Tf con for kids

Never been to one of these and thinking of attending for the first time with my 5 yr old.

Just wondering what there is for kids there? Besides checking out all the toys.

There are some people in costumes, I saw a lot of kids taking pictures with them last year.

Re: Tf con for kids

There's the customizing class, though parental guidance would be required since there may be sharp knives and paint involved. Although I don't know if there's a minimum age limit.

Panels are a good option too. I suggest the script reading, costume contest, and voice actor panels.

There's also usually movie screenings in the evening.

Once the official schedule is released for this year you'd have a better idea of what your youngling would be interested in. Until then, last year's schedule is up on tfcon.ca to give you an idea of what to expect.

Last year my son really enjoyed reviewing the artists work, meeting them and buying some of the posters...they also love going in the pool and water slides at the hotel!

Thanks for the feedback. I think we will go this year. Don't see the option to buy kids ticket online. Do they ever sell out of tickets st the door?

I don't think so. I've taken my son for the last 3 years with no issues, other than he says he's tired after 2 hours lol

Kids between 5 and 12 are $5 for each day. There is no charge for children under 5 years of age.

Thanks, we are getting pretty stoked for this event. I think he would enjoy the costume contest along with a few TF toys he hasn't seen in person... fort max, omega supreme, hot rod

this might be a dumb question but do people wear name tags?

I think pre reg attendees wear event badges. Years ago there was space on the badge to write your name but it was optional.

Also, a new event has been added for the kids: Transformers Ballooning!
I'm hoping your son will enjoy it.
