The space is thoughtfully designed to provide a calming ambiance, allowing visitors to decompress and rest before diving back into the exhilarating activities the convention has to offer.
This new space aims to provide a serene sensory zone for parents and young children attending Comic-Con to relax, decompress, and recharge for more adventure-filled activities. The Fortress of Peace and Quiet will offer dedicated areas for nursing parents, activities for young children, and a convenient baby changing station.

PRO TIP!!!
ALWAYS head to the Collectors Choice Comics table to get a signature witness BEFORE you get any books signed. CCC has to witness the signature for any artists or celebs attending the show before they submit your books for grading. Otherwise, you will need to submit your book as a VERIFIED signature (instead of witnessed) which has an additional fee. Avoid this fee by grabbing a signature witness first!
