Before you buy

How do I get the guide?

After a successful purchase, Lemon Squeezy provides access to the PDF and emails a receipt with a content-access link. Save the PDF to your phone, tablet or computer. You do not need a KidPaths account.

Can I use it offline?

Yes. Download the PDF before you head out. Its text, photographs and map remain available offline; live venue and directions links need an internet connection. The page layout is easiest to read on a tablet or computer, and can be zoomed on a phone.

Does it include attraction tickets?

No. You are purchasing the guide only. The itinerary budgets state their assumptions, including example family ages, admission and parking. Food figures are planning allowances; fuel and accommodation are excluded.

What if I need help with my purchase?
