Very nice and friendly people. Very clean facilities and affordable concessions. Great activity for a family on a shoestring budget. Good seating and silver screen is in great shape. $4 tickets $7 large fountain drink and popcorn. Good parking as well. Overall a great theater experience.

Small theater with a HUGE sound. I’m telling you that the sound system in there will knock your socks off. There is a reason they’ve won so many awards for their sound system.

They even play free movies from time to time, just to give back to the community. I don't know the people …THANK YOU so much!!! We are so glad you enjoyed your visit! You must come see us often! We love our guests and want them to enjoy the BIG screen and unbelievable sound system! Plus...it's the best popcorn! 🍿 We are delighted to see families enjoy the free movies as well!

Lovely charming place , the people who run it really care and enjoy what they do . Me and my family enjoyed a free showing of the polar express during Christmas time . It was my daughter's first movie and it couldn't of been at a better …What a wonderful first review of 2022! Thank you! We are so grateful to have hosted your family. It is even more special to have hosted your daughter's first movie! We love hearing stories like yours because it brings our slogan to life! We are honored that you had "An Experience to Remember!"

Who do I contact regarding Save My Seat? I want to talk to a live person, not a recording.

Judy Singer | Feb 21, 2020
Melba Theater (Owner) | Feb 22, 2020

Witold, Save My Seat is not a seat reservation program. It places a gold tag on the back of a seat in support of the Melba. For $50, a permanent marker tag will be placed with someone's name or message. It can be in memory or in honor of someone, or many friends have placed theirs or their kid's name on it. We only have a few left! As always, thanks for coming to the Melba!

For the rise of the guardians movie, my kids got free tickets from our bank. Do I still have to pay to get in bc I have no money.

Kaleb Verser | Feb 21, 2020
Melba Theater (Owner) | Feb 22, 2020

The Bank is renting the theater for a private show to their Squirrel Account customers. They are paying for their kids account holders to watch a movie and enjoy a small drink and small popcorn on them. We are offering the same deal for just $5 to their guests. Although our regular prices are very low, this is an even better deal. Thanks to our Very Melba Christmas series sponsors, we are able to offer those movies for free. We have 5 Free movies left in that series.

I would like to purchase a gift certificate, when can I do that ?

Lydia Terrell | Feb 21, 2020
Melba Theater (Owner) | Feb 22, 2020

Feel free to come by during any of the showtimes. We have school groups today and tomorrow so we are actually open during the day as well. If you can wait till after the movie starts you can avoid the line!
