You can park in the museum's parking lot. Parking is now free in the Museum's lots.
This is located at the Dewitt Entrance. Pull into the entry drive, go past the guard booth, pass up the main parking lot, go around the main entrance, past another parking lot, and then you will see the Dewitt entrance with lots of handicap parking when the road becomes one straight lane.
After going in, there is an elevator to your left. Go up to the 1st floor, take a left when you exit, proceed straight (thru the Great Hall and black Icoms of the Museum Hall) till you reach the entrance desk. You can start the hunt from there with the Intro. Just be aware that the Intro to the hunt will refer to being outside but as you continue to read it, you will see that everyone is directed to go inside and the first clue for everyone begins inside at the entrance. where you are at.
Why not have a picnic in Eden Park before or after? There are several nice picnic spots with tables near the Khron Conservatory.
Picnic Area A is just behind the conservatory itself and usually no one is there if you would like a quiet atmosphere.
Picnic Area B has a great view of the river. You can walk up the colored stairs from the Conservatory parking lot to get there or you can drive there by turning left at St. Paul's Drive and going around the red Water Tower.
Picnic Area C is the Ohio Rive Overlook/Twin Park up from the Conservatory on Victory Parkway. Besides plenty of tables, it has a playground as well.
The Professor's favorite spot for lunch is the Terrace Cafe inside the Art Museum. Highly recommend.
The Mt. Adams Tavern is also open during the day for lunch.
There is a McDonald's and Skyline on Victory Parkway about a 10 minute drive away. Go past the Krohn Conservatory, past the Ohio River Overlook Park and around 2 big curves and you will see them shortly thereafter at the intersection with McMillan Ave.
Important Notes
- Admission to the museum and parking is free.
- The Museum changes works on display so occasionally a work we highlight or use in the hunt can not be found for that reason. Please let us know if something is gone and thanks for your understanding ahead of time!
- This hunt does not have an audio narration button. It is read only so as not to disturb the other patrons.
- We strongly recommend you keep your group size to 4 max because you will be gathering around in front of different works on display.
- Taking place inside a building, the Art Museum hunt has less of a “hunt” element to it than the other hunts that take place outdoors. The emphasis is more on the challenge of the trivia questions and quizzes.
