Frequently asked questions
How does it choose?
It checks 37 attractions and 22 beaches against your answers. Anything closed on your day, unsuitable for the youngest in your group, over budget or not dog-friendly (if you're bringing one) is left out. The rest are scored on fit: indoor places rise on wet days, and nearer places rise if you say where you're staying.
Where do the opening times come from?
From each attraction's own published dates, last checked 2026-10-19. Where an attraction hasn't published dates for your day, it is ranked lower and marked "check opening".
