Family-Friendly Arisia

Hello everyone!

I am making a handout for people interested in the family-friendly side of Arisia. I'll be listing the events and programs that aren't already covered by Fast Track, as well as some dos and don't s.

I'm looking for any input from panelists/event hosts that would like me to include their item on the flyer. So far, I'll be listing the Geeky Play Dates, the Geeky Belly Dance, and Drum Circle.

What I am looking for are things parents/guardians can do with their kids. I'm not looking for things that little ones are dropped off at.


All suggestions welcome!

I would suggest some info on toy weapons. In the past I have sent several kids to Security to have their toys "peace bonded" or otherwise made to conform to Arisia Security standards.

There is lots of cosplay at Arisia by both adults and kids, and the kids and parents need to understand that their toys count in this category. We all want to have fun in a safe manner.
