I've been here a few times. I didn't 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.
This is not the planetarium style IMAX where you get lost in the action, this is just a larger movie screen. If you're ok with that, then it's good. The movies they showed were great, the food wasn't too expensive, and the theater was completely separate from the aquarium so the lines went quickly.
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 didn't actually deal with the staff in the theater, so I can't speak for how friendly they are. However, I'm 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.
We went there for a shark IMAX movie, my kids love here. Great place for family and kids to spend an afternoon.
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.
