Being a nonprofit theater this movie celebrates movies with decals and memorabilia. Cinemapolis contributes to the importance to the local arts scene. Upon entering Cinemapolis, we can feel the artsy and quaint vibe. Near the front desk movie goers can play board games as a great pre-movie activity. Cinemapolis emphasizes on value and affordability. The $8.00 large popcorn tends to be easy on the pocket! The concession stand offers tea and coffee for a cold day. The theatre sells unique merchandise. Movie lovers can purchase movie-inspired clothing at the counter. Movie lovers can see "Wicked 2, For Good". What a fantastic movie! A good point to note: the theater opens at 150pm. Stop in and enjoy the ambiance of Cinemapolis.

We had an incredible evening attending the Cortland Repertory Theatre's production of Tom…read moreStoppard's Rough Crossing. We weren't sure what to expect since we often attend theatrical productions on Broadway in New York City, however, the cast and the staging and direction was so professional, that this show could have been performed in Schubert Alley! If you have a chance to attend one of their shows this summer , get tickets and if you live in the vicinity, consider buying a subscription! The theater is a lovely building overlooking a large lake and they serve very reasonably priced refreshments!

One of the finer regional theaters I have seen shows…read more I saw the production last year of "I'll Be Back Before Midnight" and was very impressed. The level of talent was very strong and across the board. I hesitated to write a review of the theater until I had seen at least 2 shows. When looking at theater companies the more shows you see the better you can gage the consistency of shows. This time I saw "Making God Laugh" and had the same experience that I had a year ago. (I will not review the play but the theater itself) The staff are open, friendly and truly have a love of their theater. A quaint 2 story building that from the outside gives the feel that your coming over to grandmas house to meet family. The area around is a nice park with a lake. Perfect for a family picnic before the show. Inside the theater is not a small black box. This is a fully functioning professional theater. An excellent lighting grid, the sets are fully realized as well as the talent. Price per show is well worth it. Air conditioned, comfortable seats and good acoustics make the experience enjoyable. The best part (as in all theater) is the quality of the shows. The technical meets the performances. I truly enjoyed both nights of theater. Professional quality shows with a home town local vibe... A gem in the crown of regional theater.

Great little theater. It could use a fresh coat of paint, but it was clean and everything worked as…read moreit should. The seats were comfortable old school theater seats. Tickets were under $10, a price that no longer exists where I'm from. The concession stand was reasonably priced(for a theater) and well stocked with all your cinema favorites. A nice touch was the complimentary popcorn seasoning stand. You could season you popcorn 5 different flavors, free of charge. I'm not from the area, but I'd be happy to come back here again if I were. As long as you expect a small theater and not a Regal or AMC multiplex, you'll have an enjoyable visit.

The staff is always kind and friendly, and you can see new movies for much less than you'd pay at a Regal or AMC in Binghamton or Ithaca without having to drive out of town on icy roads in winter. You also don't have to sit through a half hour of ads before your movie plays like you do at Regal theaters. No question that it's old and a bit worn, but Cortland will damn sure miss it if it's gone.

There is a section specifically for little, which they loved! The water table and the pet/vet section especially. In the "big kid" sections our 3 year old loved seeing all the fish and lizards, the little penny black hole and the vacuum tubes with the Pom-poms. Even the outdoor area was a blast! So many cute and clever ways for kids to learn and play. We had the hardest time getting him to leave. I ended up convincing him we could get a stuffy at their gift shop to take with us. Never thought I'd buy a stuffed white blood cell, but here we are! Again, super cool! Lastly, the staff was all so pleasant and nice, which is always extra appreciated in a kid-centered place.

The Festival also tries to be environmentally friendly, as it uses compostable utensils and paper plate. A local favorite is the kettle corn. I'm a fan of the candied apples. Om nom!

On the other hand, it's the size of a post stamp. It is a beautiful building and all the exhibits have impeccable designing, but don't expect this experience to take more than an hour at most. I stopped to read every single placard and it took me roughly forty five minutes to get through everything. I can see this place being understimulating for the average kid, but at least my kid loved it because he loves fossils and sea shells. I am very appreciative of the work they do here to keep history alive, I just wish there was a bit more to it.
