My wife and I went to see an old movie here. Great experience. Cheap price, cheap popcorn, refurbished. Like you step back in time. The organist comes out of the stage. Awesome. We will go back.

Reviewed By wahine1 - Palo Alto, United States
This Church is remarkable. The stained glass windows are so well done with stories behind them. The structure is art in itself.So many events take place here because the atmosphere is calm yet there seems to be a wonderful energy there as well.. , "Mem Chu" is how the Memorial Church is referred to by most in the area. It is worth the trip to learn about the history that goes with it.
