I brought my wife and kids when York coincided with school vacations.

 

My sons like trains, but two whole days of York would have been too much. My wife would drop me off for the opening, and take the kids elsewhere to do tourist things. Then they'd meet me in the afternoon (when it was less crowded) and do a few halls with me.

 

The last time we went, I skipped the second day, and we all went to Gettysburg. Must have been a Saturday. I don't think they they've gone since the show opening was moved to Thursday. My boys are adults now.

I've noticed in the past few Yorks that more young families have been attending. Although the total numbers in attendance may be down, I take this as a positive sign.
My only restriction for taking my boys on school days was school performance. If grades were down or there was a discipline issue, they didn't go.
My friend and I stopped taking our sons when they spent the day driving around the parking lot looking for girls. They would have had more luck at a convent!
