We started The Happ because finding great things to do with kids shouldn't be a chore. One place to look, sorted by your kids' ages, your distance, and your budget — free stuff very much included. Updated every day.
Hi, I'm Aimee — a Twin Cities mom and the founder of The Happ.
I built this app because I kept asking the same question every weekend: "What should we do today?" And I kept spending an hour sifting through Facebook groups, outdated websites, and mom forums to find something age-appropriate, affordable, and actually nearby.
There had to be a better way.
The Happ puts everything in one place and into your hand — kids eat free restaurant deals, family events & activities, parks & playgrounds, and local volunteer opportunities — filtered by where you are, how old your kids are, and how much you want to spend (including free).
Community has been the whole point since day one, and giving back is part of that. Today The Happ is free and doesn't earn anything yet -- so it has nothing to give away. When that changes, a share goes to organizations serving Twin Cities families and children. Helping families find joy in their city ought to help strengthen it too.
Want to be one of our Founding Families? Sign up at thehapp.app — and help us build something your community will be proud of. 🌟
Every event, deal, and recommendation we share is picked with families in mind, and relevant to where you are and what you want to spend — surfacing a menu of opportunities so you're always in-the-know.
We believe that getting your kids out and about makes for a better world — fostering curiosity, connection, and the engaged citizens our communities need.
We're local through and through. Minneapolis, St. Paul, and every suburb in between — we know these streets and we love this community. And as we grow, we're expanding to new locations across Minnesota, bringing The Happ to even more families statewide and increasing accessibility and ways to engage.
We're actively working to build partnerships with organizations that serve Twin Cities families and children. We believe that helping families find joy in their community should also help strengthen it.
Have ideas, feedback, or just want to say hi? We'd love to hear from you.
