How we classify destinations

Every destination is run through a 200-line rubric that picks a curriculum-first category, infers a typical age range, and decides whether the venue works for a small homeschool group. Markers, plaques, and single-exhibit sub-features are deliberately hidden so families don’t drive an hour for a placard.
