| Detailed Information
Our Standard Stuffed Kidspack contains objects such as a single use camera, a cool pair of binoculars, a compass (Well you want to know which way you’re going, don’t you!?), a personal writing journal and pencil, some art supplies and a flat lens for exploring up REAL close. Everything is stuffed into a specially made child-sized (not too small and not too big) backpack for easy toting on adventure days. Our Standard Kidspack sells for $55 plus tax and shipping and handling. |
| Detailed Information We have the juiciest information about thousands of events, workshops, theatre performances, museums and their exhibits, parks, historic houses, even restaurants for each of our destinations cities. And all from a child's point of view. Our information has been carefully hand collected by our adventure staff and thoroughly screened for age appropriateness and family fun. We've then added some comments and descriptions from kids, parents and staff who have actually explored with us. They're the best critics. We'd love to add your experiences as well! A sample City Site map with information about selected sites is available from each of our Destination City pages for your use. Our complete library of the best information and reviews is available when you work with a personal Adventure Planner ($120 per hour). |
| Interactive City Search Here's where the fun starts! It's simple. You decide what interests your child. Maybe it's snapping turtles, or gargoyles, or Norman Rockwell paintings. Visit one of our City Site maps and search. The result will be great places for your child to explore. And that's not all. Your search will even give you specific exhibits or events that are occurring there that also match his/her interests. Our City Site map will then show you the location of everything you've found that's of interest. If you want more detailed information about a place or an event, that's available too. If you have no idea what interests your child, we have a short interest inventory that will help you solve the mystery. You may be surprised at what you find out. If you would like to search for those places and events that everyone in your family (your son, the twin girls, your grandmother --- you get the idea) would enjoy exploring together, you can do that too. Now that's really fun! The results are always a bit up-side-down and wonderful. Just trust us. Access to full Interactive City Searches is available with the services of a Children Concierge personal Adventure Planner (at $120 per hour). |
| Cutomized Itineraries This is the coolest! After you have selected places and events of interest to everyone in your family and dubbed them your "Favorites", you can click and drag them into a personal workspace just for your family to build your own itinerary or itineraries. You may include as many or as few people in an itinerary. You may create as many itineraries for as many cities as you like. You may save your itineraries in a "Scrapbook" and store them in our "Adventure Attic" and return in a few days or a few weeks or even a few months to work on them. After you have actually used your itinerary to explore a destination city, you can return to our attic to reminisce. Our customized Itinerary Builder is available with the services of a Children Concierge personal Adventure Planner ($120 per hour). |

| Customized Written Adventure Guides Can you imagine having a customized scavenger hunt for your visit to that historic home that your daughter thought was going to be soooo boring! Boy, will she be surprised! Or, maybe your son is into animals and could be tempted to help the guards of that famous gallery look for the barking dogs among the works of art there. Wouldn't it be nice if some of the sites on your itinerary could relate to and enhance your child's school curriculum ? What about related activities to try when you return to your hotel or to your own home. Would you be interested in knowing of great kids books that are related to the sites on your itinerary? How about related places to visit in other cities? Children's Concierge Adventures Planners are the best at this! Adventure Planners customize all suggested activities for each child in your family and coordinated them with your family's itinerary.
