anyone been in it? What’s the entertainment for the kids like? What type of stuff?

Considering going in there for the Sunderland game with my lad.

He is football mad and he’s been twice this season (Fulham and Forest) and sat in the south upper. Loved it and watched the whole game no problem (he turns 3 next month).

My concern is he goes in the family stand, sees all this entertainment and then loses interest next time we’re in the south upper haha. Just wants to run around looking for big cuddly mascots and stuff.

So do I keep on the current road which seems to be working or mix it up 😅😅

I've only been in the family stand, personally - will be my third time this Saturday.

I've had a wander round the other concourses on the tour, though, and to be honest it doesn't feel much different.

I wouldn't say much or anything about it is particularly setup for kids... It's just a segregated concourse. 🤷‍♂️

Might be different now it's Christmas, I'm not sure.
 
I went in v palace and didn't notice anything specific to kids but I was towards the corner west stand and every time everton crossed the half way line attacking the south stand everyone was standing up making it difficult for kits to see...you'd be better in the north bit of family stand as at least you will be looking directly ahead instead of sideways when we attack the south stand
 

Ive been in there a couple of times. Brighton game they had some facepainters & then for the West Ham game they had a magician walking round doing tricks.

I have been 2 times in the family enclosure, but to be honest we dont get there a long time before kick off, probably half an hour before, which gives enough time to go to the loo, get a blue donut and get to our seats. I think they have had like a VR game set up for the kids, but we didnt have a go. I dont think there is a ton of stuff.

The best bit was we were at the back of that stand near the TV studio box and the guy in there gave us the thumbs up or thumbs down when the goals were allowed or disallowed. I also saw Tony Hibbert in one of the boxes, I think he was doing something for Everton TV

I was there for Spurs, and will be again on Saturday. I didn’t see any entertainment at all for kids beyond football on the screens. It is a generously sized concourse though, queues were brief and very efficient service all over.

Been in there once and found it quite mobbed at ½ time for getting food etc. prob ok if you go down for an Everton donut a little earlier maybe.
Didn’t see any entertainment in the concourse or stand tbh, and can’t imagine there would be much room for any if ½ was anything to go by.

Seems like he has been happy enough in the area you`ve been bringing him to. Might also be a lucky mascot as we won both times he went.
