What's new
I've added some tips to various parts of the website to make it easier to use.
The activity pages have been completely revamped and now include facility information and a list of upcoming activities.
The today page now shows more helpful warnings about potential cancellations or time changes.
You can now find upcoming activities over the next week as a chronological timeline, which should be much easier to read on small screens.
You can now get a rough idea of where a facility is with the new region/area labels. See here for more info.
Star facilities to bring them to the top of the page and highlight them on the map.
Filter schedules with custom queries to build your own page with only the facilities and activities you care about.
