Loved coming here. It is a quaint clean theater in a great area.

My friend and I were a few minutes late to the last night showing of "It." We went to the window to order our tickets and were told they were closed. The employees claimed their register and ticket printer were automatically closed out at 10:00pm. So an industry that depends on concession sales closes the concession stand for the entirety of their last movie? Uh huh. So there is no recourse for people who are even ONE MINUTE LATE to their movie? Some of us like to skip the previews and show up a few minutes before the actual film starts; guess that Park Cinemas doesn't care about us. I won't be returning to Park Cinemas and I will be telling my friends and family not to either. read more

Park Cinemas - Cinema Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Small town feel, staff is super friendly and helpful. I have only had great experiences here. Very kid friendly to take a group. Dealt with the GM for a birthday party.. he was awesome. Great service is so appreciated. We will be back! read more

We had a great experience renting a private screen. It was so nice to kick back and enjoy the big screen again. The staff and owner where all so nice and friendly, it was very refreshing. read more

I love this theater. Been going on and off for years. Has a great selection of new movies and the snack bar has a good selection with various icees which is nice. Bathrooms are pretty clean, and the seats are the older regular seats, not the new lounge stadium seating, but they're still comfortable. I love the ample parking and the fact that it's in the best location near many great spots to eat and an adorable park. read more

Theater is clean but staff isn't friendly, husband and I went to ask about a showing with some coffee n our hands and the girl there was very rude about us not being able to take it in.... ok? Chill we were just asking for show times, also made a big fuzz about upgrading from S to M combo because she didn't want to waste any popcorn tubs? I understand but don't be rude about it... I might as well start making the extra drive to the theater in Atascadero read more

Disappointed in this place, they don't have Closed Caption, I called and asked they said " we don't have to honor that and the owners don't want to spend that money to make that happen." I spend over $100 each time my family of 5 goes and we go three times a week, and for two of my family members not able to enjoy a movie, not worth it. Galaxy has closed caption. read more

This is a great little theater. Clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. Service and selection are top notch, the best regular entertainment to be had in Paso. read more

Friendly, small-town theater. We watched "Monsters U." there on July 7, 2013 at around 10pm, and the theater was quite empty for that particular movie. We enjoyed our out-of-town movie experience. read more

I never visit home without seeing at least one movie at Park Cinemas. Great screens, totally comparable to high end, trendy LA movies theaters at almost half the price! Not to mention the small town feel and extremely friendly staff. The general manager is such a sweetheart and will always make sure everything is to the customer's satisfaction which I always appreciate! Annnnd They have cotton candy! I love it! read more

It's pretty good, nothing overwhelming. Prices are high for all of there stuff, but what else are you going to do? Driving to Atascadero wouldn't be much better. read more

This place is like the Tardis of movie theaters. It may look small on the outside, but it is definitely very big on the inside! This place was fairly spacious and while I don't know if I would call the seating inside the theater as 'stadium seating', it was still very comfortable. The screens were clean with no tears (which was nice) and instead of a carpeted floor it was linoleum. I thought that was amazing and genius for the staff that had to do clean-up after the show was over. I came in at a weird hour and barely any people were inside so I can't comment on how they handle long lines and the speed, but the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The bathrooms were very clean as well. They weren't necessarily very well stocked, but for a smaller theater it exceeded my expectations aka it wasn't dingy. read more

Dopey, sad, unkempt staff, I know they are all high schoolers, but still.... They have a few screens with stadium seating which is nice. But this place still feels like...well, what it is, a small town cinema. If that's what you are looking for, you will find it here. I am not a huge fan of the old squished together seats, the small screens, and the staff that come into the theater during the middle of a film to "check on things" all the time. It's the only place in town so it can get super crowded. Prices are decent and they accept credit/debit now, thank goodness. I avoid coming here at all costs. Head to Atascadero to Galaxy theater if you want better screen size, more comfortable seats and a wider selection of films. read more

I give five stars and this is why... Cleanliness: This is important to me at any theater. Things appeared to be clean and tidy and the bathrooms were also clean... big plus in my book! The chairs appeared to be clean and the carpets were clean. Employees: The team of employees at the cinema are very helpful and run a good ship. Saying "Thank you" to us as we spend our hard earned dollar is important! Location: We can choose any location but Downtown Paso Robles is a beautiful location to enjoy a movie, dinner, and some dessert! The park is just outside the theater and a nice stroll through the park after a romantic movie is a big plus! We saw 100 Foot Journey! My wife loved it and the walk through the park was nice! Sound system: Having been in a band and run audio visual events in my youth, the sound is so important to me. I am not certain as to what type of system they are running, however I am certain that it sounds GREAT! I believe it is a THX certified facility. I vaguely remember the THX symbol at the beginning of the previews. Picture: We had a slight issue with the picture. The digital system glitched a couple of times. The manager of the theater came to apologize to the audience, fixed the problem and issued movie passes to all the movie goers in the theater. It was a slight disruption, however the professionalism of the manager and the staff person meeting us at the door upon our exit, handing us ticket vouchers made us feel valued! Slight issue... professionalism made up for it! Overall: I recommend this theater for two(2) reasons... 1. Location: Paso Robles downtown is a beautiful place to visit and the options for food and dessert is plentiful. Having the park outside the front doors of the theater make a romantic movie with your wife that much more romantic! 2. Professionalism: The team seems to truly care about their facility, movie quality, and their reputation. The staff is nicely dressed and "thank you's" are a plus! TIP: They allow you to bring in Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory which is located to the north of the theater entrance. Try RMCF sugar free almond clusters! read more

How many times a year can you raise a ticket price? The ushers come through and open the door at least once throughout a movie to stand and watch the movie?! Even if they are there to make sure nothing shady is going on, I don't appreciate the disruption. I guess I have higher standards than most movie goers but I would rather drive 30 miles to the next theater than go here. read more

The snack bar here was well stocked and clean. Prices are high, but that was to be expected since it is a movie theater. Seating was okay, A little cramped. Not really anything special here. It was just your typical movie theater. read more

I made the drive from SLO to Paso for this theater once because my boss had given me free tickets. Overall I thought it was an ok theater, and it's probably the best place to see movies in northern SLO county. There are a large number of screens, and most of the really mainstream hits are here. Unfortunately they don't seem to show anything even slightly offbeat. Like most mainstream theaters the food and drinks were a bit overpriced. The interior of Park Cinemas was clean, and the seats were pretty comfortable, with a nice, large screen to see my movies. The only real complaint I have about the inside is that we were there on one of the hottest weekends of the summer, and I didn't think the theater was quite cool enough. I probably wouldn't make the drive from SLO to see movies here I can see in SLO without free tickets, but for those who live closer this is a decent place to watch the latest hit movie. read more

the movie was pretty pricey for the average theater. It was a decent theater in my opinion, nothing special. Concessions were averaged price for a theater, which is expensive. Popcorn was a bit stale. Limited number of movies were being shown. We showed up early, I was very surprised to find that there was absolutely no seating in the theater.... We went to wait outside until we could go in. Someone was great enough to let us know when we could go in. Overall, alright. read more

Great service and great seats! I usually stay away from public restrooms but had to use it here. I was surprised at how clean it was! Pleasantly surprised I might add! read more

Showed up 10 minutes late to a movie that started at 10pm and the doors were locked . When we asked if we could purchase a ticket and be let in, they responded that the registers "shut off" at 10pm and that nobody can get in after that. I find it completely ridiculous that they would do such a thing ; people REGULARLY SKIP PREVIEWS. Considering that a much nicer theatre exists 10 minutes away, they should really consider doing "little things" to beat out the larger theatre in the area . read more

It's the only theater worth going to in the Paso area so its a good thing they are generally friendly, clean and attentive. That and the theater is in the perfect place in town! Afterward, you can stop at the brewery next door and grab a beer! read more

Very unfriendly unprofessional staff. Highly unrecommended to watch a movie here. Employees need to be trained how to be respectful to the paying customers. read more

This place is awesome. There was some issue getting the closed captioning device to set up properly but they went all out to make sure that it worked. I was really impressed with their customer service. Also I loved the big movie screen. Really nice experience. read more

What an awesome little hometown theatre , it's super clean and comfortable seating that rocks. The sound was perfect in the theater, we went to go see the minions movie and had such a blast. We will def be going back to see more fils at this theater. I love Paso Robles and all it has to offer . read more

Do NOT waste your time! We are beyond disappointed by the way we were treated. We went to see "Zola" tonight, at the 7:15pm screening, and when we finally got waited on (it took a while, but that's not what I'm complaining about), we asked for "two tickets to Zola," and we were met with a bewildered stare from the young man behind the counter. He told us that they didn't have that movie. We told him that it was definitely advertised on their website, which we'd consulted for showtimes about 20 minutes prior to walking in, so he called over a manager. She was equally confused until I insisted that I'd seen this movie listed on their website. She made a couple intercom calls and then gave us some sort of confusing excuse about equipment breaking down and having to cancel the movie--but they had never bothered to update their website! We had driven about 25 miles to see the show, and we were not offered so much as a courtesy voucher for another film, or a discount coupon, or even a sincere apology (she did say she was sorry, but she was distracted and seemed ingenuine). NO WAY will we ever go back to this theater! We will always go to Galaxy Theatres instead--they're professional, organized, the theater itself is beautiful, and the staff are friendly and courteous. I am absolutely sure that if the same SNAFU had happened at the Galaxy, or the Palm in SLO, we'd have been treated as valued customers, rather than two people who were whisked out of the way and sent out the door. read more

I've encountered one of the dumbest moves ever at this theatre. No ticket window anymore??? Used to be you could go and buy your tickets, go in and get your seats without getting into the mess they call the consession stand line. Over priced water, soda and today's special was burnt popcorn...sorry, I've bypassed this money trap for years. Today, however, I was late for the start of a movie because apparently now you have to stand in this awful line in order to get a ticket. Didn't matter that I was there 15 minutes before my movie started! I had to wait in the frickin food line for a ticket... an additional 10 minutes late for the start of the movie even. Never again; I'm not going back in this theatre, I'll find another theatre or just wait for the dvd. This was unexceptible and a very dumb move on the part of the theatre. Open up the ticket window like it should be. read more

I love Park Cinema, great location Downtown Paso Robles. Clean, great concession food and drinks. Newest release movies are always playing. Highly recommend for a day away. read more

I came here today to watch a matinee. For just me, a large soda, and a SMALL popcorn I paid $21.25. I'm not really sure how this is considered a matinee price. The inside lobby was trashed, apparently they were putting up new movie standups, but going down the hallway to the theater the trash cans were overflowing and it was a mess. The theater inside was clean so that was why they got the three stars. The little girl at the counter needed to work on her customer service skills...she was very unhappy. All in all I've had better experiences at The Galaxy in Atascadero. I guess the theater business has finally priced me out of seeing a movie outside of home. read more

I guess there is no longer a line to just buy a ticket. They force you to stand in line at the concession stand to buy a ticket. Good for expensive candy and popcorn sales, but it's a really poor customer experience. I want to buy a ticket to see a movie and then go to my seat, not wait in line while people are served food. Also the floors in the theatre are all sticky and grimy....the place was a pigsty. It's the only place to see a movie in Paso so I guess they figure they can afford to disrespect their customers. There are more movie choices in SLO anyway, so I'll probably go there for movie entertainment from now on. read more

5 stars for accommodation from the manager Natalie. Our movie stopped due to a protector error 10 minutes into the film. To make up for the inconvenience we were refunded our tickets, upgraded to the next 3d showing and given free popcorn and candy. They definitely care about their customers. A great place to see a film! read more

It's not so special here. They lie. I have gift certificates from fandango. When I tried to use them, they said,"we don't take gift certificates because we are privately owned." Well I went on the fandango website to find out who accepts the gift certificate. And one of the first theaters that came up honoring the certificate was Park Cinemas. It's a trap. You get here and of course you are not going to leave after wanting to see a movie. How does this happen. I'm going to talk to the manager after the show. What the hell not too many people here anyway. Just a bunch of out of control teenagers. Not coming back. read more

I've been going here for about 11 years, beginning when my kids were young. It's a small town so I don't expect an LA or San Francisco experience when going to a movie in Paso. The prices for movies and food are fair and the selection of food is not bad. Service at the front window, the concession stand, and the ticket takers is always friendly and helpful. The theaters themselves aren't the most up-to-date but everything is well-maintained and the sound system is good. Having the theater right in downtown is also nice because getting food or a drink before or after a movie is quick and easy. Galaxy may be newer and have additional amenities, but I'd rather see a movie here and walk around downtown. read more

pros: 1. Clean 2. Friendly staff 3. Nice screens and sound cons: 1. Cash only...wish I would have know so I wouldn't have to pay the atm fee overall nice theater and good experience read more

Our favorite theater for a few reasons: First and most importantly: it's never crowded!! Unfortunate for them I supposed but it's so nice not having to stand in line for 20 minutes and not as many little kids screaming bloody murder like at the Atascadero galaxy theater. Second, I don't feel like I'm sitting in economy class on an airplane. There's actually leg room. Inline the galaxy theater which makes me extremely claustrophobic. Third, the bathrooms are always clean and don't smell like everyone had a bad burger for lunch. read more

Pretty expensive. The seating is very uncomfortable as well. Would rather drive the 15-40 miles just to visit another theater.

Though I'm happy paso has this theatre, I'm not happy at the ridiculous prices they charge for everything. A bottle of water is over $3. There's a candy shop nearby, stock up there and shove it in your purse. The staff knows people do it but they haven't started bag checking as of yet. The theaters themselves are clean enough and if your child needs a booster seat, just let staff know, they can help. read more

After a long day we decided go to the movies for a family of four movies-time is expensive specially if your kids want popcorn and drink plus a candy and tickets over $100 I prefer red box read more

This is a GREAT place to bring your kids to see a movie! The staff is super friendly and if your kid refuses to sit for the movie they will give you a voucher for another movie! Plus the park is right there for the kidos (and the brewery for the parents) I prefer to drive to this theater from Atascadero rather than going to the new one just because of how great they are w/ my daughter!! read more

Love Love Love the treat of going to the movies, but as a "healthy food consumer" the snack selection has always left me with wanting to "sneak in" my own food until my most recent visit last night. THERE WERE HEALTHY FOOD BOXES :) Salami and cheese, dried fruit and nuts, hummus and crackers, WOW way to go Park Cinemas for offering selection. Now if we can work on the cost...well meh :/ thats another battle! keep up the good work :) read more

This theatre has okay prices (relatively speaking), concessions are standard theatre fare. My only issue with this place is the selection of movies showing should branch out beyond the mainstream box-office...a couple of art-house flicks should be thrown into the mix to add some much-needed balance and variety. read more
