The Story Behind PlaySource
Hi there! I’m Erin, founder of PlaySource and mom to Alex.
If you’ve ever spent a Saturday wondering what to do with your kids, and then found yourself back at the same museum, mall, or local park, then you’ve come to the right place!
When my daughter was born, I often found myself looking online for family-friendly activities in the Dallas area. I was disappointed with the lack of simple, reliable online resources, so I created my own! What started as a hand-written list that I kept in my car has turned into the PlaySource Directory of 1,000+ places to play!
I created PlaySource with the goal of improving the lives of parents, one Saturday at a time. My hope is that by using PlaySource, you can spend less time figuring out what to do with your kids and more time having fun with them!
See you around town!
Erin
