About Hopabout

Finding something to do with kids shouldn’t take a dozen tabs and three phone calls. Hopabout puts the places to go and the shows that come to you on one map, with what they cost and how to book.

It started with vacation care. Coordinators spend hours every term ringing around to find excursions and incursions that take groups, and what they cost. The same answers help every parent planning a weekend and every teacher planning an excursion.

Where the listings come from

Every listing is gathered from the venue’s or provider’s own website. Prices are copied as the venue writes them, and we show the line we copied, so you can check it. When a venue doesn’t publish a price, we say so instead of guessing. Things change, so always confirm with the venue before you book.
