Frequently Asked Questions
What is WonderDads?
WonderDads is the #1 membership for Dads.
We provide our amazing members with personalized activities and inspiration throughout the year, ideas for new Dad-Kids traditions, and unique and incredibly memorable ways to go above and beyond during each and every one of the childhood years.
Plus, we've got their backs with so many ways to be a prepared Dad, which is an ever-changing challenge given technology, social media and new safety concerns.
Being a Dad is hard, but it's the most important "job" we'll ever have. We are a new generation of Dads, and it's about time there was something just for us.
Why have so many Dads joined WonderDads?
1. Because 93% of Dad-Kids bonding happens by age 16…every year of childhood is so critical, and WonderDads helps in so many ways to embrace each and every year of childhood.
2. Because we all have lots of tools and resources for work, managing our finances, and even our social media accounts…it’s about time there was something specifically for Dads!
3. Because we all have lots of photos of our kids, but the magic often is often something funny they said or a story…both of which I can save in my WonderDads account, along with creating fun traditions like saving only my single best photo every month in my WonderDads Visual Timeline of the Childhood Years.
4. Because I don’t want to look back someday and wish I would have done more…by getting personalized ideas from WonderDads it makes it so much easier to plan fun and memorable things with the kids.
5. Because being a Dad is the most important and meaningful “job” I’ll ever have and I want to give it all I can.
How does WonderDads help with work-life balance?
1. We spend over 100 hours a month working to make a living, but being a Dad is probably the most important “job” we’ll ever have.
2. And it goes by really fast, in fact 93% of Dad-Kids bonding happens by age 16, it’s when we spend the bulk of our time together. But with busy work schedules, hectic home lives, and trying to find any personal time, it can feel like a struggle just to get by at times. But you don’t have to go it alone.
3. We’ve spent the last 10 years helping over 10,000 Dads be intentional about how they embrace each and every year of childhood...and we'd love to provide personalized ideas and inspiration for you!
4. If you don’t feel WonderDads is absolutely the most helpful resource you’ve ever had as a Dad, we’ll give you your money back no questions asked. There’s nothing to lose, and hopefully so many fun new Dad-Kids memories to be gained.
What is the best age to join WonderDads?
Whether you have a newborn or a 17-year old, we’ve got just what you need.
With a newborn or infant, it’s how to connect, what to know as a Dad, and starting off on the right foot.
With a toddler or school age child, it’s about doing fun things and establishing fun habits and traditions together while they still want to spend time with you.
With a teenager, it’s about life lessons to teach them, finding new ways to connect, and making the most of each and every year you have left.
Regardless of your stage, join WonderDads today and make the most of each and every year you have left…you only get 18 of them.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a private community for invited dads and their kids. Members participate in company experiences led by different dads and teams, along with Nationwide activities and all the other benefits of a WonderDads membership.
A dad, department or team shows the kids what they do through a behind-the-scenes tour, hands-on activity, demonstration, challenge or conversation. Every experience is designed to be understandable, interactive and as much fun as possible for the kids.
Definitely not. There are no long presentations or conference-room lectures. The kids may learn about different jobs, but the emphasis is on participating, exploring and having a great time with Dad.
That’s the goal. Different dads, teams and departments will have opportunities to share what they do. Some experiences may feature one dad. Others may bring together an entire team.
No. You can simply join and attend with your kids. If you would like to host a future experience, introduce us to an interesting team or help open a door at your company, we would love to hear from you—but it is never required.
WonderDads works with the participating company host to create the experience. We handle the organization, invitations, event information and reminders. You simply RSVP, show up and have fun with your kids.
No problem. We always provide directions for doing an activity on your own. Plus, there is a Nationwide WonderDads experience every month that you can participate in on the scheduled date or whenever it works for your family.
Yes. Local and company groups are invitation-based. Invitations may come from another dad, a local leader, your company, your child’s school or another community organization. If you weren’t invited, you can always join WonderDads Nationwide.
Membership is $20 per month or $160 per year—which gives you four months free. We guarantee it will be some of the most meaningful money you ever spend as a dad. If you don’t agree, let us know and we’ll refund you immediately.
Most experiences last approximately one hour.
No. Attend the experiences that work for your family. Some events may require advance registration because space is limited.
WonderDads is designed for dads with kids ages 0–16. Individual experiences may include recommended ages or activity-specific requirements. We’ll make those clear in every invitation.
Absolutely, yes. Your membership is designed for you and your kids. Some experiences may have age, safety or capacity restrictions, which will always be explained before registration.
Not necessarily. Many will take place at company offices, facilities or workspaces. Others may be virtual or held at an approved off-site location.
Every experience is coordinated with the participating host and appropriate company contacts. Only approved spaces and information will be included. Any security procedures, waivers, clothing requirements or safety instructions will be provided in advance.
You can still participate in the Nationwide experience, use the monthly activity directions and access all the ideas and resources included with your membership.
We’ll match you with your company group and send your welcome information, membership benefits and details about upcoming company and Nationwide experiences.
Lucky You. The Fun Starts Here.
Accept your invitation and give your kids something seriously fun to look forward to.

Exclusive Dad Resources
Being a Dad Is Hard.
You’re balancing work, family schedules, responsibilities at home and about a hundred things no one else even sees.
You want to make the childhood years count—but finding great ideas, making the plans and getting everything onto the calendar can feel like another job.
That’s where WonderDads helps.
WonderDads handles the thinking and planning—so you can show up, have fun and know you’re making these years count.
A BETTER KIND OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Bring Your Two Worlds Closer Together
To your kids, “Dad is at work” can feel pretty abstract.
But once they’ve seen where you work, met some of the people and experienced what your company actually does, they have a picture in their minds. Work becomes something they can understand—and something you can talk about together.
Visualize where you are during the day
Understand what your company does and why it matters
Become more curious about your work
Ask better, more meaningful questions
Feel more connected to an important part of your life
See you—and the other dads at your company—in a whole new way
These experiences help your kids:
Instead of simply asking, “How was work?” they might ask about the invention you’re building, the problem your team is solving or the people you’re helping.
Work-life balance isn’t only about spending less time at work. It’s also about helping the two most important parts of your life understand each other better.
Once a month, a different Dad or team from your company will show the kids what they do, how it works and why it matters—through behind-the-scenes tours, hands-on challenges, live demonstrations and unforgettable experiences.
