Oh yes! THere are loads of teenagers. Children under the age of 12 I did not see much of, but I did notice several couples with infants. Some of the wee ones really got a kick out of the fursuites ^.^
Just look for the badges that say 'minor' on them if your seeking someone under the age of 18.

Nah, it's just a bunch of old men ;p
I've found that in general, most furs I've met are within about 5 years of my age, give or take... (19)

A median (half of all attendees) less than 25, and a mean (average) somewhat above that. At 47, I'm on the upper end of that distribution
It'll be interesting to see how that shifts over the years - will it flatten out as the current 20-somethings keep coming and new blood comes in, or will it just shift?

It will get older when humanity stops making babies

My understanding is that it happened with the science-fiction fandom. What used to be mostly people in their 20s is now mostly people in their 40s and 50s.
The bad news about that: more heart attacks.
The good news about this: more maturity == less drama. (in theory)

You're so cute when you're naïve
Having worked a SF con which shall remain nameless but has been around for years and years and years, the drama is still present, it's just assisted by portable oxygen bottles and Rascal scooters.

Oh, honey...Never underestimate the power of con attendees with delusions of entitlement. *giggles*
Even with the religious gather i sometimes work on, which is weighted heavily towards the 50-somethings, we have plenty of drama; it just gets more creative. But hey, it makes for great stories. *impishgrin*
dester'edra, who remembers when someone complained that the college campus seemed to have been designed for young adult (college aged) folks

I've seen a few attending the con. When I first went to AC, I was only 17. :3 So I'm certain they'll be a lot more this time around.

No. Never.
People under the age of 18 aren't allowed in Pittsburgh, city ordinance #12834-BS.

Seriously though, of *course* there are.
