Marvel at these 15- to 20-foot-tall (and one 50-foot long) sculptures that have been created to serve as protectors of our environment.
The trolls are designed to be interactive, and it’s such fun to come upon each one and the little scenario it inhabits. Emmett went three times this weekend with my mom, who volunteered 300 hours at the Arb last year!
Emmett gave each of them names “Trapper,” “Sleeper,” “Crusher,” etc. and drew a really fun portrait of his favorite guy.
If you’re in the area, check it out! Troll hunt is included in general admission.
