So many interactive exhibits for the kids to explore! The hurricane machine and Legos were favorites. The IMAX movie was very good, too. The STEM room is a definite must-see.

From a six-story IMAX® theater , a performance theater featuring world-class live shows and three floors of imaginative, engaging exhibits , the Whitaker Center is sure to delight the whole family.

Great place to see a movie . Only IMAX in Harrisburg. Extremely clean . This theater is popular amongst the locals, and can get sold out quickly, on opening nights definately buy tickets in advance.
