Yes children are very welcome. ICSA is a fun filled family event designed for the whole family. There are wide isles which are perfect for navigating prams. There are lots of fun children's activities and exhibits including mini cookie and sugar modelling classes and face painting.  However children must remain with their parents at all times. There will be lots of amazing photo opportunities including the new huge sugar features.
