Scavenger hunts
As part of our education program we offer a variety of scavenger hunts that lead students and scouts through a self-guiding tour of the museum. Each question leads students to an exhibit within the museum. We also offer an outdoor scavenger hunt that will lead students or scouts on a brisk walk through the park. The outdoor scavenger hunt traces the diversity and culture found in Little Rock by discovering the different monuments in the park. For more information contact the museum at 501-376-4602.
