About this Event
Come let your child run around, take pics, and learn a little about a historic place. No sitting still, listening to a long presentation, or getting scared by ghost stories!
Here’s everything you need to know before you book.
Best for ages 5–10
The hunt asks for simple finds— like finding headstones of particular shapes. It is best for young kids. A grown-up must stay with each group the whole time. There is no charge for adult companions, who do not receive hunt supplies.
Sticker-printing camera provided
Each child receives a sticker-printing camera and a clipboard with the scavenger hunt items. They document their finds by snapping a pic and affixing it to their hunt sheet. We collect the camera at the end, but the completed sheet is yours to keep. Kids receive a small prize at the end to reward their hunting!
The scavenger hunt takes about an hour
The duration of the hunt depends a bit on your child. Most finish in about an hour, but older or particularly focused kids may finish faster.
Meet at the cemetery entrance
Meet Kate, the hunt coordinator, at the main entrance of the Broad Street Cemetery on the corner of Broad and Winthrop Streets.
