Some places aren’t appropriate for kids, and we wanted to know what you think are the top 15 places that are off-limits for children.
Beauty Pageants

“The horrors on the show Toddlers and Tiaras are enough evidence that these pageants are not safe for children.”
“Like, who thinks to themselves that they want to see a 7-year-old dressed inappropriately and that it’s ok?”
Bars

“The bar I work at, but people are shocked when they can’t bring their kids with them.”
“I pour wine in an upstairs tasting lounge, due to our liquor license children cannot be in areas where alcohol is being served.”
Movie Theaters

“I saw a screening of IT a few years back and multiple parents brought their kids in. The movie is not only loud, but it also has a clown eating children.”
“Find a different activity than putting your infant in a dark place with flashing lights and TOP TIER AUDIO SPEAKERS BLASTING MUSIC EXPLOSIONS AND GORE.”
“Why would you take your baby to a 3h+ movie? It’s bright, loud, and late.”
Strip Clubs

“I worked in a strip club years ago and some idiot brought in his toddler. He couldn’t figure out why he was kicked out.”
“He walked in, sat down, and had the kid sitting on his lap. He argued when we asked him to leave – I wish I knew his wife’s number. I’m sure she would have an opinion on him doing this.”
Social Media

“Even in 2023, some parents aren’t tech smart either, ‘My daughter isn’t allowed a phone until she’s older.’ Literally has an iPad with everything on [though] – my know-it-all aunt.”
“Give your kids a flip phone until they are adults.”
Casinos

“I work at a casino, kids are allowed to walk through the casino (with parents) to go to the restaurant. Blows my mind. Smoke filters can only do so much.”
The Strip

“Recently, I went to Vegas for my brother’s bachelor party. I was shocked at the amount of people carting their kids around on the strip well past midnight.”
Hospitals

“Children below a certain age should not be allowed to or expected to spend long hours visiting people in a hospice facility. It’s no fun for a kid and can be scarring.”
Hospices

“Screaming toddlers and badly behaved 10-year-olds with almost no connection to the patient have no business being there. People are there trying to die peacefully.”
Tattoo Studios

“Don’t bring your kid with you when you’re getting a tattoo, we’re not going to look after them and no, they can’t just sit in a corner with an iPad.”
“Yes!! Turned around to make a stencil the other day, and came back to the client’s kid reaching up to try to get into my sharps, mom on the phone, not even watching.”
Dog Parks

“The number of times I’ve seen parents bring their child no older than two into the LARGE dog park area…”
“Now I have to worry about my dog harming your kid because you want him to pet the fluffy doggies.”
“I stopped taking my dog for this reason. She was a very large lab puppy who didn’t develop brakes for a long time.”
Gyms

“Your little kid shouldn’t be near heavy weights or machines, even if you are right there. It only takes a second to break some bones.”
Private Stores

“I worked at one for years. The sign on the door said you must be 18 to enter. The number of people trying to bring their small kids in was too high.”
“Used to work at one. One day in the middle of July, a woman came in holding a baby. Told her, ‘Sorry, we can’t allow children in the store.’ She rolled her eyes, took the baby, and left it on the sidewalk.”
Weddings

“I love the sentiment of child-free weddings. They don’t even understand what’s happening and don’t need to be there.”
“Bunch of adults celebrating, drinking, carrying about, and oh, there’s little Susie dancing to Nicki Minaj’s ‘WAP,’ so cute, quick—pan away from the bride and look at how cute she is!”
Religion

“Children should not be indoctrinated into religion and/or religious acts/beliefs until they are able to think for themselves and can do so in a critical and objective manner.”
“Religion is the one thing in this world that is most responsible for the harm and othering of our fellow humans throughout history; kids don’t need to be growing up influenced by that.”
“If they choose to embrace and follow a religion when they’re able to do so with a clear mind and of their own free will, that’s perfectly fine.”
Comedy Shows

“I don’t care how mature you think your kid is. It just ruins the show. Everyone is stressed knowing there’s a kid there.”
