Families can absolutely visit, but this is not a passive sightseeing stop. Preparation matters.

Recommended by age

Under 10: very selective visit, short duration.
10 to 13: focused route with frequent pauses.
14+: fuller visit with guided discussion.

Pre-visit family agreement

We ask questions respectfully.
We do not joke in memorial contexts.
We can step out if someone feels overwhelmed.

Teen engagement prompts

Prompt	Why it works
Which room felt most real to you?	Builds emotional literacy
Which object changed your understanding?	Encourages evidence-based thinking
What choices did people actually have?	Introduces moral complexity

Parent pacing strategy

Start with context rooms.
Skip noisiest rush periods.
End with a short debrief over food.

Better one thoughtful hour than two rushed and disconnected hours.
