Kids Activity Picker

Type a location and we fetch the real kid-friendly places nearby (OpenStreetMap data via Geoapify) — playgrounds, parks, beaches, libraries, museums, pools, rinks, and more, plus a small pool of treat stops.

Age bands filter by venue KIND — the data OSM actually has — so an escape room never shows for a toddler, and picking two bands keeps only places that work for both kids.

The "What kind of thing" bucket asks by activity type — playgrounds, beach days, swimming, bowling, arcades, sports fields & courts, walks & hikes — and multiple picks are alternatives ("bowling or swimming"), not requirements.

The mission chips are outcome-first: Burn energy leans on playgrounds and pools, Rainy day on indoor venues, Learn something on museums and libraries, Cheap & cheerful on the free stuff (which is also OSM’s best-covered kid data).

A few home-idea cards ride along — baking, a blanket fort + movie, a backyard scavenger hunt — and the Playground run / Library hour cards attach themselves to the nearest real one in your search.

The Food & treats tab works exactly like the Restaurant Picker — the full cuisine list (ice cream first), diet and price must-haves, and the chains/fast-food avoid chips — so “activity then treat” plans in one place: save picks as ideas and “Add to plan” drops them onto the day’s itinerary.

The Google check adds ratings, admission-price signals, photos, and today’s hours when you want the crowd’s opinion.

Places come from OpenStreetMap community data: names and locations are usually solid; hours are incomplete — a missing tag never hides a place, and “closed” only means its listed hours say so. Age fit is inferred from the kind of venue, not a guarantee — you know your kids. Admission prices arrive with the Google check.
