Don't let the small size fool ya! Incredible variety of exhibits and insects from all over the world. Most interesting and educational. Wheel chair friendly. Ample parking.

Reviewed By lavndrlane - Manchester Township, United States
This great multiplex has it all ...It is clean, comfortable and has stadium seating with reclining seats. Great selection of movies & a very efficient staff. We primarily go to matinees & parking is easy, but with 6 restaurants sharing the same massive parking lot I would think that parking in the evenings/night could become challenging.
