"Not the best, I went to go and seen a Aquaman but when I when down to the theater, it was very small it was about 15 seats and they sold me tickets when every seat was taken. So we when to go see a different movie called, wanka in prospector theater. But there is a bright side, it was clean lot of opinions in snacks."

"My boyfriend and I visited the Prospector Theater to see the second Doctor Strange movie on Saturday night. This was our first visit to the theater, and we were truly blown away by so many things. First, we absolutely loved the theater’s mission to create jobs for mentally disabled adults. The staff was so clearly passionate about their jobs, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in the door. We loved that they had a cafe in addition to normal concessions, and I was not expecting them to serve alcohol! Don’t even get me started on their amazing Prospector Popcorn!! They have a great variety of flavors that are all so delicious. Truly some of the best gourmet popcorn I’ve had, which I plan on ordering online if I don’t make it back to the theater soon! Lastly, the theaters themselves were so clean and modern, and I was so comfortable throughout the movie. I will definitely make the drive again to Prospector Theater after such a fantastic experience!"
