Let’s face it road trips with kids can be magical one minute and meltdown central the next. Whether it’s a desperate need for a toilet, a bored toddler, or a hungry partner who just spotted a fast food sign 30 miles too late, we’ve all been there. That’s exactly why we built Make My Drive Fun a free, easy to use tool that helps you find toilets, picnic spots, attractions, and family friendly stops right along your route.

Designed with travelling families in mind, this tool works on any browser and doesn’t need an app or login. Just type in your start point, and optionally an end point, and it’ll show you what’s available nearby. You can filter by categories like toilets, playgrounds, scenic stops, and quirky attractions – perfect for long drives with kids, pets, or impatient grown-ups. You can even choose how far off your route you’re willing to detour.

Real Life Use Case

While driving across Europe earlier this year, we found ourselves caught short with two kids in the back and nowhere obvious to stop. Google Maps was useless. But using our tool, we found a rest stop with clean bathrooms and a playground less than 2km off the motorway. It turned a potential disaster into one of our favourite spontaneous memories. That’s the power of this tool it turns “we need to stop!” into “I’m glad we stopped!”
