If you want to bring a pet, a child, or a friend to an activity, you should check with other participants first and don’t be disappointed if the answer is no.

A friend: any adult over age 18 should create their own free Meet5 profile and sign up for the event as an individual member.

A furry friend: in general, a well-behaved dog might be welcome at certain outdoor activities, such as a hike, but you should always ask to be sure. You never know who might have a fear of dogs and not be comfortable admitting it.

A child: there may be some activities a child could be welcome at, such as a baby in a carrier on a hike, but in general Meet5 is a platform for adults to make friends. Do keep in mind that members can create an activity specifically for parents and children to attend together, such as a “Parents Meet Up at the Playground” or “Dads and Tots go to a midday baby-friendly movie.”
