We really enjoyed the moving theater! We got a great deal off Groupon for it and the mirror maze!! It was lots of fun! My 9 year old son enjoyed it the most out of our group!

I was very worried about my 5 year old when the first movie started but he did great and loved it. The line outside the theater wasn't long when we went in (had it been long we would have probably left). The theater only holds about 20 ppl at a time and the show takes about 15mins. They showed 2... More

expansive for 2 short 3D movies (total time no more than 20 min.), wait was longer than the movies themselves. My 5 & 7 year olds liked *not loved* them. My teenage son would only give it a 2 star rating.

My kids and I checked this out today. It was really fun. They showed two short movies, but it was fun. I think they last no longer than 20min though. So it's not a lot of bang for your buck. We did get a military discount, so that was great!

This is an amazing short movie that puts you right in the action. I didn't think it would be so good but I was quite surprised.

Really cool, but the movies were very short. We saw the Happy Feet movie and it was the sea lion chase scene right out of the movie, I was thinking they made a special short film for the ride, but no. They did play a short roller coaster film before the Happy Feet one, and it was better. Get ready... More

We bought a 3 pack attraction ticket when we went to the Ripley's Aquarium, which was great. So when we came to the Moving Theater, we expected a little more. The theater was a dump and the films were short and not very entertaining. It would have been great if the theater were nicer and my kids were younger, (... More

The Moving Theater was fun. I have never done anything like this before and I hope to do again. I wish there was more out there like this. I am older, and had more fun than lots of children. A nice clean fun thing to do with your family.

My son and I went to this while my husband and daughter went to the Ripley's Haunted Adventure. We made the better choice. We had the Ripley's multi attraction ticket. We saw two short movies and had a blast. The special effects were truly awesome. However, this is a moving experience so if you have neck or back problems it's... More
