Cinesphere, Geodesic dome movie theater at Ontario Place, Toronto, Canada
The Cinesphere is a spherical movie theater housed in an aluminum dome structure at Ontario Place. The hall seats around 614 people and displays films on an enormous screen using advanced projection technology.
The building opened in 1971 as the world's first permanent large-format movie theater. This new technology built on experiences from a world's fair, where such films were first presented to audiences.
The theater presents films that take audiences on journeys through science, history, and nature. This format of large-scale film presentation shapes how visitors encounter stories here.
The theater sits along the shore of Lake Ontario and is easily reached by public transit. Check film schedules ahead of time and plan your arrival accordingly for the best visit experience.
The building was an innovation that transformed film technology and was copied worldwide afterward. Many people visit specifically to see how this pioneering concept works.
