Information on the card tells you what’s unique about that spot, how to get active there, and nearby attractions also worthwhile. From trail distances and terrains to inclines, stairs, and whether your furry friend can join you, too – we’ve got you covered!

The deck is tailored to fit any skill level. Go on an easy stroll or challenge yourself with more difficult trails. There's something for everyone!

In many cases, yes—you can find pieces of it online. The challenge is finding all of it. We've done the work of sorting through hundreds of options, so you don't have to. Instead of spending hours searching websites, blogs, reviews, maps, and social media, you can simply pull a card and go.

Think of The GO Deck as a trusted local friend who has already done the research for you.

Each deck contains 52 carefully selected destinations researched and written by local contributors who visit (sometimes on multiple occasions) to gather insights. They share firsthand insights, tips, and details that often aren't available in a single online source—and sometimes aren't available online at all.

Whether you're new to an area or have lived there for years, our goal is to make discovering great outdoor experiences easier, faster, and more enjoyable.

Nearly all featured locations are free to visit and do not require an admission fee. In other words, simply visiting most featured sites and walking around will cost you nothing. If there is a parking fee for personal vehicles, we note that on the card, and if the location does have an admission fee, it's indicated on the legend (for city decks where not all sites are free-to-visit).

As for activity costs, well, that depends on you. We may mention that a location is ideal for inline skating, surfing, kayaking, etc... If you want to do that activity but do not possess the necessary equipment, you would have to either rent or purchase it.

In the Explore More section of a card, we may highlight an attraction that requires an admission fee.

Yes, after placing your order in the cart, click the option to "Make it a gift." You will then have the ability to write a gift message, which we will put on a card to be included with the shipment.

Please check the shipping address before placing your order to ensure it reflects your gift recipient's address and not your billing address.

We recently updated our checkout security measures to better protect our customers and our small business from fraudulent orders and chargeback abuse.

Because of these changes, some customers may notice:

• Payment declines that didn’t happen before
• Requests to confirm billing information
• Extra authentication through their bank or credit card provider

We know this can occasionally feel frustrating, and we truly appreciate your patience.

As a small business, fraudulent chargebacks can have a significant impact through lost products, shipping costs, and financial penalties. These added protections help reduce those losses so we can continue offering our products at fair and reasonable prices instead of passing increased costs on to customers.

If your payment isn’t going through:

• Double-check that your billing address matches your card exactly
• Try using Shop Pay, PayPal, Apple Pay, or another payment method
• Contact your bank or card provider, as they may be blocking the transaction
• Reach out to us directly—we’re happy to help troubleshoot

Thank you for supporting a small business. We truly appreciate your understanding and support.

Chicago, Los Angeles, and Pittsburgh will arrive in late 2026 or early 2027. Miami and the Florida Keys are slated for late 2027.
