    Highly disappointed some of my family could not enjoy and join my birthday celebration. It’s understanding the concept of trying to control and protect the facility and patrons of what could happen, but to deny entry of anyone under the age of 23 after 8pm is diabolical. They weren’t minors and were accompanied with their parents and still denied entry. What a way to make people celebrate their special day but never again even the city has a curfew at 10pm for minors.
