For the competitive and independent group, this high-energy scavenger hunt requires teams to work together deciphering a series of clues that lead them to various areas all around the Zoo. Every team has a different version—and time is of the essence! Teams must develop a strategy for completing the challenge in the allotted time, explore habitats to earn as many points as possible, and win the challenge. Prizes are awarded to the top teams! 
This experience is currently only offered at the San Diego Zoo.

ANIMAL ENRICHMENT WORKSHOP
At the Zoo, enriched experiences enhance the quality of life for the wildlife in our care. Wildlife care specialists spend many hours developing complex ways to challenge every species, both mentally and physically, to elicit species-specific behaviors and elevate meaningful daily activity levels. Our wildlife care specialists request over 25,000 enrichment items each year—and our enrichment volunteer team needs your help! Groups will have the opportunity to create items that may include preparing and working with gourds, reclaimed fire hoses, burlap, hay beds, and other approved materials. This is an opportunity to have fun in a social environment working alongside our wonderful enrichment volunteers, all while learning and giving back to wildlife.
This experience is currently only offered at the San Diego Zoo.
Length of Time: 2 Hours
