Owned and operated by the Tennessee Aquarium, the 63,000 sf, 400-seat IMAX 3D Theater opened in 1996. Located at 2nd and Chestnut Streets, it features a six-story high screen and state-of-the-art digital surround sound.
Because of its technologically advanced 3D cameras, rolling-loop projector, special polarized glasses and large film format – at 10 times the size of conventional 33mm movie film – viewers don’t just watch an IMAX 3D movie; they live it. A variety of films are shown on the hour daily. The Tennessee Aquarium and the IMAX 3D Theater have played major roles in the city’s rebirth and the transformation of the downtown riverfront.
