This fun fall activity is a great way to meet new people or hang out with familiar friends in NYC’s urban oasis! If you don’t have a team we will set you up on one as you set out on this famous scavenger hunt designed to help you explore and learn. Along the way, you will also be looking for hidden mini pumpkins! Following the hunt, you can join members of the hunt for a bite to eat at a local pub or restaurant.

ADULTS ONLY EVENT

How the Central Park Great Pumpkin Scavenger & History Hunt works:

-Come alone or with friends and meet at Tavern on the Green at 11:00 am.  We will set up the teams (teams of 5 only). If you have a team let us know.

-Each team will have 2 hours to find as many clues as they can inside the park. Clues will be in historical markers, wildlife, street performers, tourists, fountains, statues, bridges, and hidden secrets.

-There will also be over 100 mini pumpkins hidden along the way in bushes, behind benches, under statues, and in the Ramble.  Each pumpkin will be worth extra points for the teams that find them.

-At the end of the 2 hours, the group will meet near the endpoint (85th Street/Central Park West) to see which group has uncovered the most clues to win prizes!

Cost: $25 ($15 for NYSN VIP Members)

Dress code: Dress for the weather (rain or shine).

Is this going to be hard or do I need experience?  No, this is a fun hunt & fall activity designed to make the clues easy to find.

What if it rains? We will send updates before the event but be prepared for rain.

Can I come alone? Yes, most guests do! It’s a great way to meet new people.
