Within the city of Niagara Falls there are several interactive or large format style Imax, 3D & 4D theatres that are sure to entertain the entire family.
Immerse yourself in these strange and exciting worlds as you walk with the dinosaurs, blast around on a glacier, travel through time, go on an adventure with Sponge Bob or even take a trip over the Falls.
What are 3D Movies? 3D movies, usually with the aid of special glasses or other head gear, give the audience the illusion that the images on the screen are actually popping out at them. In some cases, this effect is so convincing that people will actually move there heads from side to side as they try to avoid objects on the screen.
What are 4D Movies? 4D theatres take this one step further by adding such effects as moving and shaking chairs, wind blowers and fog machines among others, all to help the audience feel that they are really participating with what is going on in the movie.
If you have ever visited an Imax or 3D and 4D theatres before you know just how thrilling and exciting they can be. And with many of the movies themed about the sheer power and size of the Falls it is sure that the excitement will never stop.
