The Imax Experience - Imax Theatre - Niagara Falls
Welcome | Now Playing | Ticket Info |   Imax Experience | Private Function | Groups | Find Us


The larger-than-life Niagara Falls IMAX® Experience brings reality to life on a screen over six stories high. With 12,000 watts of floor shaking digital surround sound, you'll feel like you're there. Whether it's going over Niagara Falls, scaling the top of Mount Everest or speeding around the Indy track at 230 miles per hour, IMAX films are guaranteed to take you places you've never been before! Our 620-seat auditorium with stadium seating ensures that you're right where you want to be - in the middle of the action.


The screen is 4500 times bigger than an average TV screen
The film is strong enough to pull a truck
A 2D IMAX camera weighs approx. 80 pounds. That means if wildlife shows up, you can't grab a camera and follow it as you can with video or 16mm. The 3D IMAX camera is the size of a hotel mini-bar refrigerator and weighs 265 pounds.
Because giant-screen images look so real, the script or storyline probably can't exaggerate. There's a low "baloney quotient".
Light from the 15,000-watt lamp in an IMAX® projector is so bright that if it were on the moon we could see it from earth with the naked eye.
If a large log were held in front of the light beam from the projector, it would spontaneously combust.
Giant screens can be up to eight stories high for flat screen IMAX® presentations.
The l5/70 film frame used by the IMAX® projection system is 10 times the size of a conventional 35mm frame.
Sonics Proportional Point Source(tm) (PPS) loudspeaker system was specifically designed for IMAX® theatres. The system typically uses 44 , laser focused speaker drivers located throughout the theatre to fully envelope the audience.
A typical 45 minute large-format 2D film for IMAX® theatres is three miles or 15,840 feet long.
The first permanent IMAX® theatre opened at Ontario Place in Toronto in 1971.
IMAX Technology is entirely "Made in Canada".
