New theater with a cool, modern vibe including a lounge area with a bar and fireplace. Reserved, reclining seats make this a favorite cinema experience. Book tickets for an early afternoon Saturday movie, arrive early and browse the adjacent farmer’s market.
Large movie theater with regular and IMAX movie choices. Plenty of screens and comfortable seating.
