Five whimsical Egghead sculptures by Robert Arneson scattered around campus including Bookhead, Stargazer, Eye on Mrak, See No Evil/Hear No Evil, and Yin & Yang. Turn your campus walk into a free art scavenger hunt.

Visiting Egghead Sculpture Hunt With Kids

The Eggheads are UC Davis’s iconic campus sculptures — a set of large egg-headed figures that have been a campus landmark for over 30 years. Turning them into a self-guided “hunt” is one of the best free outings in Davis: it gets kids walking the campus, looking for each one, with no admission and no schedule.

What parents say: It’s widely treated as a beloved free campus tradition rather than a ticketed attraction — families pose with favorites like the “Hear No Evil” pair and make a walking game of finding them all. UC Davis publishes a self-guided art-walk route.

Tips From Local Families

  • Free and self-guided — use the UC Davis Egghead art-walk route as your map.
  • It’s a walking activity; good for kids who can manage a campus-length stroll, ideally combined with the Arboretum.
  • Weekends are easiest for campus parking with kids.
