At what age? Cinema

[DublinLaLaLa]

Child A (5y) and parent want to see film 1 and child B and C (both same age but NOT FIVE!) want to see film 2.

At what age would you let child B and C go together to see a film without you, assuming:

• You are in the same cinema complex in a film with child A
• It’s the early showing (10am ish)
• Both films go in/let out about the same time
• Both children have been to the complex before and know your screen no. and where toilets are
• Both children are sensible rule followers
• Neither child has a phone
• The film is age appropriate

12/First year at secondary school

I would do the same. My 10yo has just finished y5.

Around 10?

When I worked in a cinema the cut of was 8. Didn’t stop parents leaving younger children though

10 as you are also in the building.

Year 7 for actually going with friends where they are dropped off.

Definitely 11, maybe 9 or 10.

Its going to be families at that time of the morning and so unless they need the toilet then all they’ll do it sit there.

I would meet them outside of the screen door though and not in the lobby.

8 or 9.

Sensible 8. Provided they knew where you were and what to do in an emergency. Might even be tempted to give them a spare phone (eg if you have a work phone keep that and give them your phone)

I’d say 8 up. Assuming they are sensible and won’t muck about and ruin the film for others.

8 if the are sensible.

10/11

About 9. Although maybe if the oldest is 11 and youngest 8 and they we're sensible children.

Theres nothing simple about that OP! Honestly could have just asked “At what age would you be comfortable to let two kids go to the cinema alone”?

About 10/11 same age as I let mine be in the shopping mall not with me
