Make your business a host location for a scavenger hunt
If you’d like hundreds of families with children to walk in the door of your downtown location, our scavenger hunts are perfect.

If you don’t have a downtown location, talk to us about setting up a “satellite” location downtown for the afternoon.
Take advantage of sponsorship opportunities at events
All members get special pricing for any of our events, promotions and advertising opportunities.

Our smallest events draw hundreds of local families downtown, and our largest attracted thousands of locals in one afternoon. This is targeted, direct marketing, offered to members at an incredible price. Put your message in front of your community on a brochure, coupon, mug, banner, or sign at an NBA event, or use your imagination for a unique idea.
