Scavenger Hunts

Below is a list of printable scavenger hunts and answer keys that you can use in our galleries. These scavenger hunts are designed to supplement a scheduled tour program or can be used to enhance a self-guided group visit to the Exhibit Museum.

Our scavenger hunts change routinely along with changes in the exhibits.
Please make sure you are using the most current version of our scavenger hunts.

Tips for Groups

Before Your Visit:

  • Make enough copies of the hunt(s) for students and chaperones.
  • Divide students into groups of about 5 to 10 students.
  • Provide the chaperones with a copy of the answer key(s).
  • Bring pencils and clip boards or notebooks to write upon.

 

At the Museum:
