A few years ago, Landis discovered a great “mommy blog” – that is, an online repository housing a very wide range of activities available in our region that appeal to families. We started posting our activities on that blog, KidsOutAndAbout.Com. Very soon thereafter, Fred Bregia, Executive Director, and Nancy Stuebner, Office Manager, began to notice an uptick in the numbers of families and children who came to enjoy the Arboretum. Then we became aware that not only young families, but people of all ages troll the activities posted in KidsOutAndAbout.com because the site does such a nice job of organizing posted activities. For example, each week the site sends an electronic newsletter to people who sign up. The website presents three spotlighted activities for four different types of families: the Walker Family's focus is on healthy activities, the Bravo Family is very interested in the arts, the Smart Family looks to find educational activities, and the Woods Family loves the great outdoors. We have been very pleased with the results of our postings on this website. Now imagine our surprise and excitement when we discovered that Landis placed 4th in the KidsOutAndAbout.Com survey to determine the 20 Best Places to Take Kids in New York’s Capital District! We encourage you to take a look at KidsOutAndAbout.Com, whether you are part of a young family with kids or just want access to a really good list of local activities. And remember: KidsOutAndAbout.Com has been a good friend to your favorite Arboretum!
