Arisia is just as much a convention for kids and teens as any other age group. Associated adults for these young fans should make sure to read our Youth Policies and Code of Conduct.

COVID Policies: While we recommend that children in Childcare make their best effort to wear masks and follow our convention-wide COVID policies, we recognize that this is sometimes difficult with younger children. Our professional childcare team will be wearing masks at all times when in convention spaces, including in Childcare. You can see our convention-wide COVID policies here.
Given the large number of families who come to Arisia, we are happy to be able to provide programming for our youngest fans. By prior registration, we provide supervised childcare for those too young to enjoy the convention on their own. All children using this service must have special Babysitting memberships to the convention. See the Babysitting page for more details.
