Kiddos Events
Kiddos Events — Helpful answers.
Getting started, everyday use, and clear answers for grown-ups.
Where is Kiddos Events available?
Current coverage includes the San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, Riverside, Seattle, Dallas, Houston, New York, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. regions. Coverage and individual listings vary; check the app for ideas in your area.
What kinds of outings can we find?
Look for parks, playgrounds, indoor play, museums, science centers, library storytimes, seasonal events, community programs and family workshops. The app considers practical context such as time, weather and location.
Are tickets or reservations included?
No. Kiddos Events helps you discover and compare ideas. Tickets, bookings, venue admission and transport are arranged separately with the organizer or provider.
What should I check before we go?
Listings are suggestions, not a safety guarantee. Confirm dates, hours, prices, bookings, age rules, accessibility and current conditions with the venue or official source. Decide whether the activity suits your child, reassess conditions when you arrive and supervise throughout the visit. Independent organizers and operators run their own activities and places; Kiddos does not inspect or certify their safety.
Does the app use my location or online services?
Activity discovery may use location and weather and relies on external information services. Review the app’s permission prompts and privacy policy for the current services and choices. This website’s example uses a named fixed location instead.
What is free and what does Premium add?
An included selection lets you explore the app. Events Premium or eligible Kiddos+ adds broader discovery and activity details. Preview and search access can differ; the app explains the access available before purchase.
Where is Kiddos+ available?
Kiddos+ is currently offered in the United States. New purchase availability depends on the Apple storefront, available products and successful iCloud setup. Individual app availability and standalone plans can differ. The in-app purchase screen shows the options available to you.
How do I restore Kiddos+ on another device?
Connect to the internet and open the app originally used to subscribe. In its grown-up settings, use Restore Purchases with the Apple Account that made the purchase. Check iCloud is enabled for the account being used, then open the other participating Kiddos apps. Cross-app membership recognition and Apple Family Sharing are different: do not assume that a different family member’s Apple Account is eligible. Check the subscription’s current Apple sharing settings or contact us before buying again.
How do I manage or cancel a subscription?
Use the subscription controls in the original purchasing app or your device’s Apple subscription settings. Apple shows the current price, renewal date, cancellation and any eligible sharing options. Removing an app does not cancel an Apple-billed subscription.
Is the free app sample a subscription trial?
No. An app-provided book selection or learning, listening or play allowance is separate from an Apple subscription trial. The app explains its current sample. If an Apple trial is offered, eligibility, duration, price and automatic-renewal terms are shown before the grown-up confirms the purchase.
What can I ask Siri?
Ask for an idea or open a familiar part of the app. Set up your area and preferences in Kiddos Events first.
- Siri, find a family activity with Kiddos Events.Request a small shortlist from available cached recommendations.
- Siri, search in Kiddos Events.Open activity search.
- Siri, find weekend activities with Kiddos Events.Open the weekend view.
- Siri, show favorites in Kiddos Events.Open your saved favorites.
The basic activity request has spoken feedback; the newer registered entry phrases may work better as tapped Shortcuts actions. Suggestions depend on the area and information already available to the app. Always check the organizer’s current hours, tickets and suitability before going.
What can I search for in Spotlight?
The update adds search for current activity and venue names in the app’s active area. Use the exact name from a card for the clearest match.
- Kiddos EventsFind the app and available What Now?, Search, This Weekend or Favorites actions.
- An activity or venue nameSearch a name from your local app catalog; availability changes with the area and event dates.
Activity and venue result tapping is still being checked. If a result is missing or does not open as expected, use Search inside Events. An indexed listing is not a live booking or a guarantee that a venue is open.
What does the Home Screen widget do?
Something to Do shows an illustrated outing idea; larger sizes also show the city. Tap the card for its ordinary activity details. The updated widget can use another eligible cached idea when an earlier suggestion has passed.
Small, medium, large and iPad extra-large layouts are included. iOS controls refresh timing. Open Events to refresh local information: a cached widget cannot learn a newly announced closure by itself. Normal app access applies when opening details.
Add it to your Home Screen
- When the update is available, install it and open the app to complete setup.
- Touch and hold an empty part of the Home Screen. Choose Edit, then Add Widget, and find Kiddos Events.
- Choose a size, add the widget, then finish editing. On older system versions, the gallery may use a + button.
How can I use the app with Shortcuts?
Find Kiddos Events in the Shortcuts action list. Use its quick entry actions or configure Find a Family Activity for a mode such as Now, This Weekend, Rainy Day or Free.
- A weekend starting pointSave the This Weekend action, then compare the ideas together in the app.
- Ideas for a rainy dayChoose the Rainy Day mode in Find a Family Activity and review the returned suggestions.
Shortcuts reuse available catalog information and saved preferences. They do not reserve tickets, change your preferences or bypass membership access. Confirm important needs directly with the venue.
Make a shortcut
- Open Shortcuts, start a new shortcut and search the action list for Kiddos Events.
- Choose an available action, fill in any choices and give the shortcut a clear name.
- Run it once with a grown-up to check the result. Keep any app setup, unlock or parent confirmation in place.
Why can’t I see an action, search result or widget yet?
This is an update preview. Some described features may not be in your installed App Store version yet. Check the app’s release notes when an update becomes available.
The examples use English. Features can depend on device, system version, language and region. Some natural-language requests need a supported on-device model; simple named actions are a separate feature. Apple’s Siri service has its own processing rules, even when an app’s own helper runs on device. These native features do not run on this website.
A few things to check
- After updating, open the app and finish its initial setup before trying system actions.
- For missing search results, check the app’s Show App in Search and Show Content in Search settings. Siri also needs to be enabled for the app where that setting is offered.
- If a spoken request fails, try the matching action in Shortcuts or open the app directly. Apple controls recognition, result order and how many quick actions fit on screen.
