Insider tips
- Lower expectations for concession quality and efficiency; consider bringing your own non-prohibited snacks if allowed or prepare for high prices.
- Check for Fandango deals, such as buy-one-get-one-free tickets on specific days (e.g., Tuesdays), to save on ticket costs.
- Be prepared for potential lines and delays even if you've purchased advanced tickets, as the scanning system is not optimized.
- If visiting with small children, plan for how to manage popcorn without shareable trays, as these are not provided.
- Be aware of potential flickering lights before the movie starts, particularly if sensitive to such stimuli.
Good to know before you go
- If hot food or specific concession items are essential for your visit, as availability is unreliable.
- If cleanliness is a high priority, given reports of dirty floors.
- If you are sensitive to flickering lights, as this has been reported.
- If you rely on a quick, seamless entry with advanced tickets, as the system is inefficient.
- If you have small children and rely on shareable popcorn trays for convenience.
- Crowds
- Likely experiences crowds or slow processing at concessions, suggested by inefficient lines and a shared advanced ticket scanning system.
- Value
- Ticket value can be good with Fandango buy-one-get-one-free deals (e.g., on Tuesdays). However, concession prices are very high, with a single bottle of water costing $6, indicating poor value for snacks and drinks.
- Food
- Hot food availability is inconsistent and unreliable.
- Accessibility
- No specific accessibility accommodations were mentioned in the reviews, but the general theater layout would likely accommodate wheelchairs in designated areas.
- Safety
- Concerns raised about 'seizure inducing flickering' overhead lights.
What parents say
"Definitely a nice movie theater. However, they’re quite a few buts. The concessions line is not always the most efficient and the last three times we have been the popcorn has been cold and stale tasting. The movie theaters themselves are starting to show their age as the seats are showing clear wear and tear on them. Also, from time to time the overhead lights in the movie theater will have seizure inducing flickering until they finally go off and the movie starts."

"The cashiers were nice but the theater didn’t have any hot food since the day before. The floor was dirty. Attached pictures. I spoke to the manager and his response was we didn’t have any food since yesterday. He didn’t apologize for inconvenience or even state that he understood my concern."

"Sorry I want to rate more but this is what I seen here. I understand there is work going on but this needs to be cleared. Wired walking up to screens with these lying around. Screens itself are good. Clean and spacious and reclining. Restrooms look dated but are maintained really well."
