By St. Lucie County June 25, 2024

Visit St. Lucie is thrilled to invite visitors and residents to embark on an exciting journey with the launch of the new Treasure Coast Kids Quest – St. Lucie digital passport. This innovative program is designed for families to explore and enjoy the diverse range of family-friendly attractions across St. Lucie County in a fun and interactive way.

The Treasure Coast Kids Quest, first launched in September 2021 by the St. Lucie County Tourism Office (Visit St. Lucie), the Martin County Tourism Office (Discover Martin), and the Indian River County Tourism Office (Visit Indian River County), is an interactive and educational experience that encourages families to partake in unique quests tailored for each county, offering an engaging way to discover the area's attractions and activities. This program is not only open to visiting families but also warmly welcomes locals to join in the fun. The St. Lucie version is the first to become digital, promising a new level of interactive fun and exploration.

In St. Lucie, families can embark on a captivating journey featuring prominent attractions such as The National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum, the Manatee Observation and Education Center, the St. Lucie County Aquarium, the St. Lucie County Regional History Museum, the Oxbow Eco-Center, Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens and Savannas Preserve State Park. To kick off the quest, participants can sign up to receive the free digital passport directly to their mobile devices — no app store downloads or printed maps needed. Upon completion of each activity, children and/or guardians can digitally check-in on their passports. Once six of the seven locations have been digitally checked into, families can claim a delightful goodie bag at the Fort Pierce City Marina gift shop, along with a complimentary bag of fish food for the marina's resident fish. This quest is ideal for children aged 3 and older and there's no rush to complete it. Families can savor the experience at their own pace.
