Here’s what makes GHM so helpful:

  • Curated Content: The website focuses specifically on family-friendly activities, saving you time sifting through general event listings.
  • Direct Information: We don’t make you click around though page after page chasing information. We provide direct links and detailed listings complete with details like dates, times, costs, age appropriateness, and where to find further information.
  • Special May Highlights: With May being a popular month for travel, the website highlights special events happening throughout the month, like Comicpalooza or the Jurassic World: The Exhibition.
