About

Printable one-page missions for zoo, aquarium, museum, and park days. Part of 1Less — also Dinner for tonight’s meal. Questions or a venue to suggest? [email protected]

Talk cards, photos, and live cams on place pages are optional extras — the paper hunt is the main thing.

Common questions

What should I see at the zoo with a toddler?

Pick a few big, easy animals — elephants, giraffes, penguins — instead of trying to cover the whole zoo. Field Trip Kit gives you that short list plus a one-page hunt.

How does the treasure hunt work?

Print the free one-page hunt, bring a pen, and check things off as you walk (stripes, a sound, something tall). No scores. You don’t need the phone once you’re there. Optional Q&A cards are in the full kid list if you want them later.

Is it free?

Yes. The hunts and shortlists on 1Less are free. Tickets, passes, and parking are up to each zoo, aquarium, museum, or park.

We’re tourists / visiting for one day — is this for us?

Yes. Pick the place on the map, print the night before (hotel or home), and use the shortlist so you’re not wandering until everyone’s exhausted. Starter lists are basic; hand-picked kits note when the list was last checked.

Do you have national park scavenger hunts?

Yes — U.S. and international parks are on the Parks tab (and national-parks). Each kit covers one finishable slice (for example Old Faithful boardwalks or Lake Louise shore — not the whole park), with a short stop list and printable mission. Switch the map to International for parks outside the U.S.

Can teachers or homeschool groups use this?

Yes — great for families, and also works for teachers and small groups. Print one sheet per child or share one for the group. Free, no accounts. Handy for small field trips when you want a simple mission instead of a free-for-all map.

How do we study before a visit?

Walk the Virtual Field Trip — zoo, aquarium, museums, and parks. Study maps, live cams, printable cards. Use it the night before a real visit, or any day at home.

Which cities are covered?

Kits cover dozens of U.S. cities (Dallas–Fort Worth, Chicago, New York, San Diego, and more) and major places worldwide (London, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney, and others). Visitors in the U.S. usually start on the U.S. map; elsewhere we open the world map. You can always switch with Popular, US, or International.
