The AMC in edwardsville is very large with a huge parking lot which is a bonus because you don't…read morehave to stress at all about parking before your movie. The theatre itself is very dated. It's for sure due for a lobby and concession area "glow up" The newer theatres with Dolby sound and recliner seats are clean and the seats are comfy. My only complaint about the seats is the recliner works oddly. It's sort of all or nothing which I'd prefer to have my legs up and not lie down. I'd skip pretzels, mine were cold and lacked any flavor. For the more outdated theatre the prices are high, almost $20 for a movie here which is more than the prices at the brand new theatre in St. Louis so In my opinion, it's too high. If you are into a no frills movie experience then this is the spot! Good popcorn and comfy seats!

Everywhere you look there are handicap accessible signs yet they certainly are not. I went with a…read morewalker not my wheelchair this time. Asked for no step seating for an imax showing of Hail Mary. Was given seats with a step to them. Had my partner not been with me, I would not have been able to sit. Then after the movie, tried to use the restroom but the stall door was too narrow to fit my standard size walker. Thought this theater would be nicer, newer, more updated but was truly disappointed. Wonder if the department that grants the Ada certification is aware how very.not Ada this facility is...

Went to a $2 Tuesday night movie and fell in love with the Wildey. A nostalgic experience…read more Buying tickets at the ticket booth under the marquee made me feel like I was stepping back in time. The staff was amazing. It felt like they all were an intimate part of this historic place. We had several staff members personally thank us for coming on the way out. Wow! When have you had that at a movie theatre lately. They have a nice concessions booth. Beer and wine is a nice touch from the stage left bar. We can't wait to see a concert at our newly discovered gem.

Edwardsville is so lucky to have this vintage entertainment venue. I have fond memories of coming…read morehere as a child to see movies with my cousins. It's where I saw many of the classic Disney animation films and one of my favorite musicals, Sound of Music. Today, I went for a taping of a STL news program. Great Day St. Louis was doing a live broadcast promoting, the centennial of Route 66. The program was not only informative, but entertaining as well. I enjoyed seeing the old theatre that now host, concerts, comedians, movies and a variety of other activities. Seeing the old concession stand, plaques on the walls and the vintage decor added to my flashback of the good ole days. Seeing the second floor as an event space was super cool. It would be great for a wedding reception, retirement party or a momentous birthday or anniversary. If you're in need of a party space, be sure to check, The Wildey.

The 2025 Edwardsville Art Fair was an absolute blast! The Edwardsville Arts Center (EAC) once again…read moretransformed City Park into a three-day celebration of incredible regional talent. Over 100 artists brought their work, showcasing media from intricate ceramics, crisp photography, and shiny metal jewelry to unique polished wood pieces and, of course, brilliant paints. My personal favorite? Felicia Olin, whose whimsical paintings on canvas and wood keep me looking for her year after year. (I have several of her pieces, including one I got during the Edwardsville Art Fair last year and another at the Fair in 2018!) Other regulars include an artist who uses puffy 3D paints, SIUE art students, a wood and collage artist who makes the most beautiful boxes and mirrors, and, new the last 2 years, an artist who makes beautiful paintings of silly embroidery and nother who makes incredible realistic-looking flower arrangements from a flexible clay. ​The atmosphere was great, too. thanks to the warm but not too hot temperatures (we got lucky there) and the live music on the bandstand (especially the SIUE Jazz Band). And, if you wanted, you could grab a drink, an ice cream, or some food from a food truck or tent, including Global Brew and Cold Stone Creamery, and then sit down to enjoy your selection while enjoying the music and other performing arts. Plus, the fair is a perfect family event, offering kids activities like the Maker's Space. It's awesome knowing that the fair supports the EAC's mission to keep art accessible for everyone. Mark your calendars for next year--you won't want to miss it! Maybe I'll see you there!

This was my first time ever visiting a psychic, and Loving Rose was extremely kind and professional during the entire visit. Most importantly, Loving Rose made me feel so comfortable and explained all information so eloquently, making sure to clarify if there was anything I was confused about. Overall, Loving Rose offered great intuitive insight and guidance from a novel perspective, and I recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a reading (among many other services)!

She is so easy going and just down to earth. Loved it!
