After we had a family admission in place for about a year, we found it
necessary to define a family as two adults and up to three children under
12.  Our other rates were $2 per adult and $1 per child under 12.  We had
quite a few adult groups of five or six come in the door, look at the fees
and ask each other "we're a family aren't we?"  One time, a party of 19
attending a family reunion insisted on paying one family admission.
