Slightly PerfectDecember 2, 2019
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.

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.

If you live in or around Harrisburg you must get in on the free popcorn special with check-in while they still have it! It's the only IMAX around so eat up!
