FamilyOuting Safety Planner
An AI planner that helps UK and US parents choose and prepare for days out at zoos, farms, wildlife parks and aquariums — flagging age-appropriate exhibits, animal-interaction risks, recent incident reports and on-site first-aid resources before you book.
UK and US parents planning a family day out at a zoo, farm park or wildlife attraction
- Pre-visit brief: animal enclosures by risk level (crocodiles, big cats, primates) with the attraction's own incident history
- Age-by-age exhibit recommendations so a 3-year-old and a 10-year-old both stay engaged
- Check-in timer with location sharing so families don't lose track of each other in sprawling parks
- Refund and emergency medical contacts cached offline for the specific venue

Core planner UI is straightforward to build, but curating per-attraction incident reports, age-appropriateness and first-aid coverage requires ongoing manual research and authority that attractions rarely publish, making the data layer the real cost.ZooMonitor - Evidence-Based Resources for Assessing Animal Welfare ↗
