What parents say
"Well this was a real trip down memory lane! Before moving to St. Louis City, I used to see movies here quite often (it had a different name back then). So this was basically a new experience! The place looks great, the seating is modern, seating is assigned, and there's a fancy food menu. Any staff member I interacted with was awesome and kindly answered any questions I had. Our movie theater was awesome. The bar was great. If I ever see another movie outside of the city limits, this will be my theater of choice."
