[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]National Gallery's policy is officially 12 (https://www.nga.gov/visit/visitor-policies.html) to visit alone. However, I once sent my 12 year old there - we live within walking distance - and the guards wouldn't let him in, saying incorrectly that he had to be 13. But if you're actually in the building, I can't imagine that a well-behaved 10 or 11 year old would have any problems. At the worst, if a staffer asked, he'd just walk back and find you. I don't know if the Smithsonian has an official policy, but I think similar ages should apply. [/quote] +1 I think they need to have a blanket age policy based on an average maturity. There are a lot of statues that can easily top over and priceless artwork that can be damaged if you have rowdy kids. It’s sweet that your child loves the museum so much but they want to go by themselves![/quote]
