Tips & tricks for today

Best time to go

Arrive right at opening, the first hour is the quietest, and kids finish objectives faster without crowds slowing them down.

Let them lead

Hand the guide to your kid and let them navigate to each objective. It's their mission, you're just backup.

Build in a break

Plan a snack stop halfway through the objectives list. A tired explorer rushes through clues instead of enjoying them.

Nearby backup plan

If a stop is closed or too crowded, the city-overview guide has 2 to 3 alternate objectives nearby.

Before you head out

What to bring

Printed guide pages (one per kid, per stop)
Pencils or crayons for cipher & discovery pages
Refillable water bottles
Sunblock SPF 50
Comfortable walking shoes
Light jacket, evenings cool off fast
