Before you buy
How do I get the guide?
Download both PDF versions as soon as your purchase is complete. Your emailed receipt includes a link so you can download them again later. Save the guide to your phone, tablet or computer. No KidPaths account needed.
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.
