Pro Tips

- 3.Request booster seats at the box office for younger children who need help seeing over the seats
- 4.Arrive 20-25 minutes early to allow time for bathroom breaks, snack purchases, and finding your seats before previews start
- 5.Consider the IMAX experience for older kids who can handle the large screen and louder sound, but stick with standard theaters for sensitive younger children
Best Time to Visit
Weekday matinees (before 5 PM) offer the best value and smallest crowds. Weekend mornings are great for family films, though expect more families. Avoid Friday and Saturday evenings when theaters are most crowded and louder.
What to Know
Matinee tickets are typically $8-12 per person while evening shows run $12-18; IMAX carries an additional surcharge. Free parking is available in the shopping center lot. Outside food isn't permitted, but the concession stand offers kid favorites like popcorn, candy, and nachos.
Seasonal Notes
Summer months feature more family-oriented blockbusters and special morning kids' programs. Holiday seasons (Thanksgiving through New Year's) bring popular animated releases but expect larger crowds. Check for summer kids' movie series with discounted tickets on weekday mornings.
