At Toshimaen 6


2才までのお子様は無料です
にさいまでのおこさまはむりょうです
Children 2 years and under are free.

Some strangeness here. The age counter is sometimes written as 歳 and sometimes as 才. The second one is obviously easier to read and write. Also, child is written as 子供 (こども) but talking about other people's kids sometimes warrants an お prefix, and also a slightly different kanji spelling, as here, お子様 (おこさま).
