Faqs

What is the recommended age for children attending the Wanwan Festival?

The show is specifically designed for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children who enjoy the “Inai Inai Baa!” program. While there is no strict age limit, the music and interactive elements are most engaging for children between the ages of 0 and 4.

Are there facilities for strollers and diaper changes at the venues?

Yes, all participating venues are chosen for their family-friendly facilities, typically offering designated stroller parking areas and accessible nursing rooms. We recommend arriving early to navigate these areas, as they can become quite busy shortly before the doors open.

Do I need to buy a separate ticket for a baby who will sit on my lap?

Ticketing policies for children can vary by specific tour leg, but generally, tickets are required for all attendees. For this event, children aged 3 and up require their own seat and ticket, while younger children may have specific lap-seating rules that our team can verify.

Can I take photos or videos of the performance on my phone?

Photography and video recording of the stage performance are strictly prohibited during the show to ensure the safety of the performers and the enjoyment of others. However, there are often commemorative photo spots located in the venue lobby for families to use.

How long does the Wanwan Festival stage show typically last?

The performance usually runs for approximately 60 minutes without an intermission. This duration is carefully planned to match the attention span of young children, ensuring they stay entertained and happy from the opening song until the final curtain call.
