I ask for advice. This will be the first year that the rest of my family attends with me. One young member of the family will be completely interested in this room, so I plan to buy a 3-day weekend pass. (Which 3 days are covered, by the way?) The other 3 of us won't want to spend as much time there, but one of us will have to accompany the interested child. Should we buy 4 weekend passes? Can we buy 2 and swap them when the chaperone role changes?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
To answer the last question, you can't swap the passes. They give you a ribbon which you stick on your badge and show to them whenever you come in. They see the ribbon, you're good.
What you do depends on how long your child will be in there. If it's only going to be for an hour or two at times, then I would say generics are the way to go. They do accept walk-ups and generics, and despite it not being listed on the events (why escapes me), there are hourly passes for the console room. Just walk up, hand over $12 in generics, and you're good. If your child is going to be there for long periods, then getting an all-con pass would be the way to go, if for nothing else other than convenience. Also, this isn't listed in the event, but proceeds are for charity. Video Game Palooza is hosting these rooms to generate proceeds for providing STEM programs for children and adults of all ages, genders, and races, so if that's a cause you feel worthy of your money, then buying a weekend pass will go towards that.
And to reiterate what mark_a said, it's good for all four days. The three days is a typo.
