5.00So much fun learning interesting facts about Austin! We love a challenge and being able to walk around a beautiful city. We were able to stop a few times grab a bite to eat and drink then pick up where we left off.
Nice Way to see Downtown Austin

5.00It was a great activity to do with our older kids and allowed us to participate together to solve the puzzles. The weather was super hot in Austin but appreciated that there was an indoor portion that allowed us to cool off. Would have liked to also see UT but understand that it may have been too far. Would definitely do it again in another city!
Overall very fun!

4.00Lots of fun to be engaged with different parts of the city and learn history I didnt know. A few puzzles were not at all city related, wouldve preferred all Austin focused. Also would be great if took in a loop so end near starting point.
Good experience and time well spent.

5.00Our family (my husband and I and our twelve-year-old daughter and eighteen-year-old son) did the Downtown Austin Scavenger hunt while on vacation.. It was a great activity that kept everyone engaged, and later when we drove through the city we were surprised by how well we knew it and could point out different landmarks- just from doing the hunt. It was like taking a walking tour, but more fun because you have to solve puzzles and can also compete with other teams (your results will be posted on a leader board.) Highly recommend!

5.00This was a great way to see the city. My family really enjoyed it. Especially my teenagers who rarely like anything I come up with. Highly recommend it.
