We introduced a small charge for the youngest children of $1/year for 3 and
under. I know of no complaints and parents generally see it as a discount.

Hi All,

We are starting to make a significant investment in exhibitions and programs
for children under the age of 5 often involving increased staffing costs
etc.

Currently this age group is free entry into the Museum.

We are thinking of dropping the age of entry down from 5 and under to 3 and
under.

I was wondering if any other museums/science centres have done a similar
thing and if this had any major impact?

Cheers

Michael
