Travel back in time to 1920’s ancient Egypt in Adventure Expeditions!

As you explore the pharaoh’s lost tomb, you’ll learn about the unique history of the Egyptian civilization while you solve puzzles and decipher hieroglyphics. Pull your way across the water using the wooden raft. Or, see if you can jump from rock to rock without falling in. Don’t miss the secret passageway that leads through a winding walkway and leads to areas where you can use x-ray vision to explore artifacts and more.
