Overview

Dig into the dirty story of New York City's garbage and rats with a family photo scavenger hunt! This activity is fun for families with children ages 6 - 17.

On this scavenger hunt, teams of up to 5 people (including at least one adult) are loaned an instant camera with film for up to 20 photos. Each team has an hour to find items related to garbage or rats in New York City and take a photo. Teams receive points for every photo taken. Some items are trickier than others, so use your phone for on-the-go research. The team with the most points is crowned Rat King. All participating kids receive the same prize.
- No previous knowledge needed; just bring your curiosity and wear comfy shoes!
- Hunts are led by an in-person host (and her “rat” assistants) who can answer questions along the way and offer guidance.
- The goal is to have fun and learn about New York’s grossest topics. This is why all kids receive the same prize at the end.
- Touching garbage or rats is strictly prohibited!
