See how Help Me Choose works
A better plan starts with three quick questions.
No long profile. No complicated setup. Just enough context to make the suggestions genuinely useful.
Tell FreePlay what kind of day you need
A rainy-day backup, a free family day, a shorter drive or a surprise.
Tell FreePlay who you are planning for
Toddlers, bigger kids, mixed ages, buggies or grandparents coming along.
Choose anything that must be right
Toilets, easier access, parking, EV charging or staying dry.
A normal map tells you where it is.
FreePlay helps you decide if it is worth loading the car.
The details that decide a family day, shown where known or confirmed:
- Toilets
- Parking
- Cost
- Fencing
- Buggy suitability
- Accessibility and easier access

Built from a real family problem.
FreePlay began after one too many family trips where the missing detail, a toilet, fencing, parking or somewhere dry, decided the whole day. It was built by a parent to make those decisions easier for every family.
