Frequently asked questions
What is Gensa and how do I find things to do with my kids this weekend?
Gensa is a family lifestyle platform with editor-curated events, local services, parenting news, and neighborhood guides. Browse weekend events by city, by age group , or neighborhoods to give you recommendations for your family.
What cities does Gensa cover — is it available where I live?
Gensa currently covers Brooklyn and is expanding city by city. Each city has dedicated editorial coverage — local events, neighborhood news, and curated business listings written by editors who know the area. New cities launch with full editorial and local business onboarding. Check our homepage for current coverage.
Is Gensa free to use, or is there a paid subscription?
Gensa is completely free for parents. Browse events, read articles, and search local services — all without an account. Gensa is funded by local businesses who list their services to reach families like yours.
How does Gensa decide which events and businesses to recommend — are listings paid or curated?
Every listing and every event on Gensa is reviewed by our editorial team before it goes live. Sponsored articles and social posts are always clearly labeled. Editorial recommendations in non-sponsored articles are always independent and never paid-for.
Does Gensa work for all ages of kids, or is it just for babies and toddlers?
Gensa covers families with kids of all ages — babies through teens. Events and services are tagged by age group so you can filter for exactly what fits your family. We publish a dedicated monthly tweens and teens guide because we know most family platforms stop at age 8. We don't.
How is Gensa different from just searching Google or my neighborhood Facebook group?
Google gives you national chains and SEO-optimized results. Facebook groups give you opinions without verification. Gensa gives you editor-curated, neighborhood-specific information — verified local businesses, events with real details (ages, cost), and news written by editors who live in your community. It's the difference between searching and trusting.
