How KidzMaps Works

Find, book, and manage children's activities in one place.

For Parents

Four steps to find an activity that fits

1. Search activities

   Enter your location, dates, and your child's age to see what's available near you.

2. Filter & compare

   Filter by category, price, ratings, and more, and read reviews from other parents.

3. Book

   Pick your dates, add your child’s details, and check out. Some providers confirm instantly; others review your request first — the listing tells you which.

4. Manage everything

   Track bookings, message providers, and manage payments from one dashboard.

Also included

• Secure payments — bookings made through KidzMaps are processed by Stripe. Refunds follow each provider’s cancellation policy.
• Reminders — notifications for upcoming activities and important updates.
• Direct messaging — message providers with questions or special requests.
• Reviews & ratings — read reviews left by parents who booked through KidzMaps.
• Multi-child booking — book for several children at once and save time on admin.
• Provider verification — providers can submit insurance, state license, and staff credentials. See our Safety Standards for what we verify — and what we don’t.

Common Questions

Is KidzMaps free to use?

Free to search and browse. A service fee is added to the parent’s total at checkout — 5% of the order total including any sales tax, plus 50¢ for each payment, itemised before you pay and the same whatever payment method you use. Providers list for free and receive the full price they set.

How do refunds work?

Each provider sets their cancellation policy, which you can review before booking. If you cancel, your refund depends on the policy saved with your booking, when you cancel, and any deposit terms or cancellation fees. Some policies offer partial refunds or no refund. The 25% limit applies to the portion kept under separate non-refundable deposit terms; it does not guarantee a 75% refund of the booking. If a provider cancels or a session is not delivered, contact KidzMaps support for help with the refund or make-up options for the affected booking.

Are providers verified?

Providers who book through KidzMaps go through a verification step where they can submit insurance, state license, and staff credentials. KidzMaps doesn’t inspect facilities or run background checks — see our Safety Standards page for the full list.
