Top Smartphone Apps to Plan a Great Family Day Out

A day spent with the family doing fun activities is great for quality time. Planning a great family day out has gotten a lot easier with apps for smart phones.

Activities

To help you decide what to do on your day out you can use Goby. It will search for outdoor recreation, concerts, places for family fun, museums, spas, and more. The Where app will also help you find interesting things to do, such as zoos, museums, or festivals.

For an active day out, check out Oh, Ranger! ParkFinder. It shows places for hiking, boating, cycling, to name a few.

If a beach is what you want, the app Beach Finder will give you directions and reviews for 5300 beaches. Before you go, you might want to check Surf Report, an iPhone app to get the surfing conditions. Android users can use Magic Seaweed Surf Forecast.

During your day out you may decide to see a movie. The Showtimes app gives you the theaters in your area plus the times of the movies and directions to the theater. It also has movie trailers for you to watch and descriptions of movies.

To stay organized so you won’t forget anything important for your day, use the Remember The Milk app. You can keep track of operating hours for the places you are going or movie times.

Apps for Driving

If your day out includes driving, Google Maps can help plan your route and will be handy if you get lost. It can help you pick alternate routes if necessary.

Weather can be unpredictable and a day that starts with sun can quickly change. The Weather Channel app can be invaluable to making sure your day goes according to plan.

If you are driving through parts unknown, the GasBuddy app will help make sure you don’t run out of gas. It also lets you know the prices for gas so you can save some money.

Personal Needs

Looking for a place to eat is simple with the FastFood app. This will point out all the kids’ favorites and you can view the menu options. If you don’t do fast food, then GoodFoodNearYou will give you healthier options.

There are two apps that help you find restrooms. One is Have2p and the other is SitOrSquat. Both will find bathrooms that are near and have information about cleanliness and features, like a changing table.
