Hi Megan,
Is it possible, or worth considering, changing your fee structure so that it is a "combined fee"? (That is, so frugal/frustrated visitors can't tease out the "separate" child and adult charges …)
In my experience, your measured, logical, and nuanced discussions will fall on deaf ears, since many of these same folks feel like they shouldn't have to pay ANYTHING to go to a museum in the first place.
Good luck!
