APPLE VALLEY, Minn. — The Minnesota Zoo's IMAX theater is getting a $1.2 million upgrade.
The Apple Valley zoo's Great Clips IMAX Theatre recently added an IMAX Digital Projection System and will be adding a cloud-based ticketing system. The theater also is installing 482 rocker seats.
The theater will be closed for the installation Wednesday through Sunday.
Movie-goers can attend the first showing of director Christopher Nolan's new movie, "Interstellar," in IMAX 70-millimeter on Nov. 4.
The movie stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain in a story about space explorers using a wormhole to create a shortcut across the universe.
