My kids are 8 and 10. It seems to me that they are mature enough to stay in shul for some length of time and either daven or listen. I'm wondering when others bring their kids (daughters) to shul, for them to actually daven, not just to play or eat while the parents daven. My older child davens on Shabbos for a good amount of time. My younger one keeps it brief. But we always do it at home and not at shul.

I can't imagine staying more than an hour though, and find it frustrating to have to pay hundreds of dollars for seats that we will use only briefly.

It depends on the child

If you know they can sit quietly then bring them

And it depends on the shul. At our shul kids didn't really daven until bar-bat mitzva, most of the time they hung around with friends outside and if they didn't, and their friends were outside, they were considered weird by them.
