Courtney T. • December 26, 2018I love this nostalgic cinema, typically quiet during matinee hours with a variety of concession treats and very friendly staff. However, I wish they showed more than one popular movie at a time.

Derek J. • August 26, 2014One of the few places in the country where you can ride a narrow gauge train today. The 45 minute ride is well worth it with friends, family, or even a date.
