About Us
Fun4gatorkids.com is the ultimate resource for finding stuff to do with kids in the Gainesville, FL area. We currently have over 1000 listings and are adding more each week!
I started fun4gatorkids.com because as a stay-at-home mom, I was desperate to find things to do with my kids out of the house. Any day spent out and about was better than a day spent at home! I was spending hours each week scouring the internet, newspaper and circulars for things to do with my kids, and getting frustrated at the lack of information, and at the number of web sites I had to visit before I found what I was looking for. I spoke with many other parents and teachers who expressed the same frustration.
Gainesville has SO much to offer for young children, but much of it is not advertised, and many activities and businesses do not even have a website, so kids and their caregivers often find out about them through word-of-mouth or just happen to discover things on their own.
I had 3 goals when developing this website:
- To create a FREE online resource for parents, teachers and care-givers to quickly find activities, programs, businesses, and places to visit with kids in the Gainesville area.
- To promote locally owned businesses and programs offering products and services appealing to kids. The website does this in two ways:
- All fun4gatorkids.com listings are FREE!
- Advertising rates are priced below market value in order to allow small businesses the opportunity to advertise.
- To give back to the community by donating a portion of the proceeds from advertising to local charities benefiting children in the Alachua County area.
I hope you enjoy perusing through the site. If you know about a great activity, event, business or program in Alachua County that's not listed, please let me know by visiting the Submit a listing page.
Your feedback, comments and suggestions are always welcome. Please send me an email!
