Welcome to our annual Best of Bay Area Parent ballot!
Join with other parents to highlight what makes the Bay Area such a vibrant place to raise your family. Vote for your family favorites in categories ranging from museums to martial arts instruction, day camp to dance class, and many more. Voting is quick, easy, and lots of fun, and you’ll automatically be entered into a drawing for four Exploratorium tickets!
There are two voting phases – nominations and finals. The nomination phase ended on Sunday, April 6. Now, the top 3-5 businesses (excluding ties) in each category have qualified to move forward to the final voting round, which begins on Tuesday, April 15, and runs through Sunday, May 11.
Votes will be tallied for each category and the top businesses and organizations will be published in our Best of Bay Area Parent 2025 issue and on our website in late July.
Before you begin, please note:
- You must be 13 years or older and provide a valid email address to participate.
- You are limited to one vote per category in the final voting phase.
- Please vote in as many categories as possible. We recommend 10. It’s fun to share your favorites with other parents!
- Ballot stuffing, including robo-voting or automated script, will void the submitted nominations.
We reserve the right to disqualify votes that do not meet these requirements.
Voting closes at midnight on Sunday, May 11, so don’t miss this opportunity to make your vote count!
