Unique ways to explore a city
It's one of those days; you're feeling mischievous and want an adventure. However, you have a dilemma; you don't want just any ordinary adventure. Fortunately, there are many creative urban activities you can do in only a few hours.
Are you interested in mysteries? If you live in San Francisco, you can participate in a heated spy game called Jericho San Francisco. You will find yourself exploring San Francisco while trying to fulfill a specific mission.
In this game, everybody you see is a spy, so you must be sneaky. Just bring a NERF gun, a hat and your imagination. It only happens once a month, so check the date!
What if you want to see the city from above? If you live in Sydney, Australia, why not allocate a few hours to checking out the BridgeClimb? You can ascend the Sydney Harbour Bridge and get a bird's-eye view of the city. Or imagine walking on the outside edge of a tower 356 meters above the ground without holding onto anything. You can enjoy this thrill at the EdgeWalk, in Toronto, Canada. It's Toronto's tallest urban adventure!
