Claire,

Coming from a family of three children, I have noticed that most family
tickets in the uk seem to cover two children only. This seems very low
to me.

Another issue to consider is the maximum age a 'child' can be. Many
times as an unwaged student i visited museums/houses/gardens etc with my
parents and siblings to be told that i could not count as part of the
family! Perhaps it could be set up to include more than two adults? As
this situation would also apply to grandparents or aunts/uncles etc.

One final thought, what about discounts for groups of people who are not
in families?

best,
jane
