About this Event
Seminole Wildside Challenge
Your Phone Just Became Part of the Adventure

Arrive curious. Seminole Wildside Challenge adds a playful mission to your visit, sending digital prompts your way as you explore the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens.

Instead of knowing every task in advance, you’ll discover the hunt as it unfolds. One prompt might ask you to solve a puzzle, while another could involve spotting a detail, taking a photo, following a clue, making a location-based discovery, working with your team, or completing a creative mini-challenge.

What comes next? You’ll have to open the hunt to find out.

First Things First — Find That Email

Your adventure actually begins before you reach the zoo.

This is a DIGITAL SCAVENGER HUNT, and your instructions, access information, and important event details are SENT THROUGH EMAIL.

Please check your inbox before arriving. If you don't see the email, CHECK YOUR SPAM OR JUNK FOLDER.

Also make sure your phone is fully charged and you’re ready to explore and participate.

A REMOTE HOST will check you in and be available to assist you during the experience. Questions before or during your hunt? Contact 609-855-1852.

A Quick Reminder

Unless specifically stated otherwise, the hunt does not include event or attraction admission, parking, transportation, food and drinks, reservations, additional activity or attraction fees, or personal expenses. Please make your own arrangements for anything you may need.

You Call the Shots

See a challenge you don't want to complete? Skip it.

Every activity is optional. You never have to attempt something you're unable or uncomfortable doing. There’s no need to rush through the prompts either—enjoy the hunt at your own pace.

The Zoo Comes First

Your scavenger hunt should never interfere with the venue or its surroundings. Follow all zoo rules, posted instructions, local laws, and safety guidance. Remain in areas that are open to visitors and never enter restricted, private, closed, or staff-only spaces for a clue.

Be thoughtful around animals, other guests, and the environment, and follow any directions provided at each location.
