Q: What sort of membership should I purchase for my child?
A: Kid-In-Tow are no-cost memberships for when your child will be in the presence of a responsible adult with their own membership at all time.

Turtle Track (formerly Childcare or Babysitting) is for children between the ages of 2-6 who will be partaking in babysitting services while at the convention. These memberships follow the "full rate" cost structure. More information on Turtle Track.

Children ages 6-8 can register as a Kid-In-Tow as above. If the parents of a child in this age group wishes to have their child attend FastTrack activities, they will need to be registered with a FastTrack membership type.

Children ages 9-12 can register as a Kid-In-Tow as above. If the parents of a child in this age group wishes to have their child attend FastTrack activities OR will allow them to roam the convention on their own, the child needs to be registered with a FastTrack membership.
