imax theater

My wife and I have been here several times. We went last week and watched a show about lemurs in Madagascar. The photography was great, as always. The price of the ticket is $9.95 US. it is conveniently located in downtown Chattanooga, near all the other attractions, the river, restaurants, and ice cream parlors. It is not far from the art district either. It is open from 10 AM to 6 PM.

This is a very nice theater. The screen is 6 stories tall. I felt like I was part of the movie. It felt as though some of the animals were actually in my lap. It was amazing! We will absolutely go back!

We decided to have a family weekend with a total of 9 of us. I used a Partner Appreciation coupon to get a discount for a 3D show at the Imax in Chattanooga. It was well worth it! I pre-ordered our tickets to the Imax and also to the River Gorge Explorer. All I had to do was go pick up my tickets at the ticket booth at the Aquarium. Easy! I would suggest pre-ordering your tickets as this saves a ton of time waiting in line. The theater lobby was large and super clean. They had a wonderful special on 2 large drinks, an extra large popcorn, and a box of candy for $15! What a deal. We had wonderful seats and our whole group loved the Madagascar show. It was so informative. Seats were comfy and the theater was clean. We hope to go back for other shows soon.

Wish the credit card kiosks were working due to the long lines...but seats were comfortable...big screen.

The IMAX is a great experience for the whole family. The screen is huge and the seating is great. You have to wait outside in the cold to buy tickets which can be annoying if the line is long. I printed coupons off the internet, but they were refused. The lady said that they were good only for the 45 min shows and we were there to see The Polar Express (which was amazing) - the coupon did say some restrictions may apply. Then she went on to say she couldn't have accepted them anyway since they don't have a barcode. So watch out for that. I complained about that via internet but got no response.One other thing I would point out that the theater probably has no control over...most of the nature films strongly push the theory of evolution and naturalism worldview - many parents may not appreciate that.

This IMAX is a good one with a great screen and sound system. They also have great pop corn! It is within easy walking distance of most Chattanooga downtown attractions.

On December 27, we arrived before 1:30 pm to buy tickets for a 2:00 pm movie. The line for tickets was stretched around the side of the building. There was only one person selling tickets. We got our tickets between 2:05 and 2:10. The movie had already started and we had to sit on the front row. My wife got sick from motion sickness because of the close up seating and had to leave almost immediately. Adios to $20 for a very unpleasant outing due to poor management of this facility. Avoid at all costs.

November 29th at 1:00PM.From the beginning it was just an overall bad experience. First, we arrived with just a few minutes til the movie started. The ticket lady was neither happy nor friendly and just stood there counting money while we was the only people in line waiting out in the cold. I noticed she had just put in a new drawer but why wouldn't she do that til 1 when the movie starts and everyone is through getting their tickets? Oh and we didn't even get our tickets or change back til after the movie because she couldn't get the printer to work and closed the drawer before we got our change back! Ok not too big of a deal right!? Lets just push forward the IMAX will definitely make up for that! Stepping into the IMAX I was amazed! The 6 story screen and stadium seats... just WOW. Then we finally set down 10 minutes into the movie and put on these big gigantic reusable 3D glasses. Figured they would cover your whole vision right? Wrong! The ones at the regular movies are far better than those things. And to top things off the sound was horrible! Whhhyyyy would you have such an amazing theater with no surround sound!? The regular sound coming from just the front of the theater wasn't even loud. And finally the parents who bring children 3 and under, I really could just uhhhh. That really put the icing on the cake! Don't bring babies to the movies! That is so disrespectful to everyone who paid hardworking money to relax and enjoy some time off! YA KNOW AWAY FROM SCREAMING BABIES.SAVE YOUR MONEY! I WISHED I DID! Seriously, with all the good ratings on here people must not know what a good theater looks and sounds like. They're way better things to do in Chattanooga for the same price. My kid really enjoyed Jump Park.

We bought our Imax tickets as a combo with the Aquarium. It was very crowded as there were many many school groups on field trips. The place was jam-packed full of kids! However, the staff moved us to the front of the line and sat us in the top row, perfect seats. A very enjoyable time. We really appreciated not having to wait or sit in the middle of all the school groups (even though all the groups were well behaved! ).

This I-Max theater is very nice, clean and very reasonably priced. We saw a documentary about The Galapagos islands that was very educational and fun. A must see attraction in Chattanooga

I've been to my share of IMAX theaters and this was a really nice one. We watched in 3D which didn't make me sick like it normally does so that was a bonus! They have your standard popcorn, candy, soda concesssions.

specialty imax moves are predominantly played here. These imax moves are about 45 minutes long and are very informative. I think the the screen size is comparable to other imax theaters. Will go again.

We purchased the package that got us entry to the Aquarium as well as an IMAX movie for an additional $6 each. We saw the Galapagos 3D movie and I have to say we all enjoyed it. The theatre is nice, clean bathrooms, etc. The gift shop was reasonable and had some decent stuff. The popcorn was excellent, what little I got to eat!! We would definately go back to the IMAX next time we go to the TN Aquarium.

We watched the Galapagos and found it very informative and wonderful in 3D. The theater was clean and the staff was nice. I also wished that we would have seen the Ice Age movie but time did not permit. It is a very nice add on to the aquarium experience!

While visiting the Aquarium exhibits, we added the additional $6 to go to the 3D Imax showing of the Galapagos. IT WAS WONDERFUL! I was initially concerned that the 3D effects would be cheesy or poorly done. Wrong! I was torn between loving the movie's content and the technology. Good stuff. Do it!
