Cinesphere, Geodesic dome movie theater at Ontario Place, Toronto, Canada
The spherical Cinesphere structure features an aluminum alloy triodetic dome measuring 35 meters wide, housing a large-format IMAX projection system with a 24-meter-wide screen.
The Cinesphere opened in 1971 as the first permanent IMAX movie theater worldwide, following the successful multi-channel film technology introduced at Expo 67 in Montreal.
The Cinesphere screens educational films and entertainment content, utilizing both IMAX 70mm film and digital laser projection systems in its 614-seat auditorium.
Located at 955 Lake Shore Boulevard West, visitors can reach the theater via TTC seasonal route 121D from Union Station or through Exhibition GO Station.
The floating exhibition pods surrounding the Cinesphere connect through elevated walkways, forming an artificial archipelago on Lake Ontario south of Exhibition Place.
