Babes in Arms Policy
Sydney Opera House’s Kids at the House program is designed to encourage access for younger audiences to the performing arts.

Children under twelve months of age (that is, babies who remain in their carers arms during a performance and do not participate in the event) are admitted free of charge to Babies Proms performances. For all other Kids at the House performances, children 2 years of age or older must have a ticket (even if the accompanying adult intends to sit the child on his/her knees.)
