    This is a rarity: an independent cinema. It's also in downtown Charlottesville and it's actually nice. I was directed to a kiosk on entry to order tickets, and seats were not assigned. I found a banger of a movie. The inside temperature was a bit cold for me on a winter day, and I thought it strange that restrooms were outside the ticketed area (so one has to remember to keep a ticket on you in case they wanted to trouble you about going back in). I didn't get any food but to be fair the popcorn smelled legit and a fair number of people did get it. It certainly isn't at the top level as a technical venue, but if you want IMAX, you probably need to drive to a bigger city. For what it is, the place succeeded and I would be happy to return.

    Came into theater 8 to watch Top Gun and loved how clean and comfortable it was. You can order alcoholic drinks and food at this theater. They have reclining seats, a tray table for your snacks and has a small and intimate setting. It's a great date night location prices are reasonable. Highly recommend.

    Always a five star! Great seats ! Small venue! Great bathrooms ! Concessions is good also ! There is not a lot of traffic here! Most of patrons tend to be older ! Depending on the movie. A tad pricier! It's at the downtown mall, so parking can be a challenge! Be careful because of traffic crossing the mall right in front ! Love the beer! examen des cols bleus:

    This is a nice cinema with 10 small intimate theater and every seat in the house is a great seat. My only compliant would be the door to get into the theaters is in the front and it's kinda distracting with people coming in and out during the movie.

    Brussel sprouts with bacon and the Crown fries!

    If you're looking for an upscale but reasonably priced movie experience, you should definitely come to Violet Crown! With a bar and dining area, they serve more than just your typical popcorn and sodas. You can order from a good range of made-to-order appetizers, pizzas, salads, and drinks (with drink specials) and bring them into the movie theatre with you. We tried a few apps (the crown fries and brussel sprouts with bacon), and the soda/tea refills are free! The seats are nice and comfy with pull-out tables, and you don't feel squished next to the person near you. The theatre is very clean - a nice upgrade from your typical movie theatre! I definitely recommend this place and would go back!

    Four hour parking garage validation- plenty of time to stroll the Downtown Mall and see a movie.

    Lovely afternoon at The Paramount Theatre where we attended a ballet production of Snow White and…read morethe Seven Dwarves. Our tickets were inexpensive for genuinely good view of the stage in row J. Ushers were friendly and eager to assist everyone who needed help finding their seats. The antique decor, paintings of 17th century ladies & gents, and yellow upholstery all give an authentic live theater experience. There was a strange little wall mounted water fixture (see picture) that I really liked even though I'm not sure what it is practically for. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. We expected live instruments and were surprised it was set to prerecorded orchestral music, but the sound quality was great so no worries. My only real complaint is that when we stopped by earlier that afternoon to buy our tickets, the fellow at the window seemed really put out . He answered our questions, but it felt like we were imposing on him. There was no one in line behind us and it's our first time going to a ballet since childhood, so we had some newbie questions. To engage with something like this for the first time is to step outside of our comfort zone, and I wish that the guy helping us had shown a more generous tone in the customer service department. His palpable annoyance very nearly scared us off buying tickets to this show at all.

    Monticello is probably the most famous of all the President houses (Mt Vernon may have it beat)…read more As a self-proclaimed Presidential history nerd, I have been to several presidential homes, libraries, museums, gravesites, monuments, etc. Monticello's history is the most interesting because of many factors including Jefferson's architectural obsession, the atrocities with slavery that occurred with building and maintaining it, and the innovations and experimentation Jefferson used while living here. Monticello is a huge operation. You should definitely get a reservation. You park at the bottom of the hill (or maybe middle of it) then you go through metal detectors and are now in the cafe/gift shop/bathroom area. From there you can take the 1/2 mile walk up hill to the home or take the bus. Once you are up top, you will be put into different huddles depending on your tour time. Oh, there are several different style tours, we just did the general admission tour. Anyway, you can walk around the grounds while you wait. The whole thing is very well organized. Our tour guide took us through various rooms in the house, pointed out various artifacts from Jefferson's past, told stories and was very knowledgeable when asked questions. The group I was in was probably 20 people. The whole tour took 45 mins. Then we walked the grounds independent of the tour including looking at Jefferson's family cemetery plot. My only issue is that I went on July 1st, 2026, so the whole back (or front) had a huge tent set up for the America 250 celebration. Not a big deal just didn't get the complete feel or pics.
