Tips & Advice
- Choose the morning or afternoon show, since both present the same program and each runs about 90 minutes.
- Have cash ready for the garage if you can, since cards are accepted but cash makes the parking entry move faster.
- Get a ticket for every child, because everyone entering the theater needs their own seat, and the show is recommended for ages 6 and up.
- Leave cameras at home, since none are allowed in the theater, and finish snacks in the lobby because food stays out of the auditorium.
- Take Metro to Civic Center/Grand Park on the B or D Line, or to Grand Av Arts/Bunker Hill on the A or E Line.
