Children's Policy
CougarCon will be an action packed event and can be overwhelming for anime and gaming fans of all ages, including our youngest fans. We have a few guidelines and policies that will ensure your child's time at CougarCon will be awesome.
First and foremost - while we have done our best to make the event suitable for all ages, any children at the convention are no the direct responsibility of CSCC or CougarCon staff and volunteers. A parent or legal guardian must accompany any and all children under the age of 12 at all times. No Exceptions.
For children 10 and under, a free badge will be given with the purchase of a regular badge. Children with a child badge will NOT be admitted to any rooms or events without an accompanying adult.
Be sure you select a 10 yrs. old or younger add-on ticket so that your younger friends get their own CougarCon name badge!
Please note that parking is FREE, despite new parking zone signs in the lots. You do NOT have to pay for parking or use that app.
