What better way to see some of the biggest movies coming out this year than by seeing them on the biggest movie screen in Indiana?

I am a huge movie buff. This year has seen quite a few great blockbusters already, and we know that there are several more to come in 2025.  Anytime a big Hollywood blockbuster comes out, I always tend to see it in the IMAX theater here in Evansville, Indiana. Watching a movie in a theater like that is really special. In a way, it makes you feel like you are immersed in the world that you are watching on the big screen. You can't get that same feeling watching a movie from the comfort of your own couch. While the IMAX screen at my local theater is massive, it's still not the biggest movie screen in the state of Indiana. In fact, after doing a little research, I have found the biggest movie screen in Indiana, and I'm making it a point to someday see a movie there.

Where is the Biggest Movie Screen in Indiana?

We have a lot of movie theaters scattered all throughout the state, but none of them have a screen as big as the IMAX Theater is located in Indianapolis, inside the Indiana State Museum at White River State Park. This thing is MASSIVE, and it is a moviegoer's ultimate experience in Indiana! We are talking about a movie screen that is 60 feet tall and 80 feet wide! That's about the size of a basketball court.

According to White River State Park:

The IMAX Theater inside the Indiana State Museum at White River State Park provides you with a larger-than-life escape, putting you in the middle of the action on Indiana’s largest movie screen (towering over six stories tall).

 

I never would have expected to find the largest movie screen in Indiana inside a museum, but it is! The IMAX Theater page on the White River State Park website goes on to say:

The Theater offers traditional world-class IMAX® films (generally 45-minutes to 1-hour documentaries) in both 2D and stunning IMAX® 3D. You will also experience IMAX® DMR(digitally re-mastered) Hollywood blockbusters played in the most advanced film format in the world (15/70 mm and 35 mm prints) and IMAX® digital presentations.

 

Of course, if you live in that area and have been to the IMAX Theater inside the Indiana State Museum at White River State Park, this is nothing special for you. However, folks like me who have never been to that theater before would be like a kid in a candy store.
