Kennedy center requires tickets for infants!

In all the times I went to big ticket items at the KC I never saw an infant and didn't see young kids.

That's standard for classical venues, OP.

Nobody wants you to take your baby to a performance. So many options out there that don’t include disrupting performances, choose one of those.

PP, this thread is from 2016. Were there toddler shows at KC at that time? Do you seriously think the OP was taking their infant to a toddler show? And 1.5 yrs old is waaay different than the 10 wk old in the OP. Who is now eight.

Please get a babysitter. It's rude when I paid for a sitter but then had to hear a crying child at an adult venue. Not the place.

Wow. In 2025? Really?

You are a pathetically misinformed person. Nobody wants to sit next to you while you're so stupidly judgmental.

STAY HOME!

I am not the PP, and I'm a big advocate for breastfeeding anywhere the child is welcome. I've breastfed at church, and funerals, and on airplanes, and at my kid's school performance.

But breastfeeding is not silent, and any kid young enough to be breastfeeding is not guaranteed to stay quiet. An expensive adult performance is not the place for an infant, breastfeeding or not.

Seriously you are nothing but sub human garbage
Your child needs to be taken away

Yikes that post is more than eight years old. Maybe you need to be taken away.

I think it’s ok to bring your infants to the KC now. Along with your dogs, cats, pet rats and anything else you feel like bringing along. It’s in the same category as Chucky Cheese now.

Yes there were family performances back in 2016. I attended them with my kids. There were toddlers at the performances.

I agree with you! Before I realized that this was an 8 year old thread, I was thinking, "Wait, what?! Artists are cancelling their Kennedy Center performances and moving them elsewhere, and you want to not only go, but bring your little baby?!"

I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one thinking it.

I would assume babies were welcome? Do you think the play OP was taking her 10wk old baby to was a toddler show? Do you think she would have mentioned that in her post?
