ADA Seating & Companion Pass:

Regal Entertainment Group theatres are handicap accessible. All seating designated as “handicapped” with the familiar wheelchair symbol is reserved for the disabled and their companions.
Guests attending our theatres in an assistant/companion role for one of our guests with disabilities may be passed in by management.

However, our admission policies may be modified periodically as necessary to ensure, to the extent possible, the safety of our guests. We acknowledge that this procedure can cause some inconvenience and that it is not without flaws, but hope these are minor in comparison to increased safety.

Skateboards and Hoverboards:

In the interest of safety in the lobby and auditoriums, skateboards and hover boards are not allowed on theatre property. These boards can cause slip, trip and fall hazards for our guests as well as our staff. Management cannot hold these items for guests and guests will be asked to remove them from the theatre entirely.
