Always fun to see an IMAX movie. Especially in this air conditioned theater. Great place to sit back and be mesmerized by nature on the big screen, all while enjoying the comfort of air conditioning and soft chairs.A little pricy, but what isn’t in Boston?

Comfortable & clean. Make sure that you park in the correct garage if you expect to have your parking ticket validated. We parked at Rowes Warf and they couldnt validate because it was the wrong garage.

Lively space for a lecture and presentation.Comfortable seating, great acoustic...a great venus within walking distance of my Westend neighborhood

The Presentation was Fantastic, great views of our newest marine monument area and inhabitants.

One of the first IMAX theaters in the area. Concessions are moderately priced for a movie theater. Big theater. Amazing projection. Perfect for documentaries. Right next to the aquarium.

Always a great time, amazing eye opening movies.

Nice Shark Show It Was A Learning Lesson About Great Whites Very Helpful

As part of my day visiting the Aquarium with my family, we decided to take in a show. Went and saw the Panda 3D show, was very interesting and well done. The theater was very clean and well laid out. Having never been there before I was happy with the overall experience

Comfortable seats, well air conditioned. Great stop for a hot day.

Very cool experience! Fun movie about Australia.

Great place to watch an IMAX movie, when youre in Boston.

New England Aquarium annual member so probably a little biased. Came to hear one of their talks offered in their free Spring Lecture Series. Great lecture. Great time. More people should be members.

Old technology that was better viewing on your own TV at home

Very cool place, especially when its really hot outside!

Okay seating, great sound and screen! Great visit after seeing the aquarium!

Films are short 40 minutes, concessions reasonably priced.

Great experience..great films in an immersive, clean and professional environment

It was a great film. Very educational.

The place was filthy. Popcorn all over the floor in the lobby. Trash and food on the floor in the theater. My shoes stuck to the carpet it was so gross. The staff ignored the mess and was not very helpful. Such a disappointment.

Awesome place for everyone

The Simon IMAX theater at the New England aquarium is amazing! It is placed high on the wall, and the screen is huge, so nobody can sit in front of you and block your view like they can at a regular movie theater. The programs are wonderful, interesting, and informative - I watched the show with the sharks - and they give a good insight into marine life. There is great sound in the theater as well, and outside of the theater, there is a lobby that sells snacks and drinks - water, popcorn, candy, and soda. The only thing that distracted me in the beginning was a small child that sat behind me who was screaming at the beginning of the film. However, the mother was able to take him out of the theater and my experience from then on was great. I didnt actually deal with the staff in the theater, so I cant speak for how friendly they are. However, Im sure that they are as friendly and as helpful as anyone else in the aquarium. I highly recommend going to see an IMAX show on your next trip to the New England aquarium.

Right next door to the Boston aquarium, its modern, clean, well kitted out and spacious. The aquarium was showing a movie (hence our visit). Great cinema.

Nice I cant wait to go back there

Great movie about the Ocean. Wish it was an IMAX with screen all around.

Nice place and a great location. Typical IMAX films

Broken air conditioning, nobody announced it and when I asked I was told it’s been broken for a while. Concession stand combos prices can’t be purchased because they are not in the computers, why have it advertised then.

I watched the 3D Galapagos movie which I liked very much, fun and interesting. The air conditioning was freezing so youd better get a coat!

Video quality poor, blurred images

We started our day at the aquarium watching a fascinating movie about the Galapagos Islands. As usual with these IMAX movies, it was a tad pricey for what you get, but it was enjoyable.

Great show turtle odyssey. The snacks were lacking

I saw a film about The Great White Share, it was amazing

This place is great! I went a few months ago, the staff was great and they actually used movie film instead of digital! The prints were clean without any scratches too. I really wish I lived close enough to go more often! Im the guy who normally gives one star reviews too, just did it to the Mcdonalds at South Station. Please always continue using film, even if it means not having as many films. Because if you ever do go digital I will never give you 5 stars again!

This is not the planetarium style IMAX where you get lost in the action, this is just a larger movie screen. If youre ok with that, then its good. The movies they showed were great, the food wasnt too expensive, and the theater was completely separate from the aquarium so the lines went quickly.

Excellent image quality!... Still using film!... Keep it film or Im removing stars!...

The shark film was pretty and interesting but a bit boring too.

Very informative and beautiful 3D movie about the Galapagos. I did not know its history

It was so in formated about the sea life in seas

Good noce and clean

Nice big screen!

Very nice 3D shows. Not like the other IMAX theaters that are so steep its disorienting. Its more like a regular movie theater thats souped up.

Enjoyed the IMAX movie while in Boston

Very nice experience

Good GALaPOGAS island (sp?) Movie.

Lived the movie and IMAX, but the older gentleman selling tickets and cleaning was a miserable crankshaft

A nice and warm theater. Definitely worth watching the movies during a cold windy day in Boston. The bathrooms were in slightly poor shape, but kind of expected with the rush of people after each showing.

Great place and convenient to go to before or after the aquarium

Great 3d effect, but only worked if your head was straight forward. if you tilted your head, the 3d would mess up

Very nice theater to watch an imax film with the family.

This theater is sooo fun to go to. When I’m MA i get a group of friends have dinner sit near the beach water and then we go watch a perfectly clear imax movie at this amazing theater the service is fast pace so no long lines and the buildings architect is amazing.

Only been there for a meeting. Looked all right.

Saw Oceans 3D. Very immersive experience.

We went there for a shark IMAX movie, my kids love here. Great place for family and kids to spend an afternoon.

Very interesting and enjoyable.

Saw a documentary about Galapagos wildlife. Great show was great. Probably could have done without the 3D

Ive been here a few times. I didnt really care for it. It was very crowded, which I expected and the shows that were playing were boring to me. However, it is pretty cool looking from the outside and what not.

Nice and cozy. Usually not crowded. With great and educative films.

Very immersive and informative. I saw the Galapagos 3D movie and I loved jt

The movie about the galapagos Islands was great but its Quality was not that good.

Imax screen is nice and big

BEST MOVIES EVER

Great nature IMAX movie

Nice, needs improvement in some theater rooms

Its an old theater and my glasses were broken. My right eye worked perfectly, but I had annoying double vision in my left.

Nice place to relax and watch a small documentary.

We saw the Oceans movie.

It was awesome!

Pandas in imax was amazing

Clean atmosphere and great informational movies, we loved it!
