• One of our favorites in the IMAX experience is Texas: The Big Picture. You know what they say-everything's bigger in Texas especially when you put it on an IMAX screen!

• Catch a film at the IMAX theater and expect little surprises, such as your seat moving with the action. It's sandwiched between two other great landmarks: The Texas State Capitol and UT.
