Such a great place! The staff was wonderful and friendly . The movie was excellent and so interesting ! I wish it was more than an hour! It’s a great place to go especially if you’re tired and need a bit of a break from walking around. Would recommend 10/10

Nice IMAX. It was pretty neat learning about some of the people who tried to go over the falls in all of their different contraptions, then be able to go out in to the museum and actually see a lot of them. The location was nice and clean and the staff were nice. They have a great gift shop.

Great movie though I think its time to update the show with more recent information about how tourism has evolved in the area and maybe more stories of daredevils taking on the falls.

Although deserted due to COVID, the 2 ladies working were very helpful. The show was quite good too!

Watched the IMAX and walked through the Daredevil Exhibit. Very interesting and informative. The IMAX screen is as big and awesome as advertised!And all the surround sound speakers added a very engaging atmosphere to the theater! Comfortable seats too.

We were just here not too long ago and I want to see that this is always an interesting place to visit. The theatre is Wally. And very comfortable to enjoy the feature. The staff and employees that work here are very courteous and very friendly. They help you find your way around very easily. This IMAX is always clean and tidy and meat

Love to read all the history that written to those who survived the Niagara falls Enjoying reading those challenges that they had experienced in those strong falls.

They tried.I’m sure this was cool in 1999.Pretty run down and you can tell it really hasn’t been maintained well.

The facilitate is pretty run down. The 45 min movie about Niagara Falls is somewhat entertaining. The National Geographic gift shop is nothing special. The retail price of entry is way too expensive but would worth the visit if you can get a discount coupon or promo price.

I thought that the IMAX screen will be covered around me like all other IMAX theaters do but this one is just one large screen. I love the video though and the history of Niagara Falls it tells me about.

I thought the movie was great and informative. I didnt know much about the history of the falls. I felt the facility (bathrooms and entry) could have been kept cleaner, but overall enjoyed the experience. Maybe offer other movies throughout the day to pull more revenue to keep things up?

The Imax theatre was very informative. I think it was a good thing to visit the theatre first before taking the boat ride. It made it more exciting and interesting.

Sadly it is being torn down to make way for a badly needed 250 room new hotel. The current site is getting way too old, and they are relocating IMAX as soon as a new site can be found.

The sound and movie were good. It’s a bit dated but still fun. We saw mysteries and myths of the falls. It was nice and empty so we got good seats

This seems to be a huge waste of an IMAX theatre that I have seen. The location is awesome, it is clean, and the Staff are friendly and very helpful. The problem is their feature movie Miracles, Mysteries, & Magic which is about of course Niagara Falls and its history. The movie was made in 1986 and the quality really diminishes the feel of an IMAX theatre. It is corny and certainly dated but has scratches and hit and miss sound. It is neat to see what Niagara Falls looked like in 1986 with only one hotel and less erosion to the Falls. I would think there should be some money in the Tourism budget to a newer movie and really make the IMAX theatre use its full potential. The movie is offered in several language via headphones will be good for the vast cultures that visit Niagara Falls. I guess I just expected mover because of it being an IMAX.

Ive been to Niagara Falls several times but never took the time to visit the IMAX theater. its a different attraction to do while u are there to learn about the falls

Review №19

Your expectations for IMAX are really high, such a pity they have not redone this flick, with more history and less mystical prolonged legend. Really had an opportunity to impress, and yet they fall short. The sound is there the big screen is there, even pretty good buttered pop corn, it was more the content that disappoints. This place is like your little brothers t-ball team, no one really wins and yet we go, come on its IMAX.

The movie started... and it was suddenly familiar. I saw this same movie 20 years ago, youd think with great new film technology that theyd have updated this to be more modern. Rather disappointed.

Review №21

Everyone working here was great! However after our day touring the city with a local guide I felt we knew more than the movie went through. It was also very outdated and kind of cheesy... But if you need to cool off and have a laugh with some popcorn have at it!

I thought it was very entertaining and the close up pictures of the Falls show the raw power of the Falls. You can tell much of it was filmed from a helicopter. Great pictures!!

Mediocre by comparison to the IMAX I have been at. With the power of the Falls, it should have been so action packed I would get nauseous or a little dizzy. Didnt Happen. Not worth it.

Review №26

IMAX theater was very nice, sound and scenes were amazing (as they should be in an IMAX), however the content of the Niagara Falls movie was disappointing. I thought it was going to share the historical, factual, information about the falls; but it was about myths and legends. Which bored me.

The IMAX theater was nice clean and the museum very cool. The Niagra movie was very old, 1986, so the HD we have on TVs is so much better. I would not spend my time or money there.

Such a fun experience. Had a great time at a great price and parking is cheap. Both the IMAX and Daredevil Experience were fantastic. Very education and fun. I would definitely recommend this outing.

Review №33

The theatre + museum is a decent experience for kids but the facilities (and the film) are a little dated. The people are friendly, the projector is shaky and the acting is a little cheesy - all of which is fine if the tickets come in your hotel package. Wouldnt go out of my way to see this otherwise.

Museum is small and interesting, can get in some barrels for photos :)I enjoyed the video :)

For a great introduction to The Falls that goes far beyond just watching water flow over a cliff, you need to start here. Your mind will refer back to the movie as you walk around the falls. Great value, huge screen, beautiful cinematography.

I completely LOVED experiencing the Daredevil Exhibit and watching the history of Niagra Falls in IMAX!! Theres nothing else that could ever come so close!! I highly recommend everyone go try the IMAX experience because it is remarkable. Plus the staff are so friendly and wonderful!! If you find yourself visiting Niagra I highly recommend making the IMAX theatre one of your designated stops.

The movie teather and technology seems outdated. The movie looks like was filmed in the early 2000s. Dont waste your money in this. You might as well watch a documentary in youtube and save your money

Review №55

The movie is useless, uninteresting and uninformative. Save your time and money. It tells you almost no information about the history and geography of the area and instead it’s a lot of bad reenactments of notable moments. Even then, they give almost no detail or context and you have no idea what’s going on. Skip the movie. The museum of people going over the falls is, on the other hand, pretty interesting but very small. Takes about 20-30 minutes to go through.

Review №61

Bought the Groupon (Admission for two to the movie and the daredevil museum for $20 Canadian which equals about $16 US) Movie was good. Lasted about 40 minutes. In the same building is the Daredevil Museum. It was pretty neat. They had probably 10 or 12 of the actual barrels and things that people had actually gone over the falls in over the years. Pretty neat. Well worth buying the Groupon and seeing the movie and the museum.

It is an IMAC theater and the movie was very interesting. Good little gift shop on the way out but there was no pressure to but stuff. Clean restroom and friendly staff.

Review №63

A great throwback to the 80s. This place is still chugging along after all these years without an upgrade or even a whisper of a refresh. I wouldnt bother waste your money when you could probably find this archaic film on YouTube. The best part was the introduction to the movie as the theater still pretends IMAX is something new and out of this world.

Review №68

The outside is pretty dilapidated but the inside isnt too shabby. The imax movie was the real issue, maybe it would have been entertaining if this was the 1980s and you had your High School varsity jacket on along with your Chuck Taylors. The best part of the movie was when they worker came on the announcements and told us the show was over.

Bad ChoiceWe visited this place because we had a coupon offering a half price discount. We still overpaid. The only thing older and in worse shape than this theatre is the movie theyre showing. Look like something they made back in the 50s. The theatre itself is old and run down and badly in need of a major renovation. Considering the technology that exist today, this place is about 50 years behind the rest of the world.Do not waste your time or money here. There are many better attractions at the Falls.

Review №71

I thought the film might have been a little more educational. It mentioned historic times and events but it was very vague on explaining details. If you dont know the history yet,the film does nothing to educate you more. The video of the people doing things is not what I would expect of Imax. Poor video clips. The only good video is of the Falls overhead views.

Jo
Review №72

Horrible picture quality, film has dust specks and scratches all over it. The movie itself is uninformative, though the aerial footage looks nice.The exhibition is one room, even when reading every piece of information in there youre done in 20 minutes.Worst 20 CAD Ive spent in a long time, tourist trap.

Yes, it may be a tourist trap but it is still informative and fun. Appreciated by kids and adults alike. The daredevil exhibit with barrels/contraptions that have taken adventurers over the falls is not to be missed!

Review №81

Aged theater, Imax movie has to be from the 80s. Dont think it was winning any awards then either.The theater didnt even have any exterior lights on, or signage lit. We thought it might have closed down as we approached in the dark. Half the best rows of seats were blocked off/closed.Very disappointing...total waste of time and money, even on the discounted groupon.

This place should be closed long time ago!! Everything is so OUT DATED in there. I would never go back there even its free. When they played the movie you can see a big hair and all kind of black dusts on the white screen, very disgusting!!! COME ON ... its almost 2020, its a shameful that they never upgrade anything considering this is in the entertainment district in Niagara Falls. No wonder this place is empty on Sunday afternoon.

The film about Niagara is a bit corny, but entertaining. The exhibition on the various methods that lunatics have used to go over the falls in is fun too.
