How It Works

So, you have finally decided to visit the Northern Lights.  We can’t wait to see you.  The following information will help you have the best experience that will make you want to come back again and again.  First of all, you have to find us.  Click on the Contact link above if you need to find us.

To get in, you’ll need a ticket. You can purchase online or at the Box Office.

After you get your tickets, you can place your order.  View our menu online before you come.  Or outside on Readerboard. Having a good idea of what you want will help us make sure the lines move fast and you make the best choice.  Yes, we do make everything to order so if you don’t want onions (or your date doesn’t want you to have onions) on your nachos, just let us know.

Sit back, relax and enjoy your movie.  We’ll bring your meal as soon as it is ready.  With assigned seats, we take it right to you.  If you do have a craving for another beer or to follow-up with the best popcorn in town, we’re waiting in the lobby to help you.

That’s it.  The following is a list of items to help you feel like a “regular” at the Northern Lights.  We don’t take orders inside the theatre.  If you would like anything additional, you’ll need to return to the lobby and get it.

We do schedule menu items to be delivered later and do our best to deliver it on schedule.  So, if you want your food as soon as possible but want your dessert later, we’ll schedule the dessert to be delivered later so you can just sit back, relax and enjoy your movie.

Be patient.  Your movie may not have sold out but another one might have. We may have a cook call in sick.  Things happen that sometimes delay food delivery.  Please work with us and be patient.  Imagine if 130 of your friends showed up at one time for dinner at your house AND they all wanted something different to eat.  It is amazing we can get everyone fed at all, let alone timely.  So, it takes a little extra time to get everything delivered.  If you are starving and you show up to a busy show at the last minute (so everyone else has ordered before you,) then get a small popcorn to hold you over till your food arrives.

Our doors open 30 minutes before the first showing each day.

On busy nights, we recommend you arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled start time.  The auditoriums are usually ready for seating on average 15 minutes before the show starts.  With a popular show on a Fri or Sat night, you should show up even earlier.

Please don’t enter the theatre until we are finished cleaning.  We can clean a theatre much faster and do a better job when it is empty.  If you are early and want to get in to get your seat, start lining up by the doors.  If people are already lined up, find your spot in line.

Get to know the theatres.  #1 is our largest theatre, therefore it will allow more people.  Also, theatre #1 has a little narrower seats than #2 and #3.  You may take that into consideration when choosing when to come see a particular show if it matters to you.

Come on weeknights if you like it less busy.

Now you are a pro.  We hope you thoroughly enjoy your unique experience at the Northern Lights.
