We do not have such a rule.
Pre-schoolers are admitted without charge and are generally kept in =
check by the adults.
There have been exceptions.
A picture was ripped off the wall and the glass broken on one occasion, =
fortunately without injury.
On another visit a child knocked a precious plate off the wall [in it's =
holder] and it broke.
The parents in either case did not offer any compensation.
On one school tour damage was so severe that the teacher made the class =
make some benches in shop class which they sold and then turned the =
money over to us to repair spinning wheels etc.
This class did not return.
It is these 'supervised' children that are the greatest problem
Of course, we do not have enough bodies to supervise the children as =
they wander through the site.
