The Great Washington DC Scavenger Hunt takes place on the National Mall and is an entertaining team building activity in the world’s most important city. There is lots to do and see here and your group will not only enjoy each other’s company in a competitive setting, they will also learn more about the history of the country.
The scavenger hunt incorporates the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian, the National Gallery of Art, the National Archives, the Holocaust Museum, the Botanic Gardens and the White House, just to name a few.
