A Watson Adventures Scavenger Hunt

A Watson Adventures Scavenger Hunt

Watson Adventures, which offers museum and neighborhood scavenger hunts in major cities around the US, offers a selection of family-themed hunts right here in NYC. Choose from options like “Wax Attacks” at Madame Tussaud’s or a “Daffy Dash” through the Meatpacking District. We personally love the “Whodunit” case you’ll solve while exploring the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Discover a new neighborhood or museum in a creative and fun way on a Watson Adventures hunt (no “this museum’s boring” comments from the kids on this one!)

Please note: While the length of time varies, hunts typically last around 2 hours. Comfortable shoes, weather appropriate clothing, water and snacks are suggested (for outdoor hunts).

Tickets:
