About Our Washington, D.C. Scavenger Hunt

What started as a few species of animals living on the National Mall has grown enormously over the past 100+ years, into the treasured National Zoo delighting visitors today. Smithsonian employee William Hornaday was inspired to start an effort to save American Bison when he visited the western U.S. and saw how depleted their numbers were. Thanks to his efforts, the National Zoological Park officially opened in 1891, and its employees have been working to save more species ever since.

This Let's Roam Scavenger Safari Hunt will help you experience the zoo in a new way to get the most out of your visit, and make sure you have the most fun! You'll see the giant pandas, and learn about the efforts being made to protect this vulnerable species. You'll stomp around with the elephants, get silly with the giant apes, and maybe even make a splash in the Tide Pool. Admission to the zoo is always free, so what are you waiting for? Buy your tickets today and get ready for an adventure!

What You'll See: Giant Pandas, Great Ape House, Speedwell Carousel

Are Your Outdoor Scavenger Hunts Covid Safe?

Yes, our scavenger hunts are socially distant and outdoors. Questions are hidden on plaques, statues, and more outside. You won’t enter buildings and will only interact with your family/friend bubble. These wacky walking adventures are the perfect way to explore in a safe manner. Your group can pause at any time and take a break. Challenges are often off the beaten path and away from heavily trafficked tourist attractions.

How Do In-Home Scavenger Hunts Work?

Our one-of-a-kind in-home scavenger hunts help you, your friends, family or date explore, discover, and connect. All you’ll need is your phone, your team, and your home. The interactive Let’s Roam app will present you with a series of challenges and questions ranging in difficulty and point value.

Our scavenger hunts take about 2 hours. You can pause your scavenger hunt if you'd like to explore a stop on the hunt or get drinks/food along the way.

When Can I Do The Hunt?

Whenever you're ready to explore! If you're doing an outdoor hunt, daylight may help you find some clues, you can go any day, any time (even holidays). You will never be asked to go inside buildings on your hunt, so you don't have to worry about business hours. No reservation is required for groups of less than 20.

Does everyone need an interactive role?
