IMAX' 3D Theatre
The larger-than-life screen makes it feel like you're actually a part of the movie, and the 3D effects will have you forgetting that you're really not.
When you come to New Orleans, plan to see one of only six IMAX theaters in the world. The Entergy IMAX Theater is located next door to the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas. It has a five and a half story flat screen, single projection, IMAX 3-D and high-definition capabilities. With film that is the largest available in the world, you won't miss any of the details. You'll be astounded by the size and clarity of the images that you'll see especially if they are showing a 3-D film. Immerse yourself in the underwater world of the sea and feel like you are swimming with the Dolphins; race around the track while watching NASCAR 3-D, visit Haunted Castles, or take a trip into the past with Lewis and Clark or Mysteries of Egypt. Get an Audubon Adventure Passport and enjoy the IMAX Theater as well as the Zoo and Aquarium during your visit.
