It is important to us and the future of fandom that we involve our children in the multifaceted worlds of science fiction and fantasy. To that end, we encourage parents to bring children of all ages to the convention and its events.

Children 0-6 may attend MileHiCon free but must be with a parent at all times. Children 7-11 are half price but must have a parent in close proximity. Teens 12 and 17, pay full price and may attend the convention unaccompanied by a parent. However, if adult activities or programs are in progress they may be asked to leave the room by a staff member.

Because of the lack of demand for baby sitting services in the past and a lack of dependable professional help that we feel comfortable leaving children with, MileHiCon will not offer baby sitting services. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. You may want to check with hotel registration for babysitting services.

Please monitor your child's experience - some programs at MileHiCon cover adult-topic material. MileHiCon makes every attempt to schedule adult-topic programming in the late night hours, but this may not be possible at all times.

We want to remind parents that they are responsible for their children at all times. If a child wanders away, please check with Operations. If your child is left unattended and a staff member observes a child misbehaving to the point of endangering self or others, destroying hotel property or disrupting programming, the child's membership badge will be confiscated. The child will be taken to Operations until a parent can be located and informed of the situation. Upon the third offense, both the child's and parent’s membership will be revoked, and the parent will be asked to remove the child and themselves from convention areas.

Please have your child stay close to you when in public areas of the hotel, as it is often hard to distinguish that the parent is at hand and the child is not lost. If parents believe that their convention activities will be constrained too much by the required monitoring of their children’s activities, they are encouraged to arrange for proper childcare at home.
