Are children upto a certain age free to enter?

[fireless]

My wife and son are coming this year. Obviously she and I are adults who need passes but he's only 4, it seems a bit silly to buy him a $600 ticket. Are kids free below a certain age? I can't find any policy on the website regarding this.

Children under the age of 8 will not need to purchase a badge.
