I agree with you all, it makes me want to take my child into the clubhouse or hotel bar and buy them a pint and see what they say then , would it be "sorry your child is under age in which case you should only pay the child price for the room or whatever...............well we could go on and on could'nt we

Oooh, this makes me mad too. It's not as if they are earning at 14 and contributing to the household (well mine aren't anyway). It's just another excuse to fleece parents, in my opinion.
I often think parents with children should be charged less when you go places like theme parks and days out, because we never get to see everything and make the most of the facilities.
makes me mad too i don't have the problem now though kids are adults now but when we went to one camp site we had to pay child price for our 3month old granddaughter now can anyone tell me what facilites a 3 month old baby can use

Life's to short make the most of everyday
And has anyone noticed that a while ago a family ticket for a lot of places used to be 2 adults and upto 3 children and now its 2 adult and 2 children.
The main one i use is £16 a night for pitch and 2 adults, under 10 is free 10-14 is £1 over 14 is £2 which for a weekend it is still a lot cheaper that a B&B for the 5 of us
Charging adult prices on camp sites (and other places where there are no extra facilities other than bars!) before kids are 18 makes me mad, but I can see why places like Disneyland charge 'adult' prices from (for example) 12 - restrictions on the rides are mostly height-related and by 12 the vast majority of children are tall enought to ride them all. Last time I went to Flamingo Land, they charged admission depending on height, not age!!
Disneyland - adult at 12 yrs old - my lad was 13 when we went, the lass at the counter of the Disney Store wasn't at all amused when I said he'llbe getting the first round in when we get there. I couldn't understand her displeasure?
Lets work backwards, adult at 40 to get cheap car and bike insurance, (used to be 25......) adult at 21 to drive an ambulance, 18 to vote, 17 to drive, 16 for a moped, 14 for adult fare on the buses, trains etc, gawd knows for campsites. Seems as though if you're shelling out money the age gets lower........no surprise there then !!!!
