This theatre is showing in the IMAX format the re-released of “The Dark Knight” at IMAX Exploris.
It also shows a lot of nature documentaries including IMAX format of films presented. Some of them are very National Geographic like.

The first movie theatre to be erected in Downtown Raleigh since the closing of the Ambassador Theatre in the late 1970’s. The IMAX Theatre at Marbles Kids Museum is a masterpiece of cinema.

Switched from 70mm 12 perf IMAX film projection to IMAX digital projection during their January 2011 renovation. Major bummer.
