Museum Pass Question for Adults and Children

I understand that most monuments and museums are free to those under 18 years of age and that having the MP permits you to %26quot;skip the line%26quot; for most attractions.

Let%26#39;s assume that an adult has the MP. The adult is accompanying a dozen 17-year olds without the MP. Can they all skip the line?

|||

Yes. My 16 year old shipped the line at most places with us. I just told them his age in Franch and they let us bypass at Rodin, Musee D%26#39;Orsay, the l%26#39;Orangerie etc. A few places required him to get a separate admittance ticket which was free.

|||

That should be skipped

|||

In theory that should be true....BUT...if you are clearly %26#39;leading%26#39; a %26#39;tour group%26#39;, entrance attendants/guards at any of these participating institutions MAY well require %26#39;proof-of-age%26#39; or student IDs from %26#39;group%26#39; participants and direct you to someone else who will check those %26#39;proofs%26#39;. With this in mind, it would behoove you to make CERTAIN that those in your %26#39;group%26#39; all have the appropriate

%26#39;proofs%26#39; readily available to present, if required. More often than not a photocopy of the Information page of a passport or student ID card will suffice.

|||

Of course, everyone would be carrying a copy of their passport.

Yeah, sure...of course. What was I thinkin%26#39;??....and %26#39;..the check is in the mail..%26#39; and %26#39;..of course, I%26#39;ll respect you in the morning..%26#39;.

|||

Of course they would all have copies of their passports, but GROUPS have to pay. Even the local eight year olds who go on class field trips have to have a ticket.

|||

Well, then, what is a group?

If I take my daughter and her four friends, is that a group? How about a 19 year old and 8 of her 17 year old friends? Is that a group? How about a teacher and 6 students?

If you%26#39;re trying to find out %26#39;..how many angels are allowed to sing on the head of a pin..%26#39; you%26#39;ll have to ask the archangels. The opinions of individual archangels (a bit like individual museum entrance atttendants/guards) may have different interpretations of who is seraphim and who is cherubim and who of how many singing angels constitute a choir.

|||

The Louvre has ample information on the subject for professionals. I suggest you ask them directly.

Guys, if you don%26#39;t know the answer, it%26#39;s OK to just ignore the question. I don%26#39;t know what you%26#39;re trying to do with the last 2 responses.
