A perfect tool for busy moms, Goby.com (pronounced GO-be) is a new one-of-the-kind search engine that helps you find fun new ways to spend your free time. It searches more than 300 different categories of “things to do” from zoos and aquariums to playgrounds and children’s museums.

Goby is simple to use it poses three questions: What, Where and When. By just answering two of the three questions, you can instantly receive an easy-to-read results page that includes not only detailed information about attractions, activities, locations and events, but also an interactive map and photos from sites like Google and Flickr. I spent some time playing on Goby and I found lots of things to do in my town. I found bike trails, museums and family events that would be a lot of fun for my family.

I’m looking for local offbeat attractions and found several “Round Barns” that actually aren’t, but also came up with The Grave of Johnny Appleseed
*Thanks* for the giveaway!

We have a boat so I used it to look up so fishing locations we could take our boat to.
I was looking for museums in our area & came up with a boatload of them. Many of them are relatively close to where I live & I didn’t even know they existed. Thanks!

I searched for Family fun in my hometown. It recommended the local science museum, and the Harlem globetrotter who are in town next week.

I found lots of fun things to do with my kids here where I live. This is a great site and I will be using it when we travel. We are in the airline business and will take our kids to random places. I am always looking for things to do that would make the trip fun for them. Thanks.
