Grassy Knees Research

Data stories on what families can do with kids in U.S. cities: what’s free, who runs it and what it costs. We count from organizers’ own public calendars and price pages, publish the method with every story, and keep the script that reproduces the numbers. Writers are welcome to use the figures with credit to Grassy Knees.

• Dallas’s free kids’ calendar runs through the library

  Dallas Public Library has 526 free events for children, teens and families in November 2026 across 30 locations, spread evenly across rich and poor neighborhoods. A day at the city’s paid family attractions costs a family of four $87 to $120.
