Polar Express Pulling Into NMNH
Thanks to a local mom for tipping me off about the cool IMAX event at the National Museum of Natural History this Sunday the 18th! They'll be showing The Polar Express 3D at 7 p.m. Proceeds will provide scholarships allowing deserving young children to attend the Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center (SEEC).
We're talking screen-size five stories high, 10 sleighs wide, and IMAX 3-D. The Polar Express 3D is 99 minute feature film based on the Caldecott medal-winning children's book by Chris Van Allsburg. It is rated G and features the voice of Tom Hanks.
Tickets are $15/each and can be purchased in advance at any Smithsonian Theaters box office, or by calling 202.633.IMAX (4629). Pre-booking is recommended, and all proceeds benefit the SEEC Scholarship Fund.
Complimentary companion books based on the film will be given to each ticket holder. This screening is open to all, so spread the word!
When you arrive on Sunday evening, please enter through the Constitution Ave. doors and let the guards know you are coming to see the film. The IMAX Theater lobby is on the first level, above the cafe in the Natural History Museum. Tix are on sale now!
