ParentsConnect Local

ParentsConnect Local (transitioning from its former identity as GoCityKids) provides shortcuts to the US at its best - all on a local level. Site visitors can find inside info about parks, stores, professional services, restaurants, places to stay, and entertainment, among other things. It's the answer to all those times you've wondered how to begin your search for an age-appropriate show or museum, or playgrounds with sprinklers. Or what to do on a rainy Sunday, where to throw a party for an eight-year-old, and how to find camping equipment you can rent. For travelers who want an inside track on what's going on around town, the website highlights both touristy and non-touristy attractions, child-friendly restaurants, and safe areas to play. Sign up for the weekly event newsletter (sent via email on Thursdays) for a list of the best activities lined up for the coming week, and for the Deals & Steals newsletter (sent via email on Mondays) for savings on gifts, memberships, and more.

ParentsConnect Local is brought to you by the same folks who bring you ParentsConnect, Noggin, Nick Jr., Nickelodeon, Nick@Nite and The N.
