Pacific Theatres Winnetka 21

it is pretty clean. The price is a little bit high. And it does not provide discount for students.
Generally it is fine.

I ready like coming here. Use to come here as a teenager when it was a drive in. The service lately has really changed. Staff finds it an inconvenience when they have to help people, if you don’t like your job, quit… Just a few though, most of the staff is really cool and happy to help. I really like the fact that the theaters are not always full…

THE ONLY REASON I GAVE 3 STARS IS BECAUSE THE SEATS SUCKKKKK BALLS! Lol. i sat in 8 different seats because a lot of the paddings in this theater are all worm out. The service itself is great the quality of the audio and screen is not bad but them seats make your booty hurt. lol

This location used to be the Drive-​in Theatres, such fun back in the days. Now well its just another Theatre. Crispy cream donuts also used to be right here also. So many changes. The best part of this location is the different locations to eat at.
The one thing they are going to need to do is a make over in order to kept up with the other Theatres here in the Valley, from the sound system to the screen and most of all the seats.
Fore the most part, Self –serve.Several kiosks to purchase your own tickets. However it only takes takes a credit card or your bank card.
Really had no encounter with any employee, other than to give my tickets to enter in.$ price per ticket is $ 12.50 per adult.
Plenty of parking at this location, its a big lot. They also have a self-​serve beverage bar.

Just read they have BED BUGS!!! Last time I went there I did get an allergic reaction to something. now that I read they have these pest I believe it was maybe a bite!!! Place is old, dirty, movies are always late or goes out. The staff is rude and look like they hate their lives. Their pop corn ALWAYS gets my boyfriend and I sick… They need to tear it down and start all over because if they do have bed bugs they must be everywhere! The place is carpet and upholstery everywhere! Taking my business else where!

My family and I stop coming to this location due to the bugs issues.
My son and I was scratching from back to front, toes to head. Huge and small bumps, itch like nuts. It was a hives due to allergic reaction from a bugs bites. My spouse was okay. My son and I ARE highly allergic to bugs bites and we know it.
Then, here the icing on the cake for watching movie in this place, we brought back home tiny uninvited guests. Fleas attack! We do not own a pet, have been leaving in the same house for a decades never had this problem before.
For the last 6 months, (yes, I want to Unilocaled out our experience right away but too upset and try not to use bad words and too busy combating the fleas at home!)
Due to my child allergies, we can’t use any chemical, so we had to sprinkle the whole house with salt and baking soda, after a 3 – 5 days we had to vacuum every corner every nook, and repeated all those for almost 2 months until those sucker’s gone. Don’t even ask me about clothing. Laundry. It was a crazy 6 months.
My son and I can’t even go to swim during summer, our body was and still ARE full with bites mark. So there you go, for those who are having trouble with bugs bites. Think twice.

So they have bed bugs in one of the theaters! Really disgusting. One time went to watch a movie during the summer and the AC was broken in the theatre. Try watching a movie with 90 degree heat outside. Pretty much an oven in there. 20 minutes before the movie was about the end they «paused» the movie and had management come in and tell us. If you still want to finish the movie you can but if you want to leave now we can give you a refund.
Sticky Floors
Bed bugs in the seats!
and non working AC
They need to upgrade that place soon!

We’ve gone here several times. I like coming to this theatre because it’s not always packed. We came to see vin diesel new movie the last witch hunter and there was only like seven people in this theatre in a seating of I would say 75 people. Anyways I loved the movie and love that it’s not always crowded even though the movie was premiering it’s first day out. It maybe hidden but it sure is a nice theatre only known to those who love to be in a theatre without so much hassle to dodge people or even stand in line at the concession stand. Yaay to the valley people for having a hidden but awesome movie theatre.

This theater was a lot more rad about a decade ago when there was an arcade right next door. The theater itself is A-​OK, there’s a ginormous parking lot and a ton of food options in the vicinity so it’s easy to dinner and movie (if that’s your preference to Netflix & chill). The crowd it attracts here is sometimes a little unsavory, as I was once a rowdy high schooler that used this as my «spot.» So if you want a movie-​watching experience where you’re going to have an out of body cinematic revelation, this probably isn’t the place for you. But it’s solid here.

Good Ol’ Winnetka theaters!
I’ve been coming to this establishment since way back in the day (before I could even drive). Winnetka is just a long stretch of theaters wherein you enter through the middle.
This is your local homie feel theater. It serves it’s purpose and nothing is wrong with that.
The theater rooms aren’t the most modern. They vary in sizes but they do have a couple IMAX rooms where the seats are leather, the screens are from the ceiling to the floor and the sound quality is epic
The food is the same. Still a bit pricey but definitely cheaper than AMC.
STAFF: hit or miss. Mostly friendly but when it’s a big premier night, they up the security which is good because it ensures safety but bad because they get a really strict with your ticket stubs (i.e., bring the stub with you when you go to the restroom because they’re going to stop you and ask to see it)
Bathrooms are clean but can get dirty during busy times.
A few things to note: They don’t seem to ever use the ticket booths in the front anymore. You can either buy tickets from the machines or go to the customer service counter and purchase there.
GLITCHES — I have experienced a few glitches here. They’ve had the movie sound cut in and out once but it wasn’t too bad. There was a time where the movie started but the lights didn’t dim down /​turn off until ¹⁄₈ of the movie so it kind of ruined the vibe.
Plenty of parking
Surrounded by food
Overall, a good place to watch movies and great for groups!

For those of you who are, like me, unwilling to pay the ridiculously high prices of movies nowadays, this is what I did. I bought a group activity ticket for $ 300, and you get 50 tickets, which comes to $ 6/​ticket.
.
I like going to the movies during the week so its less crowded. I agree that although this is not one of the nicest looking theaters, there’s tons of parking, a big selection of movies.

This is a place that if you’re not all into the assigned seating thing and you just want to go see a movie still at a reasonable price then Winnetka Theaters is for you! Not to mention they have huge screens here and great Dolby Digital sound in some theaters. The chairs are always nice and comfortable and there are plenty of nice casual places to eat nearby while you wait for your movie to start or for after you get out of an epic action thriller!
I can remember when this this same location used to be a drive-​in theater so they’ve come a long way since then. I miss the drive-ins…those were such a more simpler time… lol! Anyways I digress and I’m dating myself so lemme just finish with this. Great theater, nice location and a great spot to sneak in a Sunday evening flick after all the kids have gone back to school.

Pacific Winnetka is a great movie theater to go. The parking lot is HUGE. Trust me there is plenty of parking. Also, it has a lot of places to eat by such as: Stone Fire, Poquito Mas, Subway, The Habit, Sweet Snow, and a couple more places. You can definitely grab dinner and a movie here.
Customer Service: The lady who always rips your tickets and tells you what direction to go is AWESOME. She always has a smile on her face and genuinely means everything she says too you. I’ve been coming here for a long time and I am treated the same every single time.
Food: The snack bar does not have that many options and my little brother got served old popcorn. You could tell it was sitting there for awhile. We had to go back and ask them for a fresh batch and they happily gave us a new bag of popcorn.
Prices: The only bad thing about this theater and why it is getting 4 stars is because the matinée prices are terrible. It is $ 10.75 for an adult and $ 9.75 for a child at 10 am, which is expensive.
I have been coming here for awhile and I will continue coming here.

Pacific Winnetka is really a great movie theater. It is always clean and there are plenty of theaters which allow for plenty of convenient movie times for any movie you might want to see. No matter your schedule, you can find the movie that you want to see playing at a time that will definitely work for you.
A huge plus is the parking lot. It is HUGE! There’s no way you couldn’t find a parking spot, even on the most crowded nights. There are also several restaurants in case you want to get some food or something to eat before or after your movie.
The only reason I’m giving four rather than five stars is because the theater is a little bit old and I wish they had better snack options. They have good popcorn and other standard snack options but sometimes I want something a little different.
Overall, a great theater!

A lot of people in Southern California will hate this theater. And I get it. We are used to our cushy Archlights and our trendy little independently own movie-​viewing spaces. Or our outdoor viewings that last all summer long and exist in places like beaches and historic picnic-​able cemeteries.
But I like this spot, too. For some simple reasons:
1. Not crowded ²⁴⁄₇. I saw Jurassic World here on opening day in the late afternoon and there were maybe 40 – 50 people in the large theater. Plenty of empty seats.
2. Low key. You won’t find props from films that are currently playing in large glass cases in the lobby, or have the possibility of being in the same theater as a celebrity… but it’s all good. You also most likely won’t run into anyone you know here, which makes it the perfect place to sneak away to.
3. Affordable. Because you’re not paying Archlights prices.
4. Plenty of free, easy, no-​waiting-​to-​get-​a-​parking-​ticket-​validated parking.
Bottom line: it’s perfectly fine.

A day late, but last night for Father’s Day, my fiancée and I went to the movies to watch Jurrasic World. The ticket purchases were fine, buying our drinks went smoothly, made our way to the movie room. The theater was jammed packed. We traded our tickets for a later time so we could get better seatings (or any seating really) that wasn’t the problem.
So what’s the problem? … well. firstly, the arm rests are really bad. Placing my coo in the cup holder and my drink is ready to fall right out. But this isn’t even what really bothered me. Half way through the movie, my fiancée reaches down for my hand, pulls his hand up next to my face and I can see his face reaction, a «double-​u tee-​eff» look quickly Creeped across his face. He had a giant wad of hair in his hand. Gross! … I didn’t realize I had sat on someone’s weave.
Who ever last cleaned did a sucky job. I thought the reviews were a bit harsh on the cleanliness of this movie theater but having read this isn’t the first time something like this has happened… ehhh a part of me is sad but the other half is too grossed out to feel bad.

It’s a movie theater that is on its last legs. The staff don’t really give a shit about anything. The chairs are old, broken, not comfortable. In the theater there is trash everywhere, no one seems to care about cleaning it up. Pretty embarrassing for whoever owns this place. This place needs some major renovations, give a call to HGTV to fix this place up.

This theatre is showing its age. It needs a good overhaul. Arm wrests are all worn down and dirty, seats don’t recline, and the area just outside the theatre looks almost abandoned. That’s not helped by the fact that most of the neon lighting is broken. For the price I’m paying for a ticket, I expect a viewing experience that’s on par with other theatres charging that much. This place doesn’t do that.
I guess the only perk is that the soda fountain is open for anyone so go ahead and get that small drink and refill until your heart’s content.

Holy guacamole they have a huge screen almost IMAX size. The theatre chairs were newly renovated with black leather. Friendly staff, big parking lot and pretty good popcorn. The only place where there was a huge wait was at the concession stand. I was a little disappointed that the movie only took up ¾ of the screen and not entirely… We sat further up anticipating that it would take up the whole screen. The crowd here is pretty chill so you can enjoy your movie in utter silence. Also I liked that their website included a detailed description of each theater.
It’s located in a mini mall which consists of lots of different restaurants and this theatre.
Tips: Ticket machines are located inside on the left entrance there is no sign indicating this. This theater should be nominated for a clean award. It was surprisingly very well kept on the inside and out.

Been coming to this theater since I was a teenager. And let me tell you, it looks the same!!!
But thats not a bad thing, at least not to me.
As long as the theater movies play well and the sound is great and the continued great customer service. I will keep coming back.
I love movies and going to the movies is still a good time!!!
I do remember the theater had an arcade. it was cool!
