Como Quest

Join us at Como Quest this MEA Weekend!

Make it an MEA Weekend to remember by reserving your tickets to Como Quest today! This immersive Como Friends fundraiser is designed with your whole family in mind:

• See Como without the crowds, and experience up-close animal encounters.
• Create your own team – through an interactive digital scavenger hunt app – for a wild adventure from the tundra of Polar Bear Odyssey to the lush rainforest of Tropical Encounters, and more.
• Follow the conservation clues around campus and uncover new secrets about Como’s extraordinary animals and plants.
• Meet nature by name as you learn all about Como’s animals.
• Learn from Como’s exceptional zookeepers, horticulturists, educators, and volunteers.
• Contribute to Minnesota’s most visited cultural destination so it thrives for generations to come.

Whether you’re looking for a memory-making event to bring kids and grandparents together, a unique staycation idea for young families, or a fun adventure for caregivers and kids, Como Quest is a great way to get curious about the wonders of nature, while supporting Como’s wild and precious animals and plants.

Como Quest is a team activity!

Tickets are sold individually so you can build a team of any size. Your team includes all adults and children who are participating in the event. Children ages three and under participate for free. For the best experience, we recommend teams of 4-6 players per team.

Your Como Quest ticket will allow you to create the team of your choice through the Goosechase scavenger hunt app. The scavenger hunt will run from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. the day of the event. A link to set up your Goosechase team will be emailed the week of Como Quest. Looking for more information on Goosechase now? Head to their website to find out more.

While Como Quest is great for kids of all ages, adventurers under 4 years old can take on the Cubs Quest, a paper scavenger hunt available at the event tailored to the smallest explorers.

All players will enjoy a family-friendly mix of hands-on activities, games, and crafts for kids at Como Quest, all included in the cost of your ticket. You'll also have the opportunity to support Como by purchasing a Mystery Bag, participating in additional fun-filled fundraising games, and donating to the Como Quest Fund-a-Mission.

What are you supporting?

All proceeds from Como Quest help the animals, plants, and education programs you love at Como Park Zoo and Conservatory thrive and maintains free admission so that all people can enjoy this community treasure.

“We had a LOT OF FUN and the kids loved completing the Conservation Missions around Como Zoo. We can’t wait to sign up for the next Como Quest!”

“The concept is fantastic and I loved that it was on an app. There was no fussing with paper or pens, and I have great photos of the kids on my phone to keep the memories from Como Quest.”

We look forward to having you set sail with us on the next Como Quest!
