On Tuesday, July 11 at 12:01 a.m. (yes, a.m.!), the Cedar Rapids Science Station/IMAX hosted the World Premier of Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. Sponsored by the Cedar Rapids Downtown District, this fifth installation of the Harry Potter series follows Harry, Hermione and Ron as they battle against the Dark Arts. Harry Potter is a cult phenomenon - with fans of every age following the misadventures of the young wizard and his friends.
Be one of the first to see Harry Potter 5 under the dome of the only IMAX Theater in the Corridor. The IMAX experience brings this movie to life and you'll find it hard not to duck as Harry zooms through the skies on his Nimbus 2000.
For ticketing information, please contact the Science Station/IMAX via phone at 319.363.IMAX or stop by 427 1st Street SE in Downtown Cedar Rapids. Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix will be showing for a limited time at the IMAX so make sure and reserve your tickets today! Group rates and corporate discounts are available. Please contact Betty Ehlinger at 319.363.IMAX to reserve your group package.

What says "it's Summer" more than having dinner or drinks outside at a sidewalk café on a lazy summer night? Soon you'll be able to have this experience in Downtown Cedar Rapids: Legends Sport Bar and Entertainment Center will be opening its outdoor dining area for lunch and dinner later this month.
Going a step beyond the outdoor seating that is currently available in Downtown Cedar Rapids, Legends will offer a full service sidewalk café complete with food and beverage service. Other Downtown restaurants have expressed great interest in following suit, especially the CR Chophouse who has grand plans for its own sidewalk café.
