on bringing children...
Should I?
Depends how feral they are. If they are at least mildly civilized they’ll be thoroughly entertained and will remain undevoured.
Are they free?
So you decided to take the plunge and make a new generation of cool kids. Nice. 10 and under are free.
Do a lot of kids go?
A lot.
I've heard this is wholesome. But is it?
As you can see from the above questions, people proudly bring their children. Without getting into a philosophical argument about subjectivity and moral outrage, this is generally a wholesome and safe event. People are friendly, loving, inclusive, and peaceful. But it isn't sanitized. The map might say "Long-Ass Road" and our schedule includes active and participatory spellwork and we do not censor adult vendor products (though most are fine art and not overt). We occasionally sell a drink that looks like blood in a bag. But it's non-alcoholic, as are all our potions. And while there is absolutely nothing inherently dangerous to encounter, we're likely always going to walk a line of "propriety." And maybe, as a result, pioneer a whole new unapologetic version of unsanitized wholesome.
It is up to you and your parenting style to decide what you personally find objectionable and what is best for your own children.
Our children attend.
