Frequently Asked Questions
What You Would Like to Know
Here you can find essential information about transportation, age groups, tickets and the festival grounds that you may want to know before the festival.
Which age groups is the festival suitable for?
Istanbul Children's Festival has been prepared with different content for children between the ages of 0 and 15. A first festival experience, stroller access and comfortable mobility are planned for ages 0–2; games, mascots, stage activities and introductory workshops for ages 3–7; sports, discovery, tasks and experience areas for ages 8–11; and stage activities, social content and friend-oriented experiences for ages 12–15.
Is it necessary to purchase a ticket for both children and adults?
Yes. Every visitor aged 3 and over entering the festival grounds must have a valid ticket. If one adult and one child are attending together, the “1 adult + 1 child” package can be purchased. For participation with more people, a single-person ticket or a family package for 4 people can be chosen. Children aged 0–2 are free; however, a complimentary registration ticket must be obtained together with the accompanying adult's ticket.
Are tickets daily, or is there a two-day ticket option?
Separate daily tickets are available for Saturday and Sunday. Visitors who wish to attend both days of the festival can choose the combined ticket valid for September 19–20. The selected day and ticket type must be checked before purchasing a ticket.
Which activities can I attend with a single ticket?
Your ticket grants you access to the festival grounds for the selected day or under the combined ticket. Workshops, stage programs, sports, technology, games and brand experiences are offered as part of the festival program. Some activities may have age, session and capacity restrictions. Food and beverage purchases and services indicated as separately chargeable are not included in the ticket price.
Can I re-enter the festival grounds during the day?
Visitors will be given a wristband for verification upon first entry. Re-entry to the grounds during festival opening hours is planned, provided that the wristband is not damaged or removed.
Is there a fee to participate in the workshops?
Participation in the workshops and all activities within the festival is free of charge. Only food and beverages are charged.
