find_kids_events — Find kids events
Search upcoming family and kids events near a US city on KidsEventsThisWeek.com: library story times, museum days, camps, festivals, church kids programs and more. Useful for finding what to do with children this week, this weekend or on a given day. Takes a city and state, or a 5-digit US ZIP code (if both are given the ZIP is used; a ZIP is matched to the nearest city we cover). Returns at most 10 events, closest to the city first (0-5 miles, then 5-15, then farther) and soonest first within each distance, spread across the requested days, each with the date, start time, venue, price (free or paid), age range when known, a one-line summary and a link to the event page. Dates default to the next 7 days and the window never exceeds 31 days. Only events that start inside the window are returned.
