Find places worth exploring.
See what they choose to share.
Kin helps people discover places and public experiences from gardens, zoos, parks, campuses, museums, cultural institutions, and communities. It is free to use and has a clear job of its own: helping people find something worth experiencing.
Open Kin
Open the app.
Find somewhere to go.
Kin is organized around the visitor. Participating places can share routes, exhibits, collections, plants, stories, and location-aware interpretation without turning the app into an operations system or organizational workspace.
- 01Discover
Find participating places and public experiences worth exploring.
- 02Explore
Follow curated routes, exhibits, plants, stories, and points of interest.
- 03Return
Save discoveries and revisit places as their public experiences change.
Identify a tree.
Build your own forest.
Kin is not limited to curated destinations. Capture the trees around you, identify what you found, and save each one to My Forest. Your record stays available when you want to revisit a tree, remember where you found it, or share the discovery.
- 01Capture
Photograph a tree from one or more angles, or add it manually.
- 02Identify
Use Kin's identification result as a starting point and keep the tree's name with its record.
- 03Keep
Save the tree to My Forest so you can return to what you found.
A record of the trees you meet.
Visit living, findable trees to earn stamps in your Kin Passport. The passport turns exploration into a collection of real encounters, while protected or uncharted trees remain out of view.
Sponsor a Kin experience.
Help keep discovery free.
Organizations can support a place-based Kin experience or a curated story that helps people discover something worth seeing. Sponsors are acknowledged clearly, but they do not decide what people can explore, save, or earn.
