Don't miss seeing a first-run film here. The picture and sound will blow your mind (and ears) but in a good way. They sell popcorn , candy and bottled drinks. Have fun!

Katie Willard

The newest IMAX at any of the Smithsonians. On top of the cool educational videos, they are also showing Jurassic World like regular movie theaters .

Sebastian Rivera

The screen is literally 10 times the size of an average movie theater . It's enormous! The only downside is that they do not sell or allow and food/beverage in the theater. Snack before going.

70mm TRUE IMAX is the ONLY way to see Interstellar. Take a little longer drives and do it do it do it. Any negative reviews need to experience it this way.

Santi Caamaño

Best cinema I've ever been in my life... huge screen, really nice sound, and the 3D is real 3D.

Nick Sweetman

6 story screen and support for full quality movies . I saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and it was a spectacular, sold-out show!

The museum is free, but there is a per-car parking charge for entries before 4PM. If you come often, you may want to invest in the six-use parking pass and save up to 44% http://bit.ly/UHCpark

If you' are going to see Mission: Impossible w. the Dark Knight Rises prologue , you may want to buy tickets in advance. We've had several sell-outs. www.si.edu/imax
