FAQs

What time should I arrive?

Doors open 10-15 minutes before check-in. If you arrive before 5:45 pm, please enjoy a drink or a seat in the hotel lobby or bar. There is nowhere to sit upstairs before the doors open at 5:45 pm. Seating is assigned so there is no need to arrive any earlier than when the doors open. Plus, you may run into spoilers and there is no fun in that.

MINIMUM AGE is 15 years old and an adult supervision is required.

How does seating work?
