Great for family fun or date night! Sit in the middle row to be eye-level with the screen or try the first row for a more up-close experience.

"5D Movie Theater"

July 2019

Ripley’s Moving Theater is a great place for kids under the age of 12 years old.
My youngest loves to come to this motion 5D Movie Theater they have two movies that are very short.
The lines are not long and the seating area always have plenty of room to enjoy the wind, sounds, motion, movements and snowflakes.

Tip: There are only two rides and they are very short.

"So much fun"

February 2017

It was a very short experience for the money, but it was loads of fun. Not only did my children enjoy it, my wife and I both had a headache from laughing.

Tip: Short, but a lot of fun.

"Ok at best"

Reviewed October 06, 2019 NEW

I wouldn’t go back to this honestly. It was cute and I like the idea. But, the seats were uncomfortable and could’ve used some padding. You get to watch 2 videos that are about 10 mins maybe. They were ok but not great. The whole thing was a bit outdated. Seats need to be updated and videos as well. Maybe one video that lasts about 30 mins would be much better. Also, the misters needed to be cleaned and updated as well. The mist that was hitting us in the face smelled soured. We didn’t go back. Not worth the money honestly. The staff were super nice though.

"Not too bad"

Reviewed September 11, 2019

Came with our combo ticket we bought so we tried it out. It was pretty good. They showed 2 short clips. Was nice to get out of the heat and relax for a few minutes.

"Totally cool!"

Reviewed August 06, 2019

It was a busy day so the wait was about 20-30 minutes, not too bad. The ride itself consists of two 3-d films; a racing simulator and a snow sledding adventure. The first was pretty frenetic with the seats jerking up and down and side to side but not too rough to enjoy. The snowman/sledding adventure also features pufs of cool air and spritzes of snow, etc. pretty cool...my wife loved it!!

"Not Horrible"

Reviewed August 05, 2019

It was cute, but nothing spectacular. Lasted approximately 15 minutes with two 3D movies and the seats move with the action on screen. If we hadn’t have gotten a really good special for the tickets we probably would have skipped this activity.

"Not as good as I expected"

Reviewed July 29, 2019

We went as 2 adults and 2 kids ages 13 and 14. Being under the Ripley Name, I was expecting something exceptional. The first movie was blurry so many times during the movie, it was really messing with my eyes. The second movie, Winter Wipeout, was much better as far as the clarity. You need to sit in the 2nd or last row in the middle to experience one of the special effects. Bummed it was limited to only those seats. Being on the end, I was able to see it but not be a part of it. Thats all I will say so I'm not totally giving it away. Overall, all 4 of us agreed it was not great and honestly ended up being a waste of money. Bummed that Ripley's brand isn't requiring it to be something special instead of basic....
