The Boston Science Museum
Scavenger Hunt for Kids

Discover science’s silly side…

…on this whirlwind tour of the Museum of Science, Boston, designed for kids and adults to work together. On teams, you’ll search for answers to fun, funny questions about a life-size T. rex, a sneaky snake, hidden messages, an electrified jumping disk, optical illusions, sunken treasure, a musical zebra, a book by a cat, live animals, and much more.

This is a great game for kids and adults to enjoy together, whether a school field trip, as a family outing, a birthday celebration—you name it. It’s suitable for ages 7 and up, and at least one adult must accompany each team. You’ll all be equally engaged as you pull together as a team and make memories you’ll never forget.
