Here Be Dragons: An Interactive Museum Scavenger Hunt

We’ve redefined the scavenger hunt to make it more scavenger-y, more interactive, and more..fun. Join us as we celebrate the new movie Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald with “Here Be Dragons” our new two-part, activity-laden scavenger hunt. Part one launches in the American Museum of Natural History.  This tour will initially be offered Sundays at 2:30 PM, and by request. Please allow two hours for your adventure.

Drawing from the menageries of creatures in both Fantastic Beasts and the upcoming sequel, the hunt will allow  participants to explore galleries throughout the museum as they answer questions, solve clues, engage in creative activities, and track down the origins of some of the creatures from both the Fantastic Beasts stories as well as some other classic myths and tales. Grab your nifflers and join us! Advance registration required; all ticket sales are final.

Griffins, Goblets, and Gold: A Wizarding tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Join us for “Griffins, Goblets, and Gold,” an interactive ‘wizarding’ tour in the Metropolitan Museum inspired by the Harry Potter books. See spaces and places that might remind you of those in the books, from part of an actual castle to mythical creatures that resemble those in the story. You’ll participate in activities, explore the museum from a wizard’s perspective… and maybe even do a little magic. (Appropriate interactive wizarding gear is encouraged.) Advance reservations required. Please allow two hours for your tour.

Please note: There are no objects or replicas of objects from the movies in the Metropolitan Museum.

These tours are in no way endorsed by or affiliated with J.K. Rowling, Bloomsbury Publishing, Arthur Levine Books, Scholastic, Little, Brown, Pottermore or Warner Bros.
