Esteemed Museum Colleagues,

Do you have written policies governing whether children are allowed to enter your facility without adults?  What ages are governed?  Please share policies if you have them or share thoughts if you don't.  Thanks in advance!  (I don't mean planned programs like museum schools or summer camps--I mean general admission).
