  This is something that we have discussed in TRG, and we likely will have a
  room or rooms set aside for the young.  It was also discussed whether it
  would make sense to have adult-only rooms so that people could get away from
  the noise and worry for a while.

  At the time, I pointed out that if the consideration we were addressing was
  having a place where people could expect quiet, then maturity, not age,
  should be the determining factor in who was allowed in.

I think it might be nice to have a quiet room, like a library, and perhaps a
'noisy' room that teenagers would feel comfortable.  I would strongly avoid
labeling any place 'adult', 'teenage', or any other age group.
