Got our tickets with a aquarium combo and saw the Tornado Alley movie. The theater was nice, clean and the movie was great. More

I went to see the presentation on the Arctic and the polar bears and the film was magnificent. It is sad to see what global warming is doing to these magnificent creatures. The size of the screen and the 3D film were truly outstanding and worth the visit. More

The theater is very nice! Very friendly staff. The movie we chose "Tornado Alley" was good but, we expected it to be more exciting being that the theater was in 3-D. It was a fun time! Very comfortable! More

We saw Tornado Alley and were expecting 3D effects similar to those at DisneyWorld. We thought things might seem to come at us but this was not the case. As one review said, it was a documentary narrated by Bill Paxton, who starred in the movie Twister. Interesting but boring to the kids since they wanted to see the action.... More

We thought this would be a 45 minute action packed movie. We chose the tornado movie, and we thought there would be things flying out at us, but it was a documentary, and it was so boring1 I actually fell asleep! Save your time and money! More

On a recent trip to the Aquarium we went to the IMAX theater. It is an add on price to your visit or you can purchase tickets at the theater. My son and I really enjoyed the movie, we saw the tornado movie in 3D, which I believe all the movies were 3D.. It was comfortable seating and a very... More
