In the description of places, we have included pictures and descriptions important for parents to understand. - 2-6 photos with views important to parents showing precisely what the children's entertainment looks like. - A specific list of activities that parents and children expect. For example, what kind of games are set up in the playground in a family restaurant - Information on prices and how long you can spend - The fun level for parents and kids.

Anastasia Kokonina
I wanted to go somewhere interesting. I went to the Museums tab and right in our area I found a wonderful science museum with free master classes for children. I didn't even know there was something like this around us.

We are planning a family relocation to Istanbul. With the Mapki map, I explore potential areas for living - with more children's activities. I took a closer look at Kadikoy, Besiktas, and Maltepe:)

We wanted to go to the playground to play, it was raining. I looked at the section of Mapki - indoor entertainment. I found so many other amusement centers. There is also a very useful section with restaurants in children's areas.
EXPERIENCE BEHIND MAPKI
WE ARE
My name is Masha, my son Alex was born 7 years ago and we constantly travel 🇺🇦🇦🇪🇭🇰🇪🇬🇱🇰🇮🇱🇬🇷🇹🇭🇲🇾🇮🇩🇬🇪🇹🇷. Therefore, I understand well how to spend quality time with children or get a minute for myself.
A year ago I moved to Istanbul. This metropolis is not the most kid-friendly place on the planet. I created surveys in groups, conducted research in media, maps, and guides, compared reviews, and found 1000 & 1 places to walk around Istanbul with children.
Now we are sharing this useful tool with you. Feel free to use our maps at no cost, or contribute an amount of your choice to support our efforts. We're currently hard at work on the development of our mobile apps.
