Whether you’re a long-time local, a new Bradenton resident, or a visitor, there’s so much to love about this great city! Local nonprofit Realize Bradenton is encouraging the community to rediscover and reimagine the downtown Bradenton area with their Love This City Scavenger Hunt.
These family-friendly outdoor activities will give you the chance to enjoy a self-directed scavenger hunt and win unique “Love This City” prizes.
Not only will these hunts be a ton of fun, but they’ll also help increase awareness for local businesses and cultural assets, promote economic growth in Downtown Bradenton, and maybe even encourage entrepreneurs to start new businesses in the area.
Want to join in on the fun? Here’s a look at each of the three scavenger hunts. If you complete them all, you can also claim an awesome grand prize! All the answers are outdoors, so you won’t need to go inside any buildings to complete your hunts. This makes it the perfect activity for any day you happen to have some extra time.
1. Bradenton Riverwalk
This scavenger hunt will take you along the Bradenton Riverwalk, which is located on the Manatee River between 10th St. W. and Riverside Dr. East. Once you’ve answered all the questions, bring your answer sheet to The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature to redeem your prize!
