Gettysburg isn't for very small kids, however it's really for those old enough to understand what happened there and why. Even then the person must have a real interest in the Civil War since that's what the whole area is about. My 2cts of course. I didn't take our daughter until she was in middle school and she enjoyed the tours because she was old enough to understand what happened. I took my grandson when he was 10 and he fell in love with the place and wants to go back every year and just walk over the battlefield. Good luck.
