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.

From a six-story IMAX® theater, a performance theater featuring world-class live shows and three floors of imaginative, engaging exhibits, the Whitaker Center is sure to delight the whole family.

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.
