Happy Cat Month Scavenger Hunt @ Southwest Regional
Arts

The Happy Cat Month Scavenger Hunt at Southwest Regional is a self-guided search game where children search for ten hidden cat pictures tucked away in the library's dedicated kids' space. This activity is open during regular library hours, making it easy to fit between nap times. It is best suited for toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary children who enjoy a visual challenge. There is no cost to participate, and the library offers a large, free parking lot right outside the main entrance. You do not need to register in advance, so you can simply show up whenever your schedule allows. This is a reliable weekend option because it combines a quiet indoor outing with a game that keeps little feet moving. It is an easy way to break up the day, pick up some new bedtime stories, and let your kids burn off some energy in a calm environment.
