The official Facebook page of Landmark Theaters' Lagoon Cinema located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
* Attention vehicular users! The parking lot behind us has closed, as a parking ramp is being built and slated to open in February 2012. Unfortunately, we will not be offering validation with other lots during this time, but in the interim, we recommend parking just north of the theatre (29th & Emerson, for example) for unmetered spots.
Five screens. Operated by Landmark since 1995. Sister cinema to the Uptown Theatre, the Lagoon is situated just down the block from the beloved single-screen palace. If you miss a Twin Cities exclusive at the Uptown, don't fret — the Lagoon is likely to pick it up. It also features the area's finest first-run independent films and foreign language cinema in a luxurious and locally flavored setting.
The Lagoon Cinema borrows its name from the building that used to stand where the Uptown Theatre is today. The Lagoon Theatre, as it was known, burned down in the 1930s and was replaced by the Uptown soon afterward. The Lagoon also borrows its design from its aquatic surroundings, as it is located near a pair of local lakes. The sconce lights are in the shape of moons, the lobby lights are trees, the wainscoting are bushes and the wavy pattern and color of the carpeting resembles flowing water.
Each auditorium has the steepest incline allowable, making one's view of the screen virtually unobstructed. Since the Lagoon's opening, upscale shopping and dining have become commonplace in the immediate Uptown neighborhood.
