Walk from Union Station to MOCA on a 2–3 hour self-guided scavenger hunt through Downtown L.A.’s historic landmarks, public art, and hidden corners. Solve challenges on your phone at each stop while learning the neighborhood’s civic and railroad history.
You step out of Union Station into a patchwork of sunlight and shadow: steel beams, tiled roofs, and the distant curve of the 101. The scavenger hunt maps a clear, walkable route through Downtown L.A.’s civic heart — Grand Park’s lawns, the brass angles of Walt Disney Concert Hall, the subterranean lift of Angels Flight, and the stately, light-drenched Bradbury Building. The city moves around you like an actor on cue; murals and bronze plaques invite investigation, and side streets hum with vendors and weekday commuters.

You step out of Union Station into a patchwork of sunlight and shadow: steel beams, tiled roofs, and the distant curve of the 101. The scavenger hunt maps a clear, walkable route through Downtown L.A.’s civic heart — Grand Park’s lawns, the brass angles of Walt Disney Concert Hall, the subterranean lift of Angels Flight, and the stately, light-drenched Bradbury Building. The city moves around you like an actor on cue; murals and bronze plaques invite investigation, and side streets hum with vendors and weekday commuters.
Downtown Los Angeles grew from a Spanish pueblo into a 20th-century rail and civic center, and the tour threads that history into each stop: Union Station’s 1939 architecture, the redevelopment of Bunker Hill, and the museums that anchor L.A.’s cultural shift. Geologically the basin sits on alluvial plains—flat walking with occasional graded steps up historic hills—so terrain is straightforward but urban surfaces vary from smooth plazas to brick sidewalks.
Expect 2–3 hours of steady walking and 20+ challenges delivered on your phone. The experience balances fact with puzzle-solving: short historical blurbs, photo prompts, and location-based enigmas that reward curiosity. Practical guidance is simple — start early to avoid midday heat, bring a charged phone and transit pass, and budget time for coffee or a quick detour into Grand Central Market. The route is wheelchair- and stroller-accessible in many sections, but certain historic interiors may have limited access. This self-guided format gives you the freedom to linger at architecture, sample local food, and tailor the pace — no guide required, just a sense of direction and readiness to explore the city on foot.
No—this is self-guided and can be started any time after you assign the scavenger hunt to your account; choose a start that fits your schedule.
Much of the downtown route is wheelchair and stroller accessible, including plazas and major sidewalks, though some historic interiors may have limited access.
