Munchkin Fun was created for one simple reason – we wanted to find more things do with our family. We knew the events were out there; we just didn’t have the time or patience to sort through 30 websites and make 15 calls to find the info. We wanted one central, comprehensive, update spot to find out what’s happening this week, this weekend and next month – and Munchkin Fun was born.
We’re bringing the kids calendar back. Use Munchkin Fun to discover events this weekend, find a new class to take with your little one or plan your next vacation. Munchkin Fun pools the talents of local editors, user-submitted events and a daily updated database to provide you with the most up-to-date, comprehensive kids calendar in town.
