Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this activity?

A: There isn't a strict age limit for the Secrets of Castro walk, but it's recommended for teens and adults due to the historical content and some themes around LGBTQ+ issues. Kids might enjoy the hunt but may need help with the clues. Plus, it's a fun way to learn about the area!

Q: What if the weather’s bad? Can we reschedule?

A: You can totally start and stop whenever you want, so if the weather looks bad, you can wait for a sunnier day. Just make sure to check the forecast before you head out. Since it's self-guided, you have the flexibility to pick a better time!

Q: How long does it usually take to complete the walk?

A: It really depends on your pace and how long you spend at each spot. Most people finish in about 2 to 3 hours. You can pause to check out the Castro Theatre or the GLBT Historical Society Museum, too! So it can be as long or short as you like.
