While on the Movie Tour, visitors will learn about movie palaces and the innovations that Mr. Fox introduced to the movie industry, many of which are still in place today around the world. They will also visit the Projection Booth and meet the projectionist, view the screening room (an original movie room), 2 Star dressing rooms and the stage before taking their seat for the Coca-Cola Summer Film Festival.

NOTE: Space is limited; 20 people per individual tour. Movie Tours are not recommended for children under 7 due to the travel and tight locations. Children 2 and under are not permitted. Everyone must have a ticket. A few of the locations on the tour route are not ADA accessible and there are many stairs involved.

Regularly scheduled Fox Theatre Tours will still take place during the week of the Movie Tours. Launched last April, Fox Theatre Tours provide visitors with a 60-minute guided tour showcasing the must-see details of the Fox, which has entertained millions since 1929. Regular Tours take place on Mondays and Thursdays at 10 AM, 11 AM, 12 PM and 1 PM and on Saturdays at 10 AM and 11 AM. Ticket prices range from $15 for military and seniors, and $18 for adults (free for children 10 and under).
