A scene from “The Polar Express,” which will be screened for annual “Polar Pajama Parties” Nov. 28-Dec. 15 at the IMAX Theater in the Indiana State Museum.
INDIANAPOLIS — Yeah, we know — the figurative holiday train seems to have left the station a bit early this year, considering most have yet to give thought to carving the Thanksgiving turkey.
But all the better to compile your holiday entertainment list and check it twice, right?
In that spirit, the IMAX Theater in the Indiana State Museum will celebrate glad tidings with special screenings of “The Polar Express: An IMAX 3D Experience.”
Beginning Nov. 28 and running until Dec. 15, the theater will host the annual “Polar Pajama Parties.” Young moviegoers are invited to come in their pajamas with their families to see a special screening of the flick seemingly coming right at you, if you will.
Children under 12 years old dressed in pajamas receive one free ticket for every adult ticket purchased.
“Seasonal movies are at the center of a lot of family traditions,” said Neale Johantgen, IMAX theater manager. “We are a destination for good films and family experiences, and we’re happy to continue the Polar Pajama Party tradition.”
Families can come for a day of train ride fun with the Polar Pajama Party and The Indiana State Museum’s Celebration Crossing holiday festivities that feature a 13,000-square-foot, 4½-minute train ride called the Snowfall Express that will transport visitors through a forest where Indiana’s animals past and present are preparing for winter. Theatergoers can also take a walk after the movie on the Central Canal in White River State Park to see the Christmas lights highlighting the city skyline.
The downtown IMAX theatergoers can enjoy validated parking in the White River State Park parking garage. To view the ever-updating list of films and to purchase tickets, visit imaxindy.com
The IMAX screen stretches six stories tall and 84 feet wide, and is the largest movie screen in the state. Part of the White River State Park in downtown Indianapolis, IMAX Theater delivers an oversized cinema experience to moviegoers with 12,000 watts of digital surround sound.
