Pear-Scape Trail
Expiration: 2 years after purchase
Discover the creative side of Pearland like never before on the official gamified Pear-Scape Trail!
This citywide scavenger hunt features 23 large-scale pear sculptures painted by local artists and positioned at community hangouts all over Pearland.
Envisioned by Visit Pearland the mission of the Pear-Scape Trail is to promote cultural tourism in the area. The project launched the grand return of the pear back to Pearland after the city transitioned from its historically agricultural landscape to the shopping, foodie, and events destination that it is today.
The more pear sculptures you visit, the more points you earn for prizes from the Visit Pearland office. Post a selfie with your favorite pear on Facebook or Instagram with #VisitPearland for your chance to be featured on our website or social channels!
