You can complete this scavenger hunt in any order. Look for outdoor signs to help you find information to help with the hunt.

The scavenger hunt will take you to the Performing Arts Center, the WAC Dorm, Bathtub Row, Fuller Lodge, the statutes on Central Avenue, and the Ice House. Follow the sidewalk behind the Bathub Row houses, not Bathtub Row itself, to find the walking tour sign and avoid walking in the street.
