Finder’s Keepers: A Children’s Scavenger Hunt in Dartmouth

by Molly Armando

The fieldstone Dartmouth Cultural Center with its red arched door on a sunny corner in Dartmouth.

Looking for something fun to do with the kids before the summer winds down? The Dartmouth Cultural Center has you covered. They are hosting a free scavenger hunt for children ages 3 to 12 and it is the perfect way to get out, explore, and maybe even win a prize.

How it Works

Pick up your scavenger hunt form between Wednesday, August 27 and Saturday, August 30 at the Dartmouth Cultural Center, located at 404 Elm Street.

From there, it is game on. Kids will have a list of items to find around town. Each item can be “captured” in two ways:

Snap a picture of the item
Or get a signature from the local businessperson where the item is located

The Rules

At least 10 items must be found in order to win a prize.
Find all 12 items and there is a bonus prize waiting.
Completed forms and pictures need to be returned between Thursday, August 28 and Saturday, September 6 between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

The scavenger items themselves will be on display ahead of time, from Saturday, August 23 to Wednesday, August 27, so you can get a sneak peek.

Why It’s Worth Checking Out

Events like this are what make Dartmouth special. It is not just about prizes, it is about kids running around with their families, exploring local businesses, and getting a taste of what makes our community vibrant and unique.

If you have questions, give the Cultural Center a call at 508-728-606.

So grab the kids, grab a camera, and get ready for some summer adventure. Who knows? They might even come home with more than just a prize, they might discover a new favorite spot in town.

REVIEWS

Ryan Lombard

Before choosing TIDES, we kept running into agents who felt transactional or overly sales-focused. Molly was completely different. She gave us thoughtful advice throughout our home search in Westport and Padanaram and genuinely cared about helping us find the right fit for our family. She knows the South Coast market incredibly well and offered insights about neighborhoods, schools, restaurants, and even seasonal changes that we never would have known otherwise. We’re so grateful we found TIDES Real Estate Group and would absolutely recommend them to anyone moving to Dartmouth, Padanaram, or Westport.

Moving to the South Coast from out of state felt overwhelming at first, but Molly made the process feel much more personal and manageable. She spent time explaining the differences between neighborhoods in South Dartmouth, Padanaram, and Westport instead of giving us the typical sales pitch. Her knowledge of local restaurants, beaches, commuting patterns, and even how the towns change seasonally made such a difference. You can tell TIDES Real Estate Group genuinely cares about helping people find the right fit, not just closing deals. We recommend them to anyone searching for homes in Padanaram, Dartmouth, or Westport.

Sold our house fast in New Bedford without any repairs

We needed to sell our house fast in New Bedford and didn’t have the money to fix it up. Molly and her team made a fair cash offer and handled everything. We sold the house as-is, avoided repairs, and closed quickly. The process was simple and stress-free from start to finish.

Padanaram Harbor Just Reminded Us Why It Keeps Winning

A full double rainbow set down over Padanaram Harbor last night. It came in right after a passing shower, the kind we get a lot of in late May, and it arced clean across the water from the marina side all the way over toward the bridge. Both bands showed. If you have spent any real time in Padanara
