KidScore

With two boys, I’m always looking for kid-friendly places to take them – from museums to restaurants. I was recently introduced to a new website called KidScore. Designed to make it easier for parents to find kid-friendly places, each destination on the website receives a score from 0 to 100 allowing parents to see how kid-friendly a particular location is. The score does not stay fixed permanently and can be influenced based on parent review based on their experiences. 

The higher the score, the more likely a place is to be considered kid-friendly. See here for KidScore’s official rating guide. 

I recently rated the Museum of Science and Industry which has a KidScore of 86. I agree with this rating and find it to be a kid-friendly place with a fun atmosphere for families. 

With a KidScore of 92, the Willis Tower (forever known as the Sears Tower) with its beautiful sky deck is also a great option for families.

KidScore is an interactive way for parents to search for new and fun activities to do within a particular city and find out whether or not its suitable for children. Parents need not worry about making a trip somewhere without knowing what the experience might really be like. The KidScore guide can be found throughout the pages as you search, so you never have to guess what a score means.

Be sure to add your own experiences once you’ve been somewhere! Adding reviews to KidScore’s database means you have a greater opportunity to influence the overall KidScore and direct people towards the fun in your own city! 

Another great use of KidScore would be while traveling. Plan your trip ahead of time by scouting good restaurants or outings for your kids while you’re away from home. You may even find something you weren’t expecting! {And most likely, a kid’s heaven!}
