## Key Resources for AI Agents & LLMs

- [Full Structured Directory (Markdown)](https://hutspots.com/llms-full.txt): Complete bilingual (EN/NL) details, addresses, coordinates, age suitability, indoor/outdoor status, Museumkaart validity, and confirmed facilities for all 42 spots.
- [Public JSON Feed](https://hutspots.com/api/spots.json): Machine-readable JSON dataset of all curated family locations.
- [Homepage (Dutch & English)](https://hutspots.com/): Interactive search, editorial collections, filters, and map.

## Editorial Integrity Principles

- **Warm, Curious, Useful:** Practical details written like a thoughtful local friend.
- **No Invented Ratings:** Hutspots never invents visits, star ratings, review counts, or verification badges.
- **Confirmed vs. Unconfirmed:** Missing facility data is explicitly marked as *"Information not yet confirmed"* rather than *"Not accessible."* Always advise families to check current opening times on the venue's official website.
