What to expect

During this family-friendly scavenger hunt, you and your kids will explore South Street Seaport through a series of fun, clever clues. Using your phones, you’ll follow a trail of riddles that lead you from one hidden gem to the next - spotting quirky details, learning surprising facts (for both kids and adults!), and seeing the city in a whole new way.

At each stop, your child will solve a puzzle to unlock the next location. If they get stuck, hints are built in, so the experience stays stress-free and enjoyable for grown-ups too. The route is stroller-friendly, under a mile long, and designed to keep kids curious and engaged from start to finish.

You’ll begin at a local coffee shop and finish at a neighborhood playground - perfect for a little celebration (or a much-needed break for parents). Throughout the hunt, kids collect clues, discover stories, and feel like real-life explorers while getting to know the neighborhood around them.

By the end, you’ll have explored together, learned together, and made a happy little NYC memory together.
