Dive into the excitement with the Broward Scavenger Hunt — a scavenger hunt adventure packed with exploration, learning and the chance to win a prize.
Xavier Riddle and The Secret Museum is a popular television show airing on PBS Kids. It is inspired by the highly praised children’s book series Ordinary People Change the World by Brad Meltzer, a South Florida resident and #1 New York Times bestselling author and award-winning illustrator Chris Eliopoulos.
The Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) in downtown Fort Lauderdale is hosting a traveling exhibit called Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum: The Exhibit from January 17, 2025 – May 11, 2025. The Broward Scavenger Hunt is a fun and engaging way for families to explore Broward’s rich history and attractions just like Xavier Riddle does with his friend and sister.
