Having hosted many public astro events, I am confidently sexist and say girls are much easier to cater for than boys. The boys are too restless while the girls will stop and look and some will go "wow!! please daddy, can I look again?". The girls are better at listening to instructions about not touching, leaning, pushing & shoving, and also about where and how to look. As a result they get a lot more out of it. I don't have a solution for dealing with boys much under 10. If anyone knows please tell me because I'd like to know. (I don't have kids of my own btw.)
