How many RomaPass are needed ?
We're a family of four with 5 and 15 years old kids. How many RomaPass we should buy at arrival ? We're planning to visit Colosseum, Vatican, Borghese Gallery. How can we book in advance for Borghese Gallery , do we need to tell them we've RomaPass etc. ?

Why did you post this question twice? I answered your other post, but you didn't mention the Borghese Gallery there, so I gave you an answer that's not really appropriate.
However, I question whether the Borghese Gallery is the best museum for your family, considering that you have a small child. The kids will get in free, but I doubt that they'll enjoy the experience very much, especially the little one. The Villa Borghese Park, however, is a great place to take kids. It's free, and there's lots of stuff to do there, including a pond with boats and ducks, bicycle carts you can hire, kiddie rides, a zoo (not free) and a puppet theatre (maybe not free). Unless the adults are passionate about Bernini and Baroque art, I would say to skip the Borghese Gallery.

<< How can we book in advance for Borghese Gallery >>
If you read the information on the Borghese web site you'll find that you must phone to make a reservation.
Free tickets for Roma Pass holders and the tour guides are only bookable through the Reservation Center (Tel: +39 06 32810 - Mon-Fri 9:00 am to 18:00 p.m, Sat 9:00 am to 13:00 p.m, closed Sun and holidays, 24 and 31 December 9:00 am to 13:00 pm)
I would not take a 5 year old to the Borghese.
BTW - this is the 3rd Roma Pass thread.

Methinks it is time the OP learned how to Google, or at least reads the answers to his duplicate posts. I think many of you have more than kind in posting the links to websites where these questions could be easily answered with a little reading.

Sometimes I get different answers and opinions even when I google search engine. As it is my first trip, trying to gather as much as information before my departure instead of asking question while we will be there. Also, we've enough time before our departure date, so our plan in terms of visiting tourist sites can be changed. Such as, not a good idea to visit Borghese gallery with our 5y old daughter, now where should we keep her in Rome as rest of us want to visit that place. Please, if you've time, give us suggestion instead of criticizing us.... Thank you all.

We're not criticizing. I think it's so much better to have all the answers in one place as responders can see what others have said and respond to those suggestions. Also, the original poster may not read all the threads. Posters may still be responding to the other threads. Are you reading them all?
If you want Roma Pass information you go to the Roma Pass web site. If you want Borghese information you go to the Borghese web site. You always go to the source for the most up to date information. You're not looking for opinions, you're looking for facts on how to use your Roma Pass, etc. You couldn't possibly get different answers about using the Roma Pass at the Borghese from the Borghese web site.
If it were my 5 year old I would not leave her any place. You have 2 adults. One goes into the museum with the 15 year old and the other stays with the 5 year old. Then the one who has not seen the museum goes into the museum. It will take more time but better that then worrying what is going on with your child.
