For once, there is a fun smartphone app that allows young people to get involved with real-world locations, a sort of real-life treasure hunt, only it's based on popular 1990's cartoon characters.
There are several cities that promote tours involving Pokemon Go™ now, from Seattle to San Francisco, Boston to Washington D.C., there's even a huge event in Austin! You can literally go 'catch 'em all' now while seeing it all! Our favorite option? The growingly popular Central Park Pokemon Go™ Safari!
This 'safari' takes groups of 60-80 people around the vast 843-acre park, winding you through woods, trails, lakes, fountains, and statues to find them all, literally! Below is a personal account from a safari taker from New York, his group, in particular, being led by level 21 trainer Adam Wennick, who took them to the most Pokemon populated parts of the park, and did it with some finesse!
