Registration is not essential, but you will not have full access
all functionality and all attraction info on the site. If you want
post to the discussion boards and have unlimited access all the
information we have on the thousands of venues and attractions, you
will need to register. It's absolutely free and will only take a
few seconds. All information you submit is secure and we will only
ever let someone contact you if you give us your explicit permission
to do so.
Registration also enables us to bring you more relevant information
- for example listing attractions close to you, types of attractions
you are particularly interested in or special dated events coming up
in your area.
If you decide not to register, you can still use the site, search
for attractions and read posts in the discussion boards. You will
not however be able to submit posts to the discussion boards, be
able to access all details of the venues listed, or benefit from
getting more tailored information.

Absolutely not! We hate spam just as much as you do. We will only ever send

Yes. Once you have registered, we can use your postcode or postal town to

Absolutely! Moley and the team love to see what you and your kids think of
the child-friendly attractions we have listed on IdeasForTheKids.com.
More importantly, so do our users. Reviews provide really useful
additional information about the attractions, helping parents decide where
to go with the kids. You can post comments, reviews and ratings on any
attraction you have visited. Simply visit the attractions page on the site
and click on the add review link. You don't even need to be a registered
user, though we do ask you to take note of a few simple guidelines. And
as a thank you, Moley will enter you into the monthly Prize Draw for each
review you submit. Our discussion boards
allow you to have even more of a say about specific attractions as well as
passing on useful hints and tips.

Absolutely!!! We want the information on IdeasForTheKids.com to be as accurate
and up-to-date as possible. With over 10,000 attractions listed, this is no
trivial task and we can sometimes get behind on changes to opening times,
admission prices, and the latest facilities and attractions. If you do find
errors or omissions, please do let us know using the report error link on each
page and give us as much information as you can and Moley will check out the
info and update the page as quickly as possible.

Sure. If you want some hints and tips on searching, take a look at our
search hints and tips page. If you still can't
find what you are looking for it may be that for some reason we don't yet have
that particular venue listed. Please do let us know using the
Submit Attraction form so Moley can investigate and add it
to our database.

Moley is a shy, quiet, fun-loving creature who likes nothing better than
seeing kids having fun and enjoying themselves. He spends most of his time
bustling about finding new places for kids to visit and keeping our huge
list of attractions up-to-date. He is so busy that no-one really knows what
Moley looks like... but with the help of famous and highly acclaimed animator
and caricaturist Picasso Griffiths, we have tried to bring him to life for you.
We hope you like him... and all his various incarnations on the site!
