The Tuttleman IMAX Theater at The Franklin Institute

I love this IMAX screen and just about anything shown on it. The theater seats more than 300 people. Hint: the best place to sit is above the square console in the center top of the seats. If you sit more than 2-3 rows below that point, you may get a stiff neck from looking up.

Lots of folks here have some valid complaints about seeing a blockbuster type film here, the key to having a good experience watching a movie here is SIT UP HIGH IN THE THEATER! The best seats for a blockbuster film are just above the projector in the center of the seats. This gives phenomenal experience in a unique theater. In addition concessions are reasonably priced and the movies have no previews!

Saw a 70mm print of 2001 A Space Odyssey here. The seats are in need of refurbishment and they're set too low to the ground, a specific tile is so in need of cleaning that it was distracting, a speaker or sub had come looses at rattled conspicuously, and an announcement from the projection room came as soon as the credits began to roll so the audience could be ushered out to make room for the next show. That said, the experience of seeing one of Kubrick's masterpieces on a four story 'screen' is not something I'm going to forget. Worth the price of admission and then some.

Aside from the actual experience, the $15 was a welcome surprise and parking in the Franklin Institute's garage is convenient and easy to get in and out of; back to I-95 in ten minutes.

I love watching movies at Franklin - you don't just look straight ahead at the screen - like a zombie - you are engaged in the moive - looking from side to side - up an down ect.. you are encompassed in the movie - hope they show more again

Great museum, can spend all day here! Usually gets crowded in the afternoon with school trips. Best to get there right as it opens.

We've seen qiute a few things here and the picture and sound quality are great! Plenty of seating and leg room.

The Tuttleman IMAX is located at The Franklin Institute. Exhibits are very educational and the theater is phomenominal. If you join ... the first visit, I assure you ... you and family will be hooked!

The very best way to see a movie. There are only ~60 domed IMAX theaters in the world. Once I was suckered into a non-domed "IMAX" and wanted my money back.

The theatre was an amazing experience as the extra large round screen makes you feel apart of the scenes.

Very very large screen that has a wrap around 360 immersive quality.

My boys had a great time ! 13 and almost 15 yrs old and they ran around like crazy kids

Fantastic experience! Everyone has should visit at least once.

great place to see a movie. And awesome experience to see one in IMAX

Still one of the best parts the museum, and it is totally free.

Loved the new seating and lots of movie snacks loved it!

I always enjoy going to the Imax. A most entertaining experience.
