Great hole in the wall theatre, friendly staff, good prices. #1 choice even if it isnt the fanciest. Dont judge a book by its cover!
The only place I go to watch movies. Ive been going since I was 18 and to this day the staff is very friendly and helpful. I was worried that they would suffer post-pandemic so I will do anything in my power to keep their lights on. They are family at this point.
My BF and I enjoyed the mini-golf area, The Fringe. We were surprised by how challenging some of the holes were but really enjoyed ourselves! Its a ciole place for a nice time off the beaten path with your loved ones! Give it a whirl!
My family and I enjoyed playing mini golf at The Fringe. The courses are fun. We will definitely be back!
Great mini golf course! There are two separate 18 hole mini golf courses next to the movie theater. Both courses are very clean and entertaining
Went to see the new Spiderman movie here! The movie was great! The theater smelled like urine though and all of the toilets in the womens bathroom were clogged 😣
They freeze people in this theater. The temperature is too cold. It’s a weirdly seated room and the seating is not comfortable. But they maintain the theatre neat and tidy
Very nice mini golf place! Had a great time there
We loved going here. It was clean, well priced, and the service was amazing. We will be going there exclusively for now on!
Love this theater. Never packed & prices are good for tickets & popcorn.
Surprised for sure - comfy seats, 10 theaters and great prices! Thank u Aurora! I can afford going to the movies!
Tried their Fringe / mini golf. Its cool and well laid out. Good place to have fun
Family owned and low key, great place for 4l movies, inexpensive and theres putt putt too. Specials during the week and friendly staff, this is my first choice typically for a movie. Its family operated and I just love the place. I havent been anywhere else but here and Merchants Walk in the last few years.
I was shocked at how cheap the tickets were. Theater is a bit dated, no recliners and some seats were missing cup holders. Other than that it was fine.
This is always our go-to theater. Great local theater. Inexpensive. Friendly staff. Delicious baked goods to buy and eat during the show. And one of the best things about the theater are the awesome window paintings they have a local artist do to promote movies.
This place has two scenic, outdoor mini-golf courses and a movie theater. The course we played was 18-holes and it was a lot of fun for our fam. The boy who sold us the mini-golf tickets was impatient and rude. It was hard to hear him over the outdoor music and the mask he was wearing, and being our first time there, I had to ask him to repeat some things twice. He seemed annoyed and did not thank us upon leaving. Also, why have a “family” rate if a family of three cannot use it? We were told only 4 people and up for the family rate. This left a bitter taste in my mouth.After the course, we went to the theater and watched the Shang-Chi movie (awesome). The staff at the movies were friendly and helpful. Its a shame there was barely anyone there. After the movie, at around 7:15 pm, we noticed there were more people playing mini-golf outside than when we did (at 4 pm). All in all, a fun place to spend a few hours. We will be back. And that boy at the ticket counter better not give me any attitude.
We did a block screening and Barbara was so helpful! We are renting out their minigolf course this month!
Went to war games for a friends birthday. W place. Amazing staff, super fun and so many modes!
Really fun place to play mini golf. They have 2 courses and both are really fun!
I normally enjoy movies here, but had a great deal of frustration today. We were running late for our movie (thats on me, but...) and got in the concessions line with only one set of customers in front of us, yet it was moving so slow with the one employee. Then, a second employee showed up and face us hope, but she ignored us, then a third employee and a manager came out. I asked the manager if someone could help us at another register, and she very flippantly responded that someone would be with me soon. So we waited and finally got the one guy working the register as the other 2 employees and the manager continued doing what they were doing while ignoring customers. I get that these are hard times in terms of good help being hard to find, but was surprised to learn that good management is also hard to find. Or at least thats the case at this theater with the old lady managing it.
Just played both 18 hole golf courses. Had a great time. They have nice courses and scenery. The inside is very clean and I plan to go see a movie soon as it looks like I could have any seat I wanted.
So much fun here! The golf course is very fun and the movie theatre as well. We also got a slushy here. I love the decor of the golf course. Very beautiful scenery
Best movie prices period. Everything else run typical movie theater prices. This place has that classic no frills movie theater feel to it. Its clean and the people are friendly. It perfect for when you just want to go to the movies.
Basic but clean and nice. Cheap movie tickets.
Weve come here for movies and for the mini-golf! Two great courses to choose from.
The staff behind the counter was great. They advertise an arcade and a dinosaur statue. The arcade consisted of two games inside the movie theater which is where the concession stand is, food was not good typical microwave. Never found the dinosaur statue. The two golf courses were fun and my grandson and I enjoyed playing them
The popcorn here isnt good at all but Im giving them 5 stars for the manager who helped with one of the kids with me who lost his tooth. He grabbed me salt water and helped him clean it. I love service that is genuine from people who will go the extra mile to really help you.
Played mini golf. Got a hole-in-1 on the first three holes for the first time ever! Half way through it started raining and we tried to wait it out but course started to hold too much water. Customer Service was great and gave us a Rain-Check to come back and play later.The only reason I gave a 4-star in lieu of a 5-star is because the courses were not up to par.
Friendly and helpful staff, clean movie theaters and never crowded. Rates are lower compared to other area movie theaters. Two big clean and well equipped family restrooms for families with babies and toddlers.
Two mini golf courses, laser tag, and a movie theater. Did not go inside but played both courses of putt putt. Very cute courses but needs a little maintenance/TLC. There were multiple spots where the green had worn down to the cement underneath or there were drainage issues, including one hole that was literally full of water. If those issues were addressed, it would be a top notch mini golf spot.
Love this local, family owned, theater. Friendly staff, comfy seats, fun fancy treats for sale at the concession stand. Just as nice (or nicer) than the big chain theaters with lower ticket prices. You cant ask for more than that.
Just went here again for the first time since the pandemic and it is still a great place! High quality sound and picture, friendly staff, and fresh concessions! The best deal you will find for a movie in the area!Get out and support your local businesses, especially this theater!
Not your new and modernized cineplex that most people desire but it stays up with the times, is cheaper than basically any other theater, and it’snever incredibly crowded which means you can get in to see popular movies the first weekend without worrying about sell-outs.
Great food court, and we love playing the mini golf!
Fun time, great courses...it was hot though... highly recommend... its outside and they clean the putters, balls and pencils
I witnessed a staff member run out of the building to flick off a young boy while yelling in his face. There were children around, and I did not appreciate my son having to witness such behavior! Extremely unprofessional.
Went here for my anniversary. Lovely golf courses. Staff was genuinely nice and cheerful. Was able to do 2 courses for decent prices. And even though we almost completed the second course before rain hit, they gave us a free pass to come back again due to rain. Definitely going to come back again.
Always a great visit here. I went recently and it was just like it was pre pandemic. Only thing is there is a strong mold smell that I think came from a water leak while the theater was closed during the pandemic.
Great value and clean theatre with a cool mini golf course
Very nice family business with great decorations and excellent service. Plus great prices compared to other movie theatres in the area. Ive been coming for years and Ill keep coming as long as theyre around
Always a great experience. The workers are all wearing masks and taking extra cleaning precautions. The other movie goers are socially distancing as much as possible and wearing masks themselves. Im super grateful for being able to feel comfortable going to the movies even in the panorama. 😉
This is a nice course. No moving or action on the course, but the place was clean and the holes had different types of challenges from the hills and slopes. We did the pirate course and will go back to do the other course.
Love this theater. Always a great experience. The concessions arent super expensive and yet tasty. The mini-golf is awesome. The people are friendly and kind. Had a birthday party there a few years back and all 14 guests had a blast.
Love this spot. Great service and movie experience.
Very old fashion. 4 stars only because the seating is a bit uncomfortable.
Great value and good putting surface (maybe semi-new/recently replaced)
Only mini golf for miles around. Fun course. $5-7 per person. Took tweens for a social distancing bday party. Had a great time. Snacks available.
Really great movie theater. It is one of the best places I bring my family to.
Low key & good prices. My fav movie theater
Great little place to have some family fun pretty much any day of the week. There are two different mini putput courses with a concession both with drinks and candy. Normally there is also a cinema and a Wirley Ball place open as well. Covid I believe currently has those things shutdown.
Surprisingly nice theater. Good seats and clean location. Typical over priced popcorn and snacks (what do you expect?) But the ticket prices were fair and the theater was comfortable with good screens and sound.
This is hands down my favorite movie spot. Locally owned, low priced, and very clean. I dont mind driving 30 minutes just to go here. Would recommend to anyone.
This place is amazing! They have the best everything... service, snacks, seats, bathrooms, amenities, you name it. Best prices too. Very family friendly.
Mini golf course was lacking. I have been to many mini golf courses as I enjoy them immensely and this one is subpar. I paid for both courses which ended up being almost the same with little to no variation. It’s a lot of straight on the green and definitely not worth the money for both. It’s adequate if you’re with small kids but I recommend going somewhere else for a more adventurous experience.
Best theater in the area. Best workers and management. Very friendly. Full service theater but it has a nice smaller town feel.Also excellent baked treats, made in-house.
Mini Golf is pretty nice and good value, but there is not much more to do close by only the cinema.
This is a terrific place to see movies! The attention to detail is spectacular. They even give you free mints when you were leaving the theater.
Definitely the best spot to see a movie. The customer service is amazing. The theaters are always clean, and prices are very reasonable. Better still, they have bakery cookies. :)
Great putt-putt golf courses! They are clean, colorful and updated! They also decorate for the season which makes it fun too. The movie pricing is average and theaters are ok. Love the kids snack (popcorn, drink, fruit snacks) option. Also, the people who work there have always been very friendly!
Love this theater! Great service, staff is super friendly, affordable ticket prices and refills on drinks during your movie. Cant beat the value!
Great atmosphere, fun golf course. A little hot outside but its worth the heat we were cooking on the course! Great place, highly recommend
A lovely theater with comfortable seats spacious theaters, good sound, and exceptionally nice staff. A very good value for your money and time
Clean and friendly staff! Cookies are great!
This is my favorite movie theatre. The prices are reasonable, the employees are friendly, and the facility is clean. My family and I will go to other theaters for various reasons but enjoy Aurora more. It boils down to the fact the they just try harder. I was very happy to support them on small business Saturday.
Lovely independent theater. Inexpensive tickets, clean, good picture and sound quality with friendly staff. The perfect location to catch the latest films!
I have come to this location on and off for over 20 years to watch movies, and they never disappoint. Good ticket prices always, and in recent years an updated theater layout.
Great place to see the latest movies. The concessions are very affordable as are the ticket prices. Locally owned and operated.
This is OUR theater. We go to this place for every midnight showing that we see, but particularly for Star Wars. They always make everything so fun. Their prices are unbeatable and their service is amazing. This place is a gem.
Family-run 4k theater and mini golf, very involved with the community. Best movie value in North Fulton. Super friendly staff. Place shines for the little touches, like the free mints leaving the theater. They go ALL OUT for the big Marvel or Lucasfilm premieres, bringing in the 501st Legion or Marvel characters in full costume, and the owners come to greet the crowd in costume on premiere night.This place beats any corporate overpriced mall theater hands down.
I get its a venue for family fun, but it was almost too childish when I drove up from Atlanta and was told the thunderstorms had closed down play. I understand it had rained earlier today but it had been dry for about 3 hours at this point and my forecasts all showed no more rain until after midnight. Extremely disappointing to have wasted the gas. The course looked really fun and the movie theater was a good value but I dont know if Im willing to make the long drive up again if theyre gonna close just because its cloudy outside.
Intimate, clean movie theater with some of the best pricing around. Top it off with some mini-golf and other fun attractions next door and youve got a great local gem.
Always an amazing experience. Great employees, clean theater and restrooms, and the best prices around! 10/10
After looking at prices and show times for a specific movie, we stumbled across this theater, and I’m so excited we did. Not only were the show prices notably less than others, it was such a positive experience. Free refills and a genuine staff really make this place stand out. I can’t wait to visit again. This local business is a step above all the big chains.
Thank you for making my little boys night! We arrived late and my little one was so disappointed and started crying. One of the guys walked over to him with a club and a ball and told him to go for it. He was over the moon and loved playing! Thank you again for going above and beyond that evening!
I love this place. Tuesdays are $2 off ticket prices and Popcorn Wednesdays. Very affordable and family friendly.
Awesome place, amazing movie and speaker quality, awesome staff and the owners are super sweet and cool. 10/10 would definitely recommend!
Really really decent mini golf... There are some semi challenging holes, but this place is more for family fun, or people who are just looking to have a laid back and fun experience... With this summer heat they have some sunbrellas out for some shade, staff was friendly also. My girlfriend and I went, and had a blast 🤗 we are still working on finding a favorite putt putt place, but this place is pretty high up on the list, and we wouldnt definitely come back 😊
Great cookies and brownies. The cream in the snickerdoodle cookie sandwich is very good and fresh. My favorite is the oatmeal cookie.
Love this place.....very economical compared to other theaters. Staff is very friendly and seem glad you are there. Love the self refills on drinks and refill of all popcorn!! Tuesday is the day to go if you can.....$2.00 off tickets and popcorn combo! Restrooms are always clean, which is a plus! Only negative is bathrooms so far from theaters at end of hall. Should be one in the middle of all theaters.
I love how it so close by where I live, but I also like the service and staffs friendly attitude. Great price on tickets, golf course and snacks. Very nice place.
Alex in guest relations went out of his way to make us feel appreciated when we came to play mini golf but werent able to play due to lightning risk. It was out 1st time visiting and he made sure we left with coupons to come back. It was impressive how much the staff wanted us to have a good time and come back.
Nice place to see a movie. Its comfortable, clean, and inexpensive.
There are so many good things about this place that I will have to itemize my review:The movie theater-The theaters are modern, very clean, and comfortable. The prices are reasonable and the concession stand has a good variety of foods. The drinks come with unlimited refills! The popcorn (regardless of size) comes with a free refill, and they have like 6 different flavored popcorn shakers in addition to the normal liquid butter stuff. After every movie the staff offers you a mint on the way out. Also, we got a coupon for 20% off Mellow Mushroom with our ticket stub. It is nice to see local business owners starting cooperative stuff like that.Mini golf-I have less experience with the mini golf than the theaters, but the course is clean, well-maintained, and challenging (but I suck at mini golf). There is no smoking allowed on the course, which is nice. They keep a supply of small prizes for kids who get hole-in-ones.The whole Area 51 complex reminds of the fun centers I would go to as a kid. The owners have taken StarTime, which was a dump, and made it great. It is locally and independently owned, which is also cool. I would give this place 6 stars if I could.
Love this place! i have been coming here since theyve opened. staff is amazing and fun and am always able to see a movie without them being sold out. great prices for tickets for popcorn for mini golf. great overall!
Its an inexpensive movie theater when you go early. Just make sure you take a jacket with you we can get chilly in there! I was in there one night and it was freezing! So I guess it depends on which theater youre sitting in I dont know. Dont get me lying I just know that I was freezing when I went to see GLASS. They do have miniature golf two different courses. You can do 1 or you can do both. I dont remember the prices call before you go and just enjoy yourself!
We played 18 holes of mini golf at The Fringe. There are two courses so you can do one or both. They are compact, so not much walking is required. The price is also very reasonable, so it makes for a good option with kids. A fun way to fill in an hour or two, then visit any of the great restaurants in the Roswell area.
Great affordable theater! One of the only ones Ive ever been to actually
I love the old school movie theater feel, the staff is always exceptionally friendly, they even hand out mints as your leaving the show. The prices just cant be beat, its always clean. I just cant say enough good things about this place. Love it!
Mini-golf was a great thing to do just before the movie! Took a date there and it was an easy way to break the ice, get to know each other and start talking. Kids are there, of course, but its really not an issue. Theater seats were comfortable, and you could easily put up the arm to hold hands or snuggle up.
I really like this theater! The last two times Ive been here were good. Friendly staff, clean family restroom, good priced tickets an concessions. The only thing I wasnt crazy about was the popcorn last trip it was freshly popped but tasted old! But hey it was only $3 and we added putt putt golf for only $5 more. I will be back.....😁
Excellent customer service! Last time we were there was had pre purchased putt putt tickets and we were rained out. They gave us multiple free passes and gave us a discount for the concessions stand. Will definitely be going back next time Im in GA!
Really cool concept and place. Who doesnt like movies and mini golf! They play more adult type movies in the evenings, during the day there are more kid movies. At least it was like that while school was out. Still love the place! Went there for a field trip with a daycare and then another time with friends. Awesome place definitely recommend.
My kids (12 &14) love this place. I also find that the prices are reasonable: concessions and tickets - even for new-release movies. Its not new & shiny, but it is nice & clean. The staff have always been friendly & helpful, too.
Ill be blunt; considering the area, I really thought this place would be a run down dive, and every movie would be something that hit real theaters months earlier. What I wanted to see was showing there, and I didnt feel like going to North Pointe, so we drove to Aurora. I must say Im glad to be so wrong about a place. It was clean, the movies are first rate, the staff was pleasant, the prices were very reasonable, and the facility was top notch. I highly recommend this theater.
This is my favorite theater... Reasons why... extremely kind staff, clean, good food and wholesome.When was the last time anyone thanked you for your business or an usher greeted you before the trailers started. Plus they have miniature golf....Side note: They gave my mom flowers for mothers day!
This place rocks. My kids love coming here. Great prices on movies and deals during the week. They love the mini golf, which is also very affordable for families. Love it here.
Affordable, and friendly staff. I really enjoy coming with my family to this cinema.. and my family enjoys too.
Went to see Cruella at the cinema. Great movie, btw. Area 51 looked like a really fun place. Got there too late for their mini golf
I LOVE coming here! I love the hometime touches that the owner Scott adds. The theater is clean, comfortable and the associates are always friendly and helpful. The mini golf is so clean and the decorations for holidays are adorable, i.e. Halloween! I love supporting this family owned business in Roswell and will always chose it over the chains. And I always look forward to the mints they give out at the end of each movie!
Great place for a cheaper movie with more seating than other nearby theatres.
Every time we go to the movie at Aurora it is the best of everything. The price is not like other movie theaters, everyone can afford to go even the people that are crunching on money like we are. The staff are all friendly and you are happy to see them to because they make you fill like they like being there too. The seats are clean and so is the rest of the theater. If they had lunches and food that you could eat out there I dont think I would ever leave.
This was a very fun Mini Golf place. I would suggest this place to anyone.
My husband and I have been going here for 4 years now. The best place for a movie or Putt-Putt!!
I have no complaints about this place. Its apparently locally owned and operated. Theyre open to feedback or ideas. Great staff. Never over-crowded.
Two courses, one pirate themed and the other mine themed. The set pieces for both were very nice and they were both well maintained.Parking was a breeze. You have to go to the movie theatre counter to pay and get your balls and putters.
Love this theater and the mini golf course. The inside of the theater could be more clean but overall great experience.
Not the latest n greatest movie facilities, but its less expensive than other theaters and is clean. The staff is welcoming and very friendly. The mini golf was clean, well-maintained, and fun as well.
Great deals and ticket prices. Fun local theater
First the place is awesome the crew is extremely nice and polite always happy to bring a smile to your face I tell all my friends and I bring a lot of them to see a movie. Prices are reasonable a lot of good offers on mini golf popcorns private events always the best movies
Awesome older theater. Not crowded. They have great homemade baked concessions and a mini-golf course too!
Great place for afternoon movie watching. They have a senior discountIs like a bogo. Buy one get one. Place is a little older them some, yet very clean.
Amazing theater, family friendly, great popcorn, and low prices for tickets and food.
Good locally owned movie theater with very low prices
I didnt know going to see first run movies could be so affordable or pleasant. This theatre goes above and beyond with lower ticket prices, extremely friendly staff (they even offer mints after the show!) clean, comfortable theatres, and a wonderful family friendly atmosphere. I never expected a theatre to have such high standards, but now that we have been spoiled at Area 51, my husband and I dont go anywhere else.
Great movie theater and one of the few family owned ones left
Nice local theater. Friendly people, great concessions. Affordable for families.
Beautiful courses & reasonably priced! Definitely going back.
Big comfy seats, facilities as good as any other theater that Ive been too. But the best thing was Cole, an enthusiastic employee who got up in front of the audience and reminded us to turn off our cell phones and about upcoming attractions. It was a nice personal touch. Not a lot of people have what it takes to pull that off, but like my husband noted, the kids got charisma. :) I would suggest changing the line about cleaning up after us to something like well, not YOU, but you know, those OTHER people who drop their popcorn on the floor.
My family and I had such a great time going to the midnight showing of Labyrinth. We played mini golf before the movie while listening to David Bowie (they thought of everything). The staff was in costumes and had a brief introduction before the movie that was hilarious (very funny and friendly staff!). We drove an hour from Cartersville and it was so worth it, we cant wait to go again. I really was impressed by how wonderful the staff was. My 15 year old commented on the way out that wasnt a movie, it was an experience. She was right!
If u are looking to save some money this is the best theater to go to. I have 3 children n childrens friend.
Love this theater. It is clean. The popcorn is great! The prices are good and the cookies are amazing!Only reason why I gave it a 4, it is sometimes freezing cold...so I being a jacket or small blanket. Staff for the most part are friendly and helpful!
Always a great time, friendly staff and nice clean theater
Very great place to play mini-golf with friends and family. Both courses are excellent and very well maintained and managed. I highly recommend visiting this course. The theater area is also very nice, overall, this place is fantastic place to visit! 10/10!
Great movie theater! This place is so great. The staff is friendly and so helpful. They allow refills on medium and large soda and popcorn. The always have enough staff to keep the lines short and quick. I like that they have one line for tickets and snacks. Highly recommend!
Good alternative to watch movies on a budget. Amc had the show i was looking for but very less seats and pricey so opted for movie here. Couldnt try the mini golf due to rain, maybe next time 😊
Played 18 holes of miniature golf @ The Fringe and it was spectacular! Level of difficulty is medium in my opinion which makes it fun and competitive, great for an entire family!
My favorite place to go see movies for a good price
We enjoy this neighborhood cinema. Always very personable staff. We live the brownies and cookies. And we never have a problem getting a seat.
I think Aurora is great! The staff is nice, all the theatres are clean, and the brownies are great. However like most theatres it is pricy Id estimate that it will run an average viewer $12 to $20. If you are in Roswell I advise seeing a movie here.
Go early or buy your tickets at the kiosk because they only have 2 registers open and they take awhile. But besides that, the theater is really clean and the staff is really friendly. Prices overall are really adorable!!!
A comfortable movie theater. Rather difficult to find if youre not familiar with the business complex.
Cool its like any movie theater great service and everything
There is not a better theater in the area. It is a little off the main road behind the shopping center it is in, but has plenty of convenient parking. Also every other similar facility in the area is dingy and run down compared to this hidden gem.Instead of paying almost $50 for tickets and concessions like most theaters, the wife and I are able to get the same there for about $35.Finally their staff are not the normal jerk teenagers who hate their jobs and just want to leave. They are kind, courteous, and above all very friendly.If you live along GA400north of the perimeter, there its no other theater better than this one.
Nice Theater, friendly staff. The mini golf is OK until you finish the final hole and realize it is designed to keep your ball. Get a couple of you plan to play for a long time.
This is the only theater my family goes to. The prices are great, the concessions have free refills, the staff is always friendly and I love going to opening nights of big movies the excitement is contagious and the personal intros to the movie are a fantastic touch. The family atmosphere makes this a special place. I also love that it is a family run local business.
I was so welcome there Im from Texas it was my first visit to the movies there. The young employees were so respectful and encouraging. I love how big the theatre screen is and the service impeccable. Will go again loved it.
Fun courses, relatively well maintained. There is a old west side and a pirate side, although they are essentially the same with different theming. Employees are friendly though!
Was a great place to watch a movie. Friendly Staff and clean theater.
I called today and a live human being answered on the first ring! Refreshing to get quick answers to a quick question. Nuf said. Also a great local theater!
Lots of fun, but I think the greens arent very level. My ball get circling around the hole or bouncing out of the hole!
Very chilly in the back theaters, and a bit of sound leaking. over all though its a really great theater.
I loved the prices, concessions was so affordable we usually can’t buy popcorn and drinks because the tickets are so high, but here an entire family can enjoy popcorn and drinks for $13.25....amazing! They had several things for the children to enjoy outside. It was a great family night out!
It is a very nice theater with considerably low prices on movies.
4K projectors, clean and up to date facilities, friendly and helpful staff. I drive from the Norcross/Duluth area just to go to this theater. Great ticket pricing as well. Cant beat the price for the experience you get at this theater.
Nice theater and great prices during the summer mornings for kids!
Awesome place best popcorn i have ever had friendly staff great homemade cookies melt in your mouth. And with a movie what else can i say but the best . and did i say it is locally owned . that did it for me will not go anywhere but here !!!!!
Great family owned theater. Free refills on popcorn and drinks. Great seats and a wonderful staff. Will be back. Support small business!
My favorite movie theater. Locally owned, cheaper prices than the chains, friendly staff, great deals. Some of the theaters are 4K so its not like youre going to a run down complex. Give it a try if you havent been...
Love this theater! Lots of fun, great specials and events, and affordable!
This was my first time visiting this theater even though ive lived in the area 3 years. The price was great and even though it was opening night of a major film there was still plenty of room. There was some sort of host guy telling jokes and fun facts to the crowd when we walked in. If you dont have to have special seats and other fancy things for your movie going experience then this place is a good option for you.
Nice family run business, staff is friendly and great movie choices.
A great indie theater where the staff is consistently friendly, the venue is always clean and well-kept, the popcorn tastes great, and the overall atmosphere is wonderful.
Independently owned, inexpensive movies, popcorn and drink refills, and excellent staff. How they treat customers makes it hard to go anywhere else.
Old theater made new. Very good service.
We have always had a great experience here. Very good prices, clean, friendly staff.
Nice and clean. The lobby looks a little chaotic upon walking in. Line might seem long, but they work rather efficiently. Restrooms are well kept.The only down part is that the seats in the theater are somewhat uncomfortable, though they do lean back and you have lots of leg room.
Awesome place. One of the best tasting popcorns out there. And the put-put is a HUGE plus!
A movie for 2 with snacks was $20! Sign me up for another date night. It was clean and there are other fun activities at this place. It is well maintained and the price point is fantastic!
Love that we have a locally owned great theater here in Roswell. Sound is fanatic and it makes a difference that the staff really cares. Great place!
Top notch. Great staff, comfy seats & great movie.
Best movie theater in the area!
Great little theatre with a family feel and atmosphere.
Great family fun! We had a great time and stayed to play both courses.
Love going here with my son to see limited or late run inexpensive movies. Also a fun, reasonably priced round of minigolf. The only complaint is occasionally with service, not in the front, but in more than one occasion I had to speak with the staff upfront because no one had actually started playing the scheduled movie.
Great customer service, very well run place. All attractions and concessions are nice.
Great mini golf course. 2 beautiful 18 hole courses to choose from. Reasonable rates. Good times.
This place is just cool. They make it feel like it isnt a mainstream movie theater. Something just feels a little more warm and a little less corporate, and it adds to the experience of going through the movies. Other theaters feel like filing into airplane seats now.
Its a movie theater like no other in Atlanta area. Very fancy and very affordable. You have refills in your drinks and popcorn. Seats are very comfortable. Theres a mini golf course that cost only $5 if you watch a movie the same day. Its highly recommended
Great place for movies and recreation with mini golf etc. Pleasure to hang around in summer with activities planned all through the calendar dates. Wonderful place for all the latest Hollywood and the Bollywood movies.
I came prepared with my squadron of Kyles, strapped with Monster energy drinks... We realized quickly, just as our Monster tanks were rolling up that this is the wrong Area 51 and the government is holding aliens here. We stayed for putput and a movie, it was great.
Ive been going here for movies for years. Its my favorite movie theater and I can always count on great prices for tickets and snacks. The staff is fantastic at their work and strive to make the movie a hood experience. The theater is always decorated when bug movies like Star Wars or new superhero movies come out. Its fun and family friendly. The best.
Love this place! Best movie prices in town.
Always good to support the locals!Staff is always friendly and professional, they sell fresh baked goods that are delicious, special discounts every week, restrooms are always spotless and a great atmosphere overall.Only thing missing is some reclining seats.
Nice atmospheric look, relatively well priced, with some decent snack and theater food, most of it under $5. Love the matinee deals on Thursdays for a cheaper viewing easy on the pockets. Some of the chairs could be a bit more comfortable, but overall a great place to go to catch a movie.
Great prices and great movie props around the place.
This is my happy place. I love coming here to get away from my life if only for a couple hours and come out feeling good. The only reason I gave a 4 star rating is because sometimes the popcorn is stale and the soda machines break. The manager accepts all complaints. As a result I have been a repeat customer for years!
Nice, out of the way cinema that isnt too crowded and has great ticket price
Awesome place to see new movies cheap
Great mom and pop theater with cozy screening rooms. Tickets are only like 8 bucks and there is no reserved seating
Family owned, Great Prices, Popular Movies & the best popcorn! My husband and I go every Friday night. Thank you
Always a good time! Great snacks and friendly staff. Theater itself was a little dirty though popcorn all over the floor and the seats were stained. I went to the first show of the day so totally didnt epect that.
Great place. They have a part of the movie theater a mini golf course. The team is friendly and they have ten theaters. There is no sit selection, but they have great infrastructure. You can by tickets online or on an automatic machine at the theater or at concessions.
Both courses are fun and a bit challenging. Its 9 bucks for one round, but only 13 for 2 rounds
This was my first time at Aurora. I really liked how personal the staff was. The prices were good. I would definitely come back.
Very nice place to take kids to the movies.
Bar none the best deal in movies in the North Atlanta area. Unlimited drink and Icee refills, fresh made baked items, cheaper ticket prices, 4k projectors, clean and pleasant help. Plus putt-putt. Cannot be beat for movie entertainment.
Great theater. Good popcorn. Great sound.
This was our go-to theater for the four years we lived in Roswell and we miss it so much. The staff is always so friendly and engaging, the cost of tickets and refreshments is very reasonable, and its always clean! We love Aurora Cineplex and I highly recommend it.
There was a special movie opening there.A lot of folks.Great time.

2022-05-24This locally owned theater is our theater of choice! Reasonably priced, comfy seats (though standard, not reclining like so many new places), nice variety of movies and times. Employees are always friendly and they often host fun events for premieres or other occasions. The cookies from concessions are great!

2022-04-17We love this cinema, its clean. Quick and easy. Its fist come first serve. So we get our tickets from kiosk, get our refillable popcorn and rinks, and go find the best seats. Prices are economic, and chairs are comfortable.

2022-06-26Great place for a movie and mini golf. My family loved it and it isnt that expensive. I recommend going at 9 because the course is lit up and it not so hot. Enjoy. We got 4 hole in 1s . What can you get...

2022-06-03Honestly the worst movie theatre experience I’ve ever had (although it seems this is not typical of this place.) for starters, the air was not working in the theatre our movie was in. It was miserably hot and humid in the theatre, many people complained but no resolution or communication came of it. The place smelled musty.Also, the movie theatre popcorn is the main reason I love movies and it just tasted…off.Lucky for them top gun was AMAZING so it kept me distracted and entertained.I will say, the price is right for this place. But I would rather pay more for the comfier seats and air conditioning 🤷🏻♀️ Will definitely not go back to this theatre.

2022-04-13The place is clean and the staff are all very friendly every time that I’ve been there. The seats in the theater are also very comfortable. And the prices are good too. All around it has been a great experience every time I’ve gone.

2022-06-15I have enjoyed Area 51 for almost 8 years. My kids like the movie theater and also the miniature golf. But today I will have to give Area 51 only 3 stars because the manager subjectively closed miniature golf due to the heat. I walked up to the outside window where I usually pay for golf but the sign said please pay for golf inside. I walked inside and up to the concessions area and asked an employee for a round of golf. Just as I was pulling out my wallet the manager (older female who looked hurried) stopped and said, Miniature golf is closed. Its 100 degrees out there. I think that is what she said. She blurted her decision out as she zipped past and disappeared into the managers office. The employee just stood there not knowing what to say. I turned around and left. As I exited I saw a mother with 3 young boys walk up to the outside pay window. Her boys looked excited to be able to play but alas the manager stopped that fun in its tracks. So, Area 51 lost 5 paying customers in 2 minutes. Why does it matter how hot it is outside? Is that not the risk a customer owns? Did not the mother decide its OK for her 3 young boys to be out in the heat for an hour? Is this not Georgia in June? Is this weather unexpected? Did the manager have to stand outside and supervise us? Did she have to turn on any lights or waterfalls? There is nothing complicated about hitting a ball into a cup. I give Area 51 3 stars because I may not understand why golf was closed. Liability for heat stroke? Please let me know the logic and I will gladly come back again and again. Thank you.

2022-05-07We usually never have problems with this movie theater until today. They were very rude. Young lady had an attitude when we continuously asked nicely. If I could give it zero stars I would. Aurora staff do better.

2022-04-16I have been coming here for many years and never have had a bad experience. Until today. Simply I was practicing my putting on their FREE putting green and my friends were laughing and hanging out nearby. Then, a worker came up to me and demanded that I give my ball and club back. I had done nothing but practiced. She said that I had been messing around and throwing my club. Again, I had not. I again told her I wasn’t, I was just practicing and she told me to get lost. I lost my extra time because of an incompetent worker. I will not be returning. If you go here don’t play putt-putt, ‘It seems you will be called out for acting up when simply playing putt-putt.

2022-05-28Absolute ghastly experience. The hot dog I got, that I was told I needed to wait for them to cook (which I had no issue with) turned out cold. Thats whatever, I wasnt missing the opening of the movie to haggle over that. However, when paying their card machine was clearly problematic and required me to swipe my card multiple times. At one point I was even told the transaction declined. Well, clearly not. I finalized my payment and went about my way. However, following the movie I recognized I had three pending charges for the same amount. Thinking the pending charges would drop off after a couple days, I thought little of it. They did not. They finalized the next morning. Upon calling the theater I was told without coming in (which would cost an additional $30 in uber to get there and back) and showing a receipt since thrown away, there was nothing they could could do. The charges totaled $96.75. Absolutely unacceptable.

2022-06-28Aurora Cineplex is AMAZING!!! The team at Aurora Cineplex go far beyond what is expected for your typical movie going experience to really make every guest feel special and taken care of. The staff is professional, kind and very attentive. Aurora Cineplex creates one of a kind experiences through out the year to promote the films of the time. For instance, I have seen guests greeted in the lobby by actors dressed in full movie accurate Ghostbuster attire and posing with fans for photos during the showing of the Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Another time fans were treated to an entire pre-show performance for Jurassic Park World Dominion that included a cast dressed in Jurassic Park attire and a legit velociraptor ( BLUE ) performer!!! Not every day is a BIG performance day at Aurora Cineplex, but rest assured you will always be treated with the top most level of customer service and walk away happy you made the choice to see a movie there. Aurora Cineplex has brough the magic and excitement back to the cinema experience.Also, the in-house bakery is an incredible bonus. The cookies are phenomenal and to be honest... I pick up a baker dozen every time Im there to enjoy later with friends and family.
