Beyond the Beltway: Seabrook Pelican Path + Scavenger Hunt Print-able!

by Shanna Leave a Comment

For this week’s Beyond the Beltway adventure, we went hunting for pelicans on the Seabrook Pelican Path! The Seabrook Pelicans remind me of Houston’s Art Cows; however, they are mostly located in a small geographic area. This makes them perfect for a scavenger hunt!

Le Jardineier the Seabrook Pelican
The morning of our hunt we jumped in the car with some water, snacks, a scavenger hunt list and a map of the pelicans’ location. The map was useful, but it is slightly out of date*. Although we didn’t try to find all of the pelicans, we did find that some have been moved since the map was created (see below for some of the changes). Most were still in the same location!

As we drove through Seabrook on our (mostly!) pre-planned route, the kids had a great time searching for the pelicans and yelling out when they saw one. For the first several we actually pulled into a conveniently located parking lot and got out to inspect the pelican. After that though, we just got out for the extra special ones and otherwise the kids were content to look at them through the window. That was fine with me because it seemed like it was taking forever get back in the car and buckle seatbelts before heading to the next one!

Tourist Seabrook Pelican
We had a good time on our pelican scavenger hunt. Even though it was a lot of driving, as least it was air conditioned and we got to explore an area we don’t normally visit. Although this probably isn’t a stand-alone activity, it is conveniently located just minutes from Space Center Houston, the Kemah Boardwalk, and some nice parks including Clear Lake Park (which has a splash pad!) and Brummerhop Park.

*Below is the list of changes that I noticed to the map on the Pelican Path website. I don’t guarantee the accuracy of my updates because I may have just not seen some of the “missing” ones and we didn’t go to all of the locations marked on the map… but I hope this helps!

Missing:
Fly Boy, Kunu, Migratory Birds, Mac, Uncle Sam, Surfer, Mardi Gras

Moved:
Cowboy – moved to N. Meyer Road near 4th Street near Pharoah and Seymour Pelicans

Additions (I’m not sure what their actual names are, so I just gave them descriptive ones):
Military – 1100 Block of 2nd Street, near Hardesty Ave.
Reader – Hardesty Ave. near Posey Pelican

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
