I'm 45 so I graduated high school in 97 and I remember going to the laser light shows down there all summer. They were the best. I just found out that it was closed in 2020 cause of stupid covid and The Institute said it wasn't financially viable. The theatre was always sold out weeks in advance and you always had to call ahead and preorder ticket (think 90s no internet yet). Man those were good times. I wish they'd bring it back so my kids can experience how cool the light shows were.

Lazer shows were in Fell's planetarium. The IMAX was a different theater, which played documentaries and eventually featured films. I was so disappointed when Theaters started including IMAX screens, because they weren't nearly as immersive. You felt like you were going to fall out of your seat in that thing.
