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.
