The Western Development Museum is debuting a new scavenger hunt challenge in its locations across Saskatchewan, this time to encourage families to celebrate Heritage Week.
Beginning Feb. 13, families are challenged to visit any one of the Moose Jaw, Yorkton, North Battleford or Saskatoon locations in-person to complete the newest scavenger hunt event: locating all of the old-fashioned penny-farthing bicycles hidden around the museum.
The scavenger hunt is free with admission to the WDM and appropriate for museum visitors age two and older. In addition to enjoying the family-friendly activity, participants will also have the potential to win heritage-themed prizes for completing the hunt.
The WDM previously offered a scavenger hunt type event over the holiday season, which Moose Jaw programs co-ordinator Karla Rasmussen said in a previous article for the Moose Jaw Express was very well received by museum guests.
The scavenger hunt will be available at the Moose Jaw and Yorkton WDM locations until Feb. 28, while it will conclude earlier at the Saskatoon and North Battleford locations on Feb. 21.
All museum locations are currently open Wednesdays to Sundays, from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., with the first hour of the day on weekdays reserved for senior citizens and individuals more vulnerable to COVID-19.
