The Art Theater is a gem of a theater. It’s really old and has a beautiful frescoed ceiling. It was recently bought out and remodeled. They show recent releases and it’s a pretty cheap night out.

Porter County

Portage:

Goodrich Portage 16 IMAX

6550 US Highway 6, Portage, IN – (219) 764-7469
Map

This massive multiplex also gets most new releases but it’s hallmark is obsiouly it’s IMAX screen which is well worth the extra money.

Valparaiso:

Cinemark 12

700 Porter’s Vale Blvd., Valparaiso, IN – (800) 32632646
Map

The Cinemark in Valpo is much smaller and more intimate that the other huge multuplexes in Northwest Indiana. Much better suited for a quiet date out.

49 Drive-In Theatre

The 49 is a must! To read more about the 49er, read my previous post here.
