Downtown Adventure Hunt

Help! I'm creating a kid friendly walk and I'm looking for feedback to improve my Map/Legend and Hunt questions. Please print both documents to have in your hand for the Hunt. Once I get the content perfect, I will work on making the map/legend and questionnaire pages professional. This walk is targeted for children ages 7 and up. The walk starts and ends at the Glenneyre Parking lot 6. I think it will take about 1 hour to complete. There are some stairs and crossing busy streets at crosswalks. Site 16 is to visit the Visitor's Center and pick up a free LB postcard. Try to complete this walk during their operating hours (10am-5pm) so kids can get a free postcard to send to a friend or family member and they will get to see Catmosphere in the same building.

3. GREETER STATUE
329 S. Coast Hwy
Eiler Larsen was born in Denmark in 1890, and when he was 52 years old, he settled in Laguna Beach. From the 1940s to the early 50s he would stand on the street corner and wave and say hello to everyone who passed by. The other stature of him is in front of Sapphire Restaurant in the HIP District part of town. There is also a street named after him near the Laguna Beach Public Library.

BONUS QUESTION!
Look on the sidewalk about 30 feet towards Main Beach (North) and you will find Eiler Larsen's footprints.

4. MAIN BEACH PLAYGROUND
Remodeled in 2013, this playground is modeled after the real Lifeguard Tower and teaches kids about proper tide pool etiquette and what you can find in our local tide pools.

5. LIFEGUARD TOWER
Laguna's most photographed landmark, this structure was built in the 1920s and was initially used as an office for a gas station. In the 1930s, the lifeguards took it over and moved it across PCH to where it stands now. The top floor is used for observation, the ground floor has first aid and rescue equipment, and the dug-out basement is surfboard storage.

6. "GRACE" MURAL
On the wall, near the bathrooms and the Lifeguard Headquarters, this mural by Terry Thornsley, includes two figures rowing a dory in churning seas. It lights up at night utilizing LED lighting.

15. "The Watermen's Wall"
Randy Morgan, the artist, wanted to tell the story of what the true waterman is, and of our ocean culture in Laguna Beach. This piece features watermen - surfers, skim boarders, stand-up paddle boarders, lifeguards and more -- both past and present. Some are famous like Mike Parsons, while others are local legends.

16. THE VISITOR'S CENTER

2. "ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY IN PARADISE"
The artists explained, "The title and inspiration for this piece comes from the desire to bring joy, perhaps a smile, a moment of abandonment to the lighter side of life. It is a contribution to an ever happier life in Laguna."
