adults-only
Not for children
Adults-only describes content, venues, or products restricted to people over a certain age threshold—typically 18 or 21.
The term usually signals sexual or violent material: an adults-only video game rating, the adults-only section of the video store.
It can also mark spaces where children are excluded for other reasons: an adults-only resort, an adults-only swimming pool.
