Discover Manatee

Embark on an exhilarating adventure with Manatee County's latest interactive scavenger hunt map! This engaging activity invites residents and visitors alike to discover the hidden treasures and services scattered throughout our breathtaking landscapes. Whether you're exploring solo or embarking on a family adventure, Discover Manatee promises endless excitement and is yet another activity you can do for free in Manatee. Stay tuned on social media and check back often, as we continuously expand with new locations.

There are 10 mini manatee statues strategically placed all throughout the County for you to find in order to better 'discover' the premier place to live, work and play. Each location offers its own challenges in finding the manatee. The map below provides you with the general locations of where the manatees are located. Click on a location and decode the clue to embark on your next adventure. Once found, scan the QR code to fill out the form to document your progress. Since everyone should be able to participate in the fun, some locations are wheelchair accessible, just click on a location and look for the accessibility icon!

Try your best to find all 10 around the county, but we ask that you respect the game and leave our manatees alone so others can enjoy the scavenger hunt as well!
