With stunning views of New York City, Governor’s Island is at the heart of New York Harbor nestled between Lower Manhattan and the Brooklyn waterfront.

Explore the island with a Scavenger Hunt Twist! It is a fun way to explore the island and meet new people. You will take a journey through the dozens of unique historic buildings, environmental/outdoor educational areas, discover the rich arts and culture of the island, embrace the outdoors and even see the sheep brought there to help control the invasive plants!

Can you believe Gov Island is just 8 minutes from the energy and excitement of the City? Don’t miss out! Governor’s Island officially closes to the public November 1st.

How It Works:

• We will meet at The Battery Maritime Building, located at 10 South Street at 11:00 AM and we will take the ferry over together (we have your ferry ticket! NO NEED to reserve  on your own).
• Come alone or with friends, we will set up the teams!
• Each team will have 90 minutes to find as many clues as they can on the island (clues will be in historical markers, wildlife, tourists, statues, and hidden secrets)
• At the end, each team will end at a specific location to see which group has uncovered the most clues to win prizes!
• After the prizes are awarded, you will have an hour to enjoy the island before we head back to the ferry/Manhattan!
