Smithsonian IMAX Theaters

Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center

Airbus IMAX Theater


The Smithsonian's two IMAX® theaters are the largest and most technologically advanced theaters in the Washington, D.C., region! Offering dual 4K laser projection and 2D and 3D presentations, our giant-screen films that measure up to 6 stories tall offer a truly remarkable and immersive movie-going experience. Audiences can journey through time and space to view some of the most extraordinary images not viewable to the naked eye.


Parking is free for any movie that concludes after 5:30 pm. If a movie ends prior to 5:30 pm, parking is $15 per vehicle.
