We have a suggested donation of $5 for adults, $2.50 for children, students
and senior citizens and $10 as a family maximum.  We also ask $1 per person
for school tours.  I suppose at some point two adults with a whole bunch of
children looks more like a school tour than a family, but we are not
planning to ask for identification.  I'd rather have a few people "abuse"
the system than have one parent sit in the car while the other comes in with
the kids, because they can't afford the admission for everybody (and THAT
has happened in the past).

Subject: Set price for Family admission - policy on how many children?

>Some museums don't specify an upper limit on the number of children -

>interested to hear from others who use a family admission price if they do
>or don't have a quota on how many children can be part of the family price.
