Wildlife Watch Gainesville

Welcome to Wildlife Watch

This time, don’t just walk through—watch. Wildlife Watch Gainesville is a DIGITAL SCAVENGER HUNT designed to add a layer of clues, observation, and playful problem-solving to your time at the Santa Fe College Teaching Zoo.

As you explore, your phone may send you in different directions with puzzles, photo prompts, observation tasks, location-based discoveries, team activities, creative mini-tasks, or clues that require a closer look at your surroundings.

One Rule: Participate Your Way

There’s no checklist you have to finish. Every activity is completely optional.

If a prompt isn't comfortable, accessible, or something you want to do, simply skip it and continue. Set your own pace and spend your time on the parts of the hunt you enjoy.

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.

The Boundaries Are Not Part of the Puzzle

No clue should take you somewhere guests aren't supposed to be. Remain in publicly accessible visitor areas and follow all venue instructions, property rules, local laws, and safety guidance.

Never enter restricted, private, closed, or staff-only spaces. Follow directions provided at each location and give the animals, other visitors, property, and surrounding environment the respect they deserve.

Watch. Notice. Discover.

Your first prompt starts the game—but your own powers of observation keep it moving. Open Wildlife Watch Gainesville and see what details you can catch before they pass you by.
