The Fashion District in Center City will require minors who want to enter the mall to be accompanied by a parent or supervising adult after 2 p.m. starting Monday, management said.
The management of the Fashion District said on April 6 that it would implement age restrictions in response to problems caused by teens converging on the mall after school and during spring break.
“We have ... been working for some time to activate a change to our current code of conduct, requiring youth under the age of 18 to be accompanied by an adult beginning at 2 p.m. daily,” Ryan Williams, general manager of the Fashion District, said in a statement.
6ABC and NBC10 reported that anyone who appears to be under age 18 may be approached by mall security or law enforcement and asked to provide proof of age.

Visitors who are under 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent or supervising adult who is at least 23 years old, according to the TV reports. Employees at the mall who are under 18 will be able to enter as long they show proof they work there.
The new rules will be enforced until further notice.
