Have Questions?

General Questions:

How do I find upcoming films and showtimes?

The "Now Playing" tab lists all currently scheduled films and show times.



I bought 1 ticket.  How many people can I bring?

1 ticket purchase reserves the parking spot for 1 vehicle. The number of people allowed per vehicle is determined by the number of legal seat belts in the car. There must be one seat belt per person, including infants and children, in the vehicle.

The movie audio is broadcast on a designated FM radio station determined on the day of the screening. Follow the simple instructions on the screen to tune your radio to the appropriate FM station. Then simply turn up the volume!

Our parking attendants will guide each vehicle to a parking location that will offer the best possible viewing experience.
