Tuttleman IMAX Theater
The Tuttleman IMAX® Theater is a Dome theater that is truly unique in a number of ways. Unlike conventional dome theaters that are 180° encompassing, IMAX® Dome screens are also tilted at 30 degrees. The special seating places the audience up in the dome completely involving them in the show.

Technically an OMNIMAX theater as its humongous screen is dome shaped and angled 30° toward the audience. Originally meant for 45 min documentaries , so you may need some Advil for theatrical movies .
Sit four or five rows from top...not near that box in the center (unless you want to hear the film reel).
Get there early, sit as close to the center as you can without having the projection booth in your way. Sitting by the bottom will hurt your neck over time.
Over 10M people have seen an imax at the tuttleman theater since it opened in 1990!!
The seats are so uncomfortable but the experience is AMAZING
If the movie starts at 3...it really starts at 3. No previews so get there on time!
Movies in re huge screen
The higher up you sit. The better!
Sit above the projector ...best seats!!
sit up high!
No cup holders on the seats.
