Experience our new, virtual scavenger hunt featuring nine stations located along the Good Zoo’s outdoor walking path and train ride.

Unlock clues by scanning QR codes at each station for a chance to win weekly prizes including free admission tickets, family memberships, and animal encounters!

Each ghoulish guest ages 3-12* will receive a bag of delicious goodies upon completion of our new, digital scavenger hunt!

These tasty treats will include your favorites like Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar, Airheads, Cow Tales, Pepsi, and more!
