Fast Track : Arisia’s Con-Within-A-Con for Kids!

Arisia's Kids' program, known as Fast Track, is designed as a con-within-a-con for kids aged 6 - 12. We offer a wide variety of program items, including crafts, costuming, a magic show, science, exercises, discussions, demonstrations, storytelling, and games. Please see the program listing for all Fast Track specific programming. A printout of all Fast Track programming, including a programming grid specific to Fast Track, will be available at the front desk of Fast Track during the con.

Fast Track is not child care and cannot provide snacks and meals. Arrangements must be made to feed your children. No food is allowed into the Fast Track area for safety concerns.

Guardians - you are responsible for picking up your child by the time Fast Track closes. Children with a red-ribbon may only be picked up by an adult listed on the release form. Children not picked up within a ½ hour of Fast Track’s closing will result in the child brought to Security to follow procedure to ensure the safety of the child. Repeat offenses of not picking up your child on time will result in the revocation of the child’s Fast Track membership to be replaced with a Kid-in-Tow membership.

Fast Track Memberships
