All prizes have been found — thanks for participating!

In celebration of Steinhart Aquarium’s 100th anniversary — and his very own 28th hatchday — our iconic alligator Claude is taking a whirlwind tour of San Francisco on Friday, September 15! He’ll have very exclusive (and definitely real) private access to all venues so is unlikely to be spotted, but good news, humans: Claude will be leaving gifts behind, resulting in 21 prizes scattered across the city for folks to search for or stumble upon. (Psst: One of them is the Grand Prize, featuring a Family Plus Membership, special behind-the-scenes aquarium experience, giant Claude plushie, and more!)

Follow Claude’s itinerary (and keep an eye out for footprints on the doors of these locations) to search for prizes:
