| Would you take your kids (if so, what ages) to Burning Man? |

Not until college. Too many naked old guys there. I went many times in my misspent youth and once this old guy - like 60 - was “gratifying himself” behind me in line for food.

| There are plenty of kids there, but it's a harsh environment (out in the desert and so on). I'd only do it if I'd been there without them before and knew all the details of what to expect and how to handle kids. |

| It’s cancelled again this year. And no! Absolutely I would not let my kids go. I’ve been a couple times and it’s adults only. |

| No way! It’s too primitive and brutal. I’ve felt so sorry for the kids I’ve seen there - they look sick and miserable. |

| Never. And, I take mine to tons of concerts (pre-covid). Lots of drugs, alcohol, primitive, etc. |

| Absolutely not! Have you ever been, OP? It’s like 100 degrees and no showers. Clothing is optional. Even in the fancy campers, it’s rough going. |

No. Even if just because of the dust and weather factors.
But also, please don't ruin it for the other adults who pay a shit ton of money and are dedicated to this. Your kid can wait until they can make the decision to go on their own. |

I've been. I don't see ever taking my kids. Maybe when I first went many years ago, but I would have wanted them to stay very close to our own camp, and only explored the art works with me, not gone off on their own. Which would be a pretty limited experience.
And it's so much bigger now, with so much money and tech-bro types. I just don't see doing it with kids at all. |

| Not until 15 or 16, though none of us have any interest. Clothing optional people don't bother us. |

Not even old clothing optional people? It’s a good way to explain the effects of gravity on the human body, I suppose. Just watch where you step. |

A naked body is a naked body. What is the difference between an old and young one? |
