Location
Visitor tip
Admission is completely free for children ages 0-2 years old, making it an excellent option for parents with infants and toddlers who need an indoor activity during inclement weather
Visitor tip
For the OMNI theater experience, watch realistic/documentary films rather than animated content to maximize the immersive theater technology - reviewers noted animated films are less vivid in this format
Best time
Arrive early for theater showings and plan accordingly - expect 30+ minute wait times to be seated, so coordinate timing around when hands start getting tired holding snacks and drinks
