How It All Began

Hello and welcome to AroundTownKids, Allen, McKinney and Frisco's first kids event calendar and parent resource guide. The way this whole site got started is with our own experience in the spring of 2004. As a result, we wanted to make it easy for you as a busy mom or dad to find fun & interesting things to do with your children. 

Everyone's a busy parent today.  It can be time consuming and frustrating to keep up with all of the different lists, schedules and calendars. Originally for our own convenience, and now for yours, we compiled a list of all the fun kids events and kids activities in Allen for children ages 0 - 12.  We've done the work so you don't have to!

To make this a complete and helpful resource for you, we included an online business directory that includes kid-friendly businesses in Allen and beyond. If you are new to the area or a new mom, we hope you will find this especially helpful when you need to look for:

• Coupons - Save Money with our Online Printable Coupons for local Allen businesses
  
• Birthdays - Area Birthday Party locations, birthday party gifts, party entertainers and more!
  
• Doctors - A New doctor, dentist or healthcare professional
• Classes for kids - Art, Music, Fitness, Sports, Gymnastics, Drama, Education Entrichment and more
  
• Summer Camps - the first, original & complete ONLINE directory listing of all Allen summer camps
  
• Childcare - Babysitters, Mother's Day Out, Daycares
  
• Shopping for Kids - Retailers specializing in children’s shopping items, Hair Cuts, Photography
• Restaurants in Allen that offer meal deals for children - where kids eat free! 
• Family Entertainment, Amusement Parks, Theaters, Zoos, attractions, malls and more
• Baby - Baby clothes, baby shoes, Mommy & Me Classes, shopping and all your baby needs
  
• Schools - both public and private schools for Allen

In addition to the calendar for kids events in Allen and our Allen online business directory, we’ve added Fun Stuff for moms like Mom-on-the-Go and made Mom's life easier with a list of Dinners to Go.
