# Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) with Kids: Every Family Facility, Mapped

**Short answer:** Hollywood Burbank Airport has two private lactation rooms past security, at Gates 6 and 11, in its single 14-gate terminal. BUR's site lists no children's play area, family restroom, sensory room, family security lane or stroller rental, but its compact layout and quick security lines make it easy with kids.

**Velivolo family score:** 4.3/10 (Fair)

Burbank's biggest family perk is its size: one 14-gate terminal, short walks and security lines the airport itself says move quickly. Facilities are basic. There are two private lactation rooms past security, at Gates 6 and 11. BUR's site doesn't list a play area, family restroom or sensory room, and all restrooms are simply described as ADA-compliant. A new replacement terminal is being built under the Elevate BUR programme.

## Security with children

- **Family lane:** Hollywood Burbank Airport publishes no family security lane. It says its security lines are known for moving quickly, and recommends arriving at least an hour before departure (two hours at peak holiday times). For extra help, request a TSA Passenger Support Specialist through TSA Cares.
- **Strollers and car seats:** Strollers, baby carriers and car seats go through the X-ray, and anything too large is inspected by hand. Take your child out and carry them through the walk-through metal detector.
- **Formula, milk and baby food:** Formula, breast milk and baby food are allowed over 3.4 oz (100 ml) and do not need to fit in the quart bag. Tell the officer at the start of screening and take them out of your bag.
- **Shoes:** Children 12 and under can leave their shoes, light jackets and headwear on during screening.
- **PreCheck:** Children 12 and under can use the TSA PreCheck lane with an enrolled parent or guardian. Teens 13 to 17 on the same reservation can too, if the PreCheck indicator appears on their boarding pass.
