"So happy The Varsity is back! If you're tired of the big crowd film experience but still want a big screen, this is the place for you. Loved it!"
"When we don’t have plans on a weekend afternoon or weekday evening, we find a showtime at the Varsity. Love the friendly staff, remodeled auditorium, and the popcorn. My family are “Gold” members, so we get discounts and free popcorn! Due to a medical condition, I sometimes use mobility devices. It is easy to get around at the Varsity because of the new elevator and accessible seating in both theaters. My partner and I have a special place in our hearts for the micro cinema upstairs, The Loft. It’s intimate and cozy. Can’t recommend the Varsity enough!"
"I have been going to The Varsity Theater off and on for 30 plus years. They've made great updates and modernized the theater. While the next two comments are expected, they are also appreciated. The staff? The staff we interacted were helpful, courteous, and they thanked us for our patronage. Cleanliness? The lobby and counters were clearly well taken care of. Even the theater floors were clean of popcorn and soda spillage. While Im still not sure how good (or bad) the movie was, it was a great experience that also reminded me of the many memories of seeing movies there over the years with friends and family."
"I absolutely love the main theater. Concessions are good (they have beer, wine and hard liquor). A must see as a movie lover"
"Focused on independent movies, the Varsity has beautifully reinterpreted the oldest theater space in the metro. I served on the board which revitalized the building. I believe Des Moines will be a better town with its existence."
