Getting started with OneHrAway

Set your home base, check your zip code is live, and find your first day out.

Getting started

OneHrAway is a directory of places you can reach in about an hour from home, plus a shared list your family votes on.

1. Check your zip code

We roll out zip code by zip code as the directory fills up. Enter your zip code when you first arrive. If we're not live near you yet, join the launch list and we'll email you the day your area opens.

2. Browse ideas

Open Ideas to see trip and activity guides grouped by theme — outdoors, rainy days, castles, water, little ones, date nights. Every guide is paired with real places from the directory.

3. Save what you like

Tap the heart on any place to save it to your own shortlist, or the + to push it straight onto your family list.

4. Get ideas weekly

You don't need a family to use OneHrAway. Sign up on your own and we'll email you a handful of ideas near you each week.
