Why you can trust this list
Most local event lists are a scrape of a scrape. Dates roll over from last year, prices are whatever someone typed in 2023, and half the venues closed.
✓ Priced for your family
What an adult pays, what a kid pays, at what ages, what is free, and the senior, student and military rates where a venue publishes them. Not one generic number.
✓ Every card shows the day we checked it
Every card carries the date we last read it off the venue's own page. A card stamped Verified was read on that day. A card stamped Sourced has a named source and no date, which is usually a place that has not opened yet and has no page of its own to read. Where we could not confirm a price the card says No published price. We do not guess at a number we have not seen.
✓ What the seal on each card means
The round seal at the foot of each card shows what kind of event it is: a drawing for the category, in that category's colour, like a microscope for science or waves for the water. The pattern around its edge is cut from the venue's own name, so one venue always wears the same seal. Everything the seal shows is written on the card in words as well.
✓ No account, no tracking
No sign-up, no analytics, no ads following you around. Nothing about your plans leaves your phone.
✓ Nobody buys their way on
A business can sponsor, and when it does the card says Sponsored, in that word, every time. What money never buys is a place on the honest list.

Listing is free and it stays free. We do not charge for inclusion, we do not rank paying venues higher, and we will never leave a real family event off the list because nobody paid us. Nonprofits, churches, schools and libraries: same form, same free listing, same treatment.
