Agents of Discovery: Mission in Santa Clara County
2025-08-01 | C
Ready for a Screen Time Win? Bay Area Families Invited to Explore Nature—Through Augmented Reality!
Free AR Game Gets Kids Off the Couch and Into Local Parks, Transit Stations, and Museums
Tired of seeing your kids glued to screens all summer? The Bay Area Explorer Campaign is here to help—and yes, it still uses a screen. But this time, it’s getting your family outside, moving, and learning together.
From August 1 to September 7, 2025, dozens of local parks and public spaces across the Bay Area are turning into interactive learning zones—like Pokémon Go, but with an educational twist! The free Agents of Discovery® app offers fun “Missions” that encourage kids to explore topics like wildlife, science, history, and transportation—right in their own backyard.
Participating spots include:
U.S. Fish and Wildlife – Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge
Santa Clara County Parks
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
City of San Jose,
City of Morgan Hill
City of San Carlos
Sacramento County Regional Parks
California State Parks – Seacliff State Beach
Oakland International Airport
National Park Service at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park.
“This is a great way to engage families in nature if they enjoy using technology. Much healthier than playing video games at home!” said one Agents of Discovery user.
And here’s the bonus: every Mission your child completes enters them in a prize draw—the more they play, the better their chances!
How to Play:
Download the Agents of Discovery app (free!)
Search for Missions near you and download them before you go
Head out and start exploring—no internet or data required!
Whether you’re hopping on BART, headed to the beach, or visiting your local park, there’s a Mission waiting. It’s a win for physical activity, a win for learning, and a win for family bonding.
Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Staff say, “We are excited to be able to allow our visitors a new and different way to engage with and explore our parks using Agents of Discovery. Park visitors have really had fun with the AR components of the app.”

World’s Largest Sports Competitions Are Made Mini Across The World!

The world’s largest sports competition has been made mini! The world’s smallest sports scenes can be spotted using thousands of LEGO® bricks and hundreds of LEGO® minifigures at Merlin Entertainments’ LEGOLAND® Discovery Centers and LEGO® Discovery Centers around the globe. From archery to wrestling and everything in between, every sport has been built in LEGO® bricks by our team of talented Master Model Builders to celebrate!
The local attraction, LEGOLAND Discovery Center Bay Area, contributed to the global effort by creating Beach Volleyball and Marathon Swimming scene outs of LEGO bricks which took Master Model Builders Alison and CJ around a total of 3 hours to make. Families can be inspired by the sports scene and spot it in the attraction’s MINILAND, a replica of the Bay Area cityscape made up of more than a million LEGO bricks, now through August 11th.
