Search Service From A Day’s Outing Makes Discovering Great Day Trips As Easy As The Magic 8 Ball

Dec. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – With schools getting ready for the annual winter break, parents are realizing that besides all of the holiday planning and preparations they need to do, they’ll also need a good game plan to keep their kids entertained over the extended vacation.  A Day’s Outing, an online tool for discovering local outings, can help families easily search and find engaging day trips that are just around the corner from their home or if even over the hill and through the woods.

A Day’s Outing Answers the Inevitable “What are we going to do today” Question
For families that are looking for fun things to do with their kids over the upcoming two-week holiday school break, A Day’s Outing is almost as simple and fun as the popular Magic 8 ball advice toy.  The service makes it simple for parents to either plan ahead or decide at the last minute on where to take a day trip. Whether they are vacationing or starting their day trip from home, A Day’s Outing is an ideal resource.  Parents can delight their kids with a slew of fun, festive activities that will keep them entertained during their break.  

With a quick and simple search at A Day’s Outing, an array of events and destinations are presented to parents that fit their family’s unique location and interests. Other online services typically expect a user to know where they are going in advance.  Other services also only focus on big metropolitan cities, typically disregarding quaint small towns and charming rural communities.  A Day’s Outing provides families with a different approach to discovering online events and destinations by using their starting location as the jumping off point for their day trip.  Likewise, A Day’s Outing uses each family’s individual interests to help them discover new towns, unknown activities and upcoming events in the many communities that surround them.

A Day’s Outing for that Last Minute Day Trip
A Day’s Outing was started by two moms who understand that day trips are often decided upon at the last minute. Therefore, to help users find an outing quickly, A Day’s Outing was built with simplicity as a priority, so users answer only four questions to find their perfect day trip:

1. Where are you starting from?
2. What type of outing are you looking for?
3. How far do you want to travel to reach your outing?
4. When do you want to go?

With any search for day trips using A Day’s Outing, there is a one page where users choose their preferences for an outing, one page with personalized results for day trip ideas, and one page with details about the outing they are interested in.  The focus on simplicity eliminates getting lost on the site, saving users time and hassles whenever they want to consider or plan a trip. A Day’s Outing also incorporates Google Maps to help users review a visual map so they can see and gauge the driving distance and location of each possible outing before making a decision.

“With Hanukah underway and Christmas and the New Year around the corner, there are a ton of festive special events happening every day in communities both large and small,” commented Elizabeth Muse, CEO of A Day’s Outing.  “A Day’s Outing is thrilled to help families discover those last minute day trips and answer that all too familiar question of, what are we going to do today?”
