Age Policy for R-Rated Movies

An adult guardian is defined as someone of legal age (21 or older) that is responsible for the minor(s) during the period of the R-rated movie.

•  We card anyone who appears 25 or less

• You must be 17 or older to purchase the R-Rated ticket

• Guests age 21 and older may purchase multiple tickets but must stay present throughout the movie for those aged 7-14

• Guests aged 15-16 may watch the movie independently as long as a parent/adult guardian has given reasonable permission.

• Guests 17-20 may only purchase one R-rated ticket for themselves.

• Guests 7-14 must be accompanied by a parent/adult guardian who remains on premises the entire movie length.

• Children 5 and under will not be admitted to R-rated movies under any circumstances.

• We are required to perform theater checks to ensure compliance.

Policy changes reflect both MPA and NATO requirements and bring us into compliancy with SD Law SDCL 22-24-29 and all will be strictly enforced.  Employees of NHC are merely following coded law, please respect their instructions.
