Magic Castle Extends Hours, Requires Vaccine Or Negative Test

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Hollywood Magic Castle will now require all guests to show proof of vaccination, or show a negative coronavirus test within 72 hours, to enter the building. Photos or digital versions of vaccine cards will be allowed.

Masks will still be required, regardless of vaccination status, inside the building.

"The AMA strives to create a safe environment for all patrons and staff during this challenging pandemic crisis," a spokesperson said. "We thank you for being part of the effort, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the magic."

The new policy comes as the Magic Castle again extended its hours back to pre-coronavirus levels. The club is now open seven days a week from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., and is available for reservations from Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The new policy aligns with many Hollywood businesses as companies look to limit the spread of the Delta variant. Broadway in Hollywood, who operates Hollywood Pantages Theatre, announced they will require all guests to be vaccinated to attend a performance, a policy that will be in effect until at least October 10.
