    Wicked For Good

    Since their renovation, this theater has definitely upgraded not only the interior but also the comfort level and cleanliness of the place. Regal has made watching movies more enjoyable since and have been visiting everytime I'm in town.

    Love the aesthetic

    Typically the Maya Theater is our family choice venue for movies but our recent visit to Edwards gave me a whole new outlook. I always check the local theaters to see which new and classic movies are playing, so when I saw there was a showing for the Hunger Games Ballad of....I had to get tickets. My daughter loves the series. Very inexpensive tickets that we booked on the app (also love the app, very user friendly) This was a late show on a Tuesday so business was slow, but everything looked great. I really liked the enthusiasm of the gentleman that greeted us as we walked in. Fantastic "movie narrator" voice, great job The movie started right on time. Sound and picture quality was great, also the seats are super comfortable. I really wanted to give Edwards 5 stars but during the time of our visit they were having some kind of issue with their equipment or something because they weren't able to serve hot pretzels no way, bummer

    I've been coming here since I was a teen! I have no complaints, the place is always clean and they upgraded the seats recently! Look forward to coming back next time I'm in Bakersfield!

    Great seats for movie Sunday night last minute... Sinners was sold out everywhere we tried and this was available at perfect time. Popcorn was fresh great accommodations

    This place has completely revamped their theatre spaces. They have new, very comfortable seating, as well as individual rows, where they seemed to have removed half of the seating in each theatre for more room and space for the reclining seats. Overall, the feel of the theatre is probably one of the nicest in town. Same ole, same ole, when it comes to the pricing of the sodas and food items but overall if you want to go to the movies, this has to be one of the nicest places in town.

    Yay, they have finally upgraded some of the theaters to have reclining seats and it has a movable tray for you snacks with a drink holder. Also, I love that they have caramel pop corn. So yummy

    We had a family movie night, and we decided to watch "Thunderbolt." At first, it was really exciting, you know? But as the film progressed from the beginning to the middle, it started to feel pretty dull. Honestly, I think it's one of the most boring Marvel movies I've ever seen. Despite that, I'm still looking forward to the next one and curious to see what new Avengers are in store. We'll have to wait and see!

    Service was terribly slow. The worker giving people food was so slow that a bunch of people including myself were late to the movie and missed the first 10 minutes. I also recently went with a friend of mine and we wanted to watch a movie called "weapons" but we are under 18 so they scanned our tickets and the man scanning the tickets seemed happy to tell us we couldn't watch a movie that WE payed for with our hard earned money and to make it worse they did not give us a refund. This is also the only theater that's does this other theaters such as studio movie grill and maya cinemas do not do this. I would not recommend watching a movie at this theater.

    Ask the Community - Regal Edwards Bakersfield

    Do they have recliner seats?

    Yes

    Has Edwards upgraded their seats to the recliner type you find at Studio Movie Grill or AMC?

    Yes, all auditoriums have been upgraded to full recliner seating with serving trays !

    Is Edwards going out of business? Are the rumors I've been hearing true? If so is there a GoFund Me page that I can donate to?

    Fortunately the theater is here to stay! The company has put money into the building to help upgrade the sound system and seating. They plan for a lobby and concession remodel as well!

    Any senior discounts?

    Every day $6.95 :)

    If your 15 and a half can you still work at Edwards or do you HAVE to be 16?

    I don't believe they hire anyone under the age of 16.

    What are the regular and discounted prices? Please list all.

    Buy one ticket for $7.80, get one free on Tuesdays!

    Last night Edward's Theatre and even The Marketplace was not busy at all so it is a shame we didn't stay to watch a movie or movies.

    Cue the dramatic trailer voice:…read more In a world where movie theaters can be sticky, chaotic, and somehow out of popcorn... one Bakersfield theater dared to be clean. Studio Movie Grill was a solid date-night win. From check-in to the bar to seat-side service, everyone was friendly, helpful, and on it. The seats are comfy enough that you may briefly question whether you came for the movie or a sanctioned recliner nap. We usually stop at the bar first, where I stay loyal to the Not-House Chardonnay while my husband goes full action-movie lead with the cocktails. A Tito's Bloody Mary feels like the brunch sequel nobody asked for but everyone secretly enjoys: bold, dramatic, and ready for its close-up. Then we order food, head to our seats, and let the magic happen. I also just learned SMG has a free rewards program, which honestly deserves its own plot twist. I've been using Fandango credits, but SMG rewards looks better since you can earn credit on menu items too. That's a very strong supporting character. Plus they support "special needs" humans with free movie nights...bonus for the non-profit twist. So why 4 stars and not 5? Because the plant-based menu is still waiting for its big breakout role. I think there's basically the avocado flatbread if you remove the cheese, which is fine, but I'm ready for the plant-based options to get top billing. Overall: clean theater, great service, comfy seats, drinks, food, and a fun date night that does not require awkwardly whispering, "Did we just spend $80 to sit in public?" Well... maybe, but at least it was worth it.

    We went to Studio Movie Grill to see Wuthering Heights and had a great experience…read more The service was quick and efficient. The attendants came back to refresh our drinks almost immediately after we clicked the call button, which we really appreciated. We took advantage of the food offer of 2 entrées for $35 and selected popcorn as our starter. I had the sliders with fries which was served on pretzel buns. It was flavorful and the pretzel bread was soft. My husband ordered the avocado flatbread (no cheese). The avocado was creamy but it could have used a little more basalmic glaze. There was a tomato strategically placed on each slice of the flatbread. They accommodated his request without any issues. The food came out before the show started and was served fresh and warm. The theater itself was clean, and the seats looked clean and new, as if they had been recently updated. It made the whole experience even more comfortable. Overall, it was a very enjoyable movie night with excellent service and good food!

The best introduction to a region is learning of its history. I stopped by as I told my Mom this is a highly-rated experience and gem of the community! Turns out, it is. Kern County Museum is an immersive outdoor experience set up as a community or town where you go from houses to buildings to barns, exploring what life was like when people lived in the olden days. We spotted a hotel, doctor's office, schools, courthouse, and so many more buildings. All the structures are well-maintained and have descriptions in front of them. You're even allowed to go in some of the buildings! My favorite was a the spooky Mason Lodge! We spent a while enjoying the stories and significance of these locations which led to the development of a well-known Central California city! Kern County Museum even has a research center, mini art gallery, and children's discovery center. The facilities are clean and well-kept. There's an indoor section to the museum with background on Native American and war-time culture in Kern. My Mom and I came during a week day, we saw several parents bring their children to explore the museum. There's plenty of parking and room to move around. As an educator, i highly recommend checking this out! It's also perfect for field trips!

It is THE PLACE to learn about kern county and bakersfield history. I love coming here and learning new things every time.

The country music scene exhibit is really cool and makes you proud of the bakersfield sound and the vehicles exhibit was awesome for any car/wagon lover. I was impressed with the amount of historical vehicles. Then we also love the Lori Brock museum which is perfect for little kids to enjoy the arts/crafts area and make believe area and a small outdoor play ground. It's one of our favorite local activities!
