Reviewed By BlueMtnMama - Brevard, United States

Super cool, single screen retro movie theatre that makes you feel like you're back in the 20s and 30s--except with comfortable seats! We love the Coed for kids' birthday parties (where you can rent the entire space, show a movie of your choice, and get snack packs), new releases, and more. We love going as couples or as a family.
