entrance fee (child)
The amount charged for admission to a usage zone under its child or young-person rate.
A children's admission fee is the amount of money charged to enter a usage zone when the person entering is below a certain age threshold. The cutoff may be very low or almost at adulthood, usually somewhere between 5 and 18 years of age. It is usually lower than the regular adult admission fee, and is often equal to or close to the senior admission fee.
An admission fee is quoted in a currency and applies to a particular time. A later price change does not alter the amount that applied earlier.
Eligibility can be set by venue policy or applicable law. Where a museum ends its child rate at 12 and another at 18, both are recorded as the child fee, so two values in the same field can describe different groups of people.
A reduced fee that requires proof, such as a student card or a disability card, is still the fee for that category. Whether a visitor can produce the proof is not part of what this field records.
