Park Place 16

11/13/2007 Posted by vonlisbon

This theatre used to be so nice. It was the big place to go whenever something new came out. Now even the highschool kids don't want to loiter around it on weekend nights. The theatres themselves are rarely cleaned, freezing cold, and glitches in the picture or sound are pretty much a guarantee. I swear I have never seen more than three people working *in the entire place* in over a year. This means that concession stands may or may not be open, you may have to go to a few different locations around the building to find someone to sell you a ticket, and the idea that someone would take your ticket and tell you where you theatre is is laughable.

Pros: It's always empty so you'll never have to worry about a show selling out

Cons: Staff, building, technical equipment, food, comfort, cleanliness

Matinee prices and student discounts are great. Generally they have all of the new releases (except for smaller independent films). Seats are comfy enough for me and usually it's not crowded unless you arrive at peak hours, but even then you generally don't have to sit next to a strange if you don't want to. Food prices are too high (like with every theater) and popcorn is nothing special. Bathrooms are scary. Usually it seems like the staff would rather be somewhere else, but I guess that's the nature of working at a theater. Go for the movie and don't expect much else and you won't be disappointed -- I have simple needs.

Pros: Good value, all the new movies

Cons: Food is overpriced and plain, bathrooms are dingy

My mother and I get in free, because she is in a wheelchair. No other movie theater does the same. Everyone is very kind. The seating is great; ask for hot popcorn and you will get it!!!!

There are more popular theaters around, and some even have better screens. But since I'm past the age where I think standing in line for theater tickets is fun, I've come to appreciate the Park Place's wide selection of movies, abundant parking, and lack of crowds. I've never had to wait much for a movie here, and the experience has always been pleasant (other than having to listen to the occasional moviegoer who hasn't quite figured out that they're not in their own living room...but you find such folk everywhere). Sure, it's odd to consider a 16-plex a neighborhood theater, but the park place fits the bill.

Pros: uncrowded, good parking

Cons: average concessions

went to park place 2 weeks before christmas. took our children (5 and 8) and their 2 friends. when we walked into the door my kids were ran into by 4 pre-teens chasing each other and yelling. when i complained to the manager he was apologetic but ineffective. during the entire moving the same group of kids +5 or 6 others continuously ran in and out of the theater yelling, kicking seats and talking loud. the manager did nothing. after the moving, i complained again and he apologized and said parents drop their kids off and stick him with them. i told him it says something when its a friday night and there are only a hand full of people in the theater...no lines.

Pros: none

They charged a .99 surcharge for using a debt card, the soda was warm and flat and there was 5mins. of commercials before the previews. Very disappointed, choosing another theater next time.

This theater is SO much better than Crossroads 20 and others around because it has better parking, lower prices (all around), and when they sell you a large combo-pack (drinks/popcorn/etc), they don't close the concessions as soon as the last movies start. (Others do). So you can go back out for more food / drinks if you forgot something, or have hungry kids, or just want your "promised" refills. You can also go to get Pizza or Golden Corral in the same plaza. Great overall!
