  • If someone is under 30 years old, will they still be able to get in?

    Yes, someone under 30 can still get in as long as they’re 21 or older. We started as a brand for Millennials, which would include upper 20s as well, but as we’ve grown we started saying 30+ to be more inclusive. If Gen Z starts flocking to the events, we may have to start enforcing, but to date it hasn’t been a problem.
