About FamilyFriendly

We're a network of parents sharing the best events, activities, and experiences in our communities. Our mission is simple: help families have as much fun as possible.

Why we started FamilyFriendly

We love ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. They're pretty good at helping us find things to do with our kids.

But you know who's even better? Other parents.

The parent at school pickup who knows about an amazing weekend festival. The friend who discovered a hidden gem of a playground. The family down the street who always seems to know what's happening around town.

Those recommendations are gold.

But finding them online? That's a different story.

We were tired of wading through spammy articles, endless ads, sponsored recommendations, and "best of" lists that seemed more interested in clicks than actually helping families.

We realized that the best resource was already right in front of us: each other.

So we built FamilyFriendly to take the conversations parents already have at playgrounds, birthday parties, and school pickup—and make those great ideas available to more families.

Because the more we share, the more fun our kids can have.

Our promises to you

1. We're here to maximize fun.

Call it funmaxxing. We want to help you discover the activities, adventures, and experiences that make childhood awesome. Less time searching, more time making memories.

2. Parents helping parents.

We believe the best recommendations come from people who actually live in your community and know what kids love. Our job is to make it easier for parents to share what they know and help each other discover something great.

3. We'll be unusually responsive.

Have an idea? Something bothering you? Think we could do better? We genuinely want to hear it. We're building this for parents, and that means listening to parents. Seriously. Contact us.

4. We won't let this turn into another terrible internet platform.

You know the pattern. A platform starts out great, attracts a community, and then slowly gets worse as ads, algorithms, and monetization take over.

There's even a word for it: enshittification.

We're committed to avoiding it. For real.

We want FamilyFriendly to become more useful as it grows, not less. We'll keep the interests of parents and families at the center of what we do.
