The MFA Madness Scavenger Hunt
- private
- adults
- indoor
Discover the art of adventure…
…on a whirlwind tour that reveals the best of the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg. But this isn’t like any museum tour you’ve ever taken before. On teams, you’ll follow clues through the Gauguins, Monets, O’Keeffes, Cezannes, and sculpture gardens, while searching for the answers to fun and funny questions about the unusual art you find.
You might tackle such questions as…
- Find a god who looks like he’s doing the wave, the Macarena, and the can-can, all at the same time. What’s the “Dopey” name of the dwarf underfoot?
- What unlucky number cries tears of the gods?
- Who said, “I’ll paint an angel when I see one”?
- Who was the Mad Potter of Biloxi, and what makes his top hat tip-top?
- Why does a silky sulker remind you of Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven”?
Don’t know the answers? Don’t worry! We haven’t provided the additional clues and directions that will lead you to the right spot. No knowledge of art is necessary to play: you just need sharp eyes and comfy shoes.
For an extra challenge, try the Murder at the MFA Scavenger Hunt, which combines those questions with a deadly whodunit that you need to solve before time’s up.
These games are great team-building, bonding, laugh-inducing activities for birthday parties, family get-togethers, social outings—you name it.

“Thank you for putting together such an amazing event for us! We had such an amazing time, and everyone is still talking about it today!

From pioneers to pirates to ballplayers and beyond
Go on a whirlwind tour across the centuries on a scavenger hunt at the surprising Tampa Bay History Center. On teams, you’ll follow clues and wend your way through re-creations of various periods of Florida’s past to answer tricky, humorous questions about what you discover.
The museum’s displays are packed with interesting information presented in innovative, multimedia displays. You’ll witness hair-raising battles, visit a cigar-making factory and an old-time cigar store, ride through a steer roundup and avoid a stampede, ponder a local celebrity mermaid, marvel at sports memorabilia, read stirring stories of Tampa’s men and women at war overseas, and join a crew of cut-throat pirates on an overseas quest.
No knowledge of Tampa’s history is required: you just need good teamwork, sharp eyes, and comfy shoes. Come see for yourself why we think this new location on the Riverwalk is one of America’s best history museums. And after the hunt, you could relax at the new outpost of the legendary Columbia restaurant of Ybor City.
