omni theater

I've been here several times over the years. Some movies are just better on a massive screen, then add to that the Omni Imax experience and you feel like you are in the movie. (Warning: if you are prone to motion sickness, as is my wife, it may not be as good for you.) Really to only way to watch most of the nature documentary type shows. But some movies are the same way. We saw "Interstellar" and it was amazing. Forget the cost of 3D tickets. This is much better!

I've been going to the Omni since I was a child and it's still just as amazing. Now my kids enjoy it just as much as I do. Unique dome-style theater immerses you in the movie. Definitely recommend if visiting.

Never been till my husband took me and I loved it. Although am scared of heights this show was so worth it I would recommend this place totally two thumbs up.

It was raining and some of the activities we had planned were scrapped so that we could get indoors. We decided to visit the showing of "Jerusalem." I did not love the film, but I did really appreciate how in the introduction they showed where all of the speakers were located. It helped me to be more observant of and appreciative for the amazing sound. The size of the screen and the viewing area is overwhelming and I initially got dizzy trying to deal with it. So although the movie was just okay, the theater itself, including the sound and viewing experience, is amazing

We see the Polar Express every year at this venue and never tire of it. Cost was $9/adult, $8/junior which was ages 2-12. We were in spot #1 in line and got some really good seats; in fact, they were the best we've ever been able to secure, so it was worth it getting there 40 minutes prior to start time. This is like a 3D movie without wearing the glasses!The seats we secured were in the row directly above the large blue "box"; you'll see it when you enter the auditorium. No one is in front of you, and you have a foot rest! I would not recommend sitting in the bottom half of the auditorium.

Our family recently visited us from out of state. The Omni theater was one of the activities we enjoyed as part of celebrating Christmas in North Texas. All ages from 68 to 6 enjoyed seeing THE POLOR EXPRESS. Although we had reservations, we had a rather long wait and we were seated high in the upper level as there were several school children there, the height un-nerved some of the family. That did not deter the wonderful outing, however. Great movie to see on the huge screen. A 7-year-old boy in the party is still talking about the enormous speakers, specifically the BIG BASS.

No matter how many times we go, we always enjoy ourselves at the Omni. We try to see at least two or three movies a year there. The Omni has screens surrounding the theatre and overhead. There are huge speakers behind the screens, which they show you prior to the start of the film. Star Trek retro is one of our favorite movies and we went to see it at the Omni last year. It was awesome! Our favorites, though, are the earlier movies they show. They are more like documentaries, but more interesting. Well worth a visit, but skip the popcorn. It's expensive and not popped fresh.

Nice, clean theater. Curved screen affords a good experience.I would avoid if you are prone to motion sickness, or select a show with limited motion.I would like to see a wider variance of shows in a place like this. For example, today had two nature shows and one about Jerusalem. I would have liked something with a little more verve personally.A little better than IMAX, but not much more.

I've seen dozens of shows at the Omni..most recently Madagascar (a documentery about Lemurs NOT the animated movie) and it was an amazing experince as always. The theatre's domed screen that almost completely surrounds you (as you are practically laying down) is a visual and auditory experince like non other. For a cultural day combine a show here with the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History (the Omni is attached to this) then move on to a choice (or choices) of The Kimbell Museum, The Amon Carter Museum, The Cowgirl Museum, The Modern Museum, The Zoo, or the Botanical Gardens...all within 5 miles. A great way to spend a day.

This format is now relatively common all over these days, but still always a great experience for the senses.

I went as part of our field trip for summer camp. This was the highlight of being at the Museum. The theatre was really neat! I will say though, some of the younger kids were deathly afraid. Most of them really loved it though. We saw the movie about the lemurs of Madagascar. I would recommend it!

I had never been to a dome OMNI theater before... when I walked in I was immediately disoriented and started leaning to one side. Trying to get to my seat was a challenge because I was leaning away from the screen as it felt like I would fall if I straightened up. My wife laughed at me... it apparently didn't affect her (perception) as it did me. I had only been to a flat screen OMNI before this, so it was quite a change. I loved it! You could hear anything and everything as if you were in a box. My own voice seemed quite loud. The curve of the room and the dome affected me in ways that I had never experienced before... except for the tilted house at Six Flags over Texas as a child... Don Juan's Casa Magnetica I believe it was called. Same effect for me. Rocky Mountain Express was a delight to watch and the scenery was magnificent. I was totally immersed in the movie as the sights and sounds surrounded me. It was a great experience and a great presentation. I would love to go back to see more. Great experience!! Please note that parking is located just east of the complex in a pay-for-parking garage... I believe it was about $5 to park there.

If you have never done OMNI then this one will not disappoint. Be ready to be amazed. The theater is part of the Fort Worth Museum, anither favorite. Cafe/snackbar is expensive and has short hours.

Not sure when it was that we saw the latest 007 movie there but it was fantastic! Always fun to watch anything there! Watch your step though!

We saw 3 shows on Friday (not many people there on Fridays during the school year). Mummies, Railroads and Tornados! Not the exact titles. All 3 shows were exciting, informative and fun. Tornados has the most "Action". We love the Omni - go every time we are in town if possible. Great museum too!
