For nearly thirty years, the Dr. Phillips CineDome transported viewers to exotic and interplanetary lands. We're excited to unveil a complete reimagination of our giant-screen theater in Summer of 2026, when it will reopen with an 8k digital projection system.
These renovations will also allow us to return to our roots as Orlando's home to premier planetarium shows and laser light shows. While we prepare for this exciting new chapter, we invite you to enjoy 2D or 3D movies in the Digital Adventure Theater!
