As you may or may not know, children under the age of 8 get into KantCon for free! To the end of making KantCon THE place to be for a weekend of family gaming entertainment, we have created the KantCon Kids’ Track!
The KantCon Kids’ Area is located on the northern wall of the atrium and will be running during the following times:
- Friday from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
- Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
- Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The obligatory disclaimer: We are not licensed child care professionals, and we are not responsible for the safety and supervision of your child. All children are to be accompanied by an adult or guardian for the duration of the Kids’ Track Events. To this end, we have added a “KantCon Kids’ Track Parent Badge” to our badge list that you can get at a discounted rate. These badges will allow a parent to participate in the Kids’ Track Events with their child. A one-day badge can be purchased now for $5, and a three-day badge can be purchased now for $12.50. On-site, the three-day badge price increases to $15.
