Reviews of Welden Theatre (Movie Theater)

Ryan Sanderson

Cool place, military rate, good prices. Retro

Valerie W

Small theater not bad seats biggest complaint no refills on large size like most movie theaters offer and their concession prices match the fancy theatres but their proportions are a size down. Good local theater and since they are the only one I am guessing this old town relic is here to stay.

Darlene Bailey-Lambert

Old musty smelling

Jesse Hannon

Relax and enjoy the movie in a historical building

Chad Ray

Nice to have a local theater, could use a bit of maintenance/upkeep

ilya barankevich

Theater 1 is a 120 inch home theater screen... 7 seat rows, smallest and oldest theater I’ve ever been to. Will probably avoid it...

Timothy Nunes

Good movies!!

Nikoa Kmetz-Derr

This is a nice hometown theater. I love the refillable popcorn bucket, the friendly staff and that it's quick and easy to get to. The seats in the theater are a bit worn, so it's not perfect, but is often preferrable to driving 40 mins or more to another place!

Jennifer Barrett

Theater is outdated but not in bad shape.

Lenn Lockwood

The Ac is the main attraction but the movies and popcorn are also nice.

Taylor Little

Great place, theatre one is a little small but for the price you pay it's not a bad place to go see a movie without a huge crowd if you're in town.

Christopher Dugan

Only theater in 05478 / St Albans... theater 1 is a joke, barely bigger than a modern hdtv, but 2 and 3 are ok. Seating hasn't been updated since the late 80s or early 90s tho, be warned

Dorothy Kilby-Turcotte

The movie was good, but parking is an issue.

Tanner McCuin

I grew up with this theater, and now that i'm back in the area i'm happy to see it's still here. It's not the most modernized theater, but it's got decent seats, and prices are better than most megaplexes. If i was going to offer a critique is that they don't always show 9pm movies, and often the movies they show are big budget and middle of the road. Would be nice to see a few more indie's come through... but this is franklin county afterall. Keep on keepin' on Weldon!

Kenzie

It's a local theater so it's not the most clean but it's decently kept and managed

Kyle L

The theater that I've been to since I was a kid. It's definitely showing it's age as everything looks rough and dated. I can't complain too much as the prices remain competitive and saves the extra drive to Essex.

Kohle Feeley

They really should be investing back into the theater. Prices are the same as anywhere, so you might as well go out to Essex. The theaters are old, the seats are uncomfortable, and the place feels dated. Lucky for them they are the only movie theater in the area.

Alyson Hansen

Prices on everything are a bit high so I don't go much anymore

Ethan Kichura

Quaint little theater with reasonable prices and a pretty good snack bar. Dated decor and small screens, but its a great place to catch a movie all the same!

Camilla Lamer

The have recent movies; they have great popcorn with real butter; they have lower prices than the megaplexes in B'ton area; seats are comfy; sound is good. Doesn't have 3 or 4 D. And it's a 10 min walk from my house. What's not to like?

Kimberly Smith

So in need of updating..... Seating is uncomfortable ... Really wish someone would take the time to fix it up....great area for a theater...

Goia Di Maggio

It's a little run down. Wish they would update it. Otherwise we enjoy going there

Gabriel Metallo

So it's a tiny three screen theatre with only one big screen. Just know that going in. The popcorn is real with real butter, the staff is local teenagers who nice enough. Prices are also extremely low across the board. It's a great theatre to see movies you aren't obsessed over having your retinas seared by or to take a bunch of kids to another forgettable cgi atrocity without breaking the bank.

Lane McElree

Great place get the year bucket for popcorn

Stephen Schad

Great place to see a movie.

Jesse Desjardins

Needs to be updated and offer refills

Nicholas poirier

The Welden movie theater is a very old movie theater that hasn't aged very well. It's got three theaters and is a bit run down. The staff are polite and they run very convenient showtimes it just needs some help.

Adam Desanctis

It's a theater in St Albans Vermont I'm just happy we have one! Stafford courteous the place is relatively clean and the rates are reasonable.

Stuart Cleland

Great place

Eric Shawver

Nice small town movie theatre. Great popcorn!

Ricky Hoy

Love the popcorn.

Daniel Nadeau

Decent theater for price. But a bit rundown.

Leviathan Lamothe

Bathrooms and ceiling are gross but the staff are nice and the tickets are cheap.

jennifer killgren

Needs serious updates. Awful seating. Rather drive to Essex.

Daniel Comstock

So cold in the theater!!!

Zach Scheffler

Great little local theater, but it desperately needs some new life breathed into it. The screens are digital, but the theater itself could use some TLC.

TDU Clan

The theater could use updates to show less age and some better seating but staff is always kind and informative, popcorn is good and they serve Coke products! We enjoy going.

Gary Devoid

Amazing finally went on a 4th date with the love of my life if 13 years and a couple if friends, i had a wonderful time! Thank you

Rick Valenta

Ah the Welden. A St. Albans Institution. I would give it four starts because it's ready for a little capital investment, but I just have too many good memories here. What's small town life without a small town theater? Two of the theater's are good, the third is about the size of my TV. Still, you can't go wrong here as the atmosphere is great and they use real butter on their popcorn.

Ashton Aj Logan Channel

They were really mean to us the time we went there, we left with are tickets and they wouldn’t let us back in. We even showed them we had them and our uncle was in the room, smh and supposedly we called them an ***hole so they kicked us out in a 17 degrees weather there for I will give them a one star rating..... Have a good day :)

Maryellen Barrows

has the latest in movies, great popcorn with REAL butter. three different screens. senior discount on admission. movie also shown at 2 & 4 - 4:30 shows. shell chair accessible also serves candy & soda, & juice

Chad Rocheleau

Good place

johanna crane

I love the Welden. They show just released movies at a good price. They have real butter on popcorn and they are very community minded.

Mad Cow

Cheap historic and local. Like being a kid again.

Kris Rushlow

lots of memories from here..and still cheap and excellent service..hey why pay 18 bucks for fancy dancy..say nothing about concession prices..ha!! why pay so much when you can enjoy old school??

patrick paquette

Friendly staff

Jeannette M. Gralnick

Prices for popcorn and treats are ridiculous!

Zoe Sadler-Jasmin

This is what you would expect from a small town movie theater.

Peter Mikheyev

Great small theatre!

Tamsin Coon

Great prices! Up to date movies! Small! Just a great little theater!

Sly Fox

Great place.service is good and place is clean

Rebecca Johnson

Great local theater, and they use real butter on their popcorn! Cheapest tickets in the area.

Andrew Boomhower

Great staff, older building... Old school charm

Rach R

Keep in mind the Welden had to invest a considerable amount of money to update the projectors when it went digital hence the inside may not be as ‘new’ as some have posted. The movies are inexpensive along with the the concessions plus not having the drive to Williston or Essex to see a movie and the staff have always been polite. The small theater is great for kids as they will think it’s a good size. Our dog is happier when we stay local.

Tracy Gilbert

Good for the price

Lucas Levick

Small theater and stale popcorn. Theater smelled of mold, has the advantage of being only theater in st.albans

Justin Beaudoin

Good price

omniscient

Great staff! Support local!

Cindy Shambo

Very nice staff place is clean great family fun

Roland Legault

This is an older 3 theatre cinema which plays current movies. It is an older independent theatre so it doesn't have the highest quality technology of today and the seating is also dated. This is the only theatre in St. Albans, but the prices are lower than competitive theatres in bigger neighboring cities.

Beth Umland

Small theater

Stephen

Three theatres and lots of new movies. Hot buttered popcorn, yum!

Erik J

I'm so glad we have the Welden as an option in Saint Albans. It's so difficult traveling 30 minutes every time you want to see a movie. It's a city so it's wonderful to have a place like the Welden. They've event started free movie nights for classics, an awesome perk to the community. Make sure to buy some popcorn too, the food is what keeps them open so let's make sure their doors never close! #SupportLocal

jack holcomb

It's a good movie theatre but it needs to upgrade their seats

Sage Harple

The welden always has a great selection of movies to choose from and low rates. Grateful to have a great place like this in town!

April Lavallee

Great prices for tickets. Always clean, quite and usually not crazy packed with people. Would of gave it 5 stars but the snacks and popcorn are a little pricey(like most places)...

Michele Denault

A great local theater with reasonably priced concession stand. The chairs and decor are dated.

David Stannard

Very good value for the price. Movies are current and I don't have to go far. However, if you want a posh theatre with lots of extras plus a higher ticket price, then it is not for you.

Shelly Salleem

OMFG is so NICE every month my family goes here

christopher saylor

Brought 7 year old to watch a movie during the winter. No heat. Theater was probably about 40 degrees inside. Asked gentleman if he could turn the heat up. He came into the theater, could feel how cold it was, went to the thermostat and made it look like he had turned it up, but the temperature never changed for the 2 hours of the movie. After the movie, he was nowhere to be found to discuss the situation. Just sad. I mean, if he knew the heat was broke, then don't play a movie in that specific theater. If you can't afford to heat the theater, than don't show a movie in that specific theater, especially a kids movie with a bunch of kids watching. Smarten up dude.

Anthony Airoldi

Ideally a great small town theater with hospitality. Don't always get the newest movie I want to see but less than 20 bucks for 2 too see what's on and free "way back Wednesdays" during the school year viewing at 630 always a great hit often relavent to a current new movie or the nearing holidays. St albans would not be the same without this place hopefully my kids ; kids will be able to have some of the same great memories to cherish made here as we do.

Kasey Morgan

Seats are old but great local movie matinee

kitcatvt

Small town movie theater with reasonably priced tickets and concessions. The people are super helpful and friendly.

Vicki Willette

Great experience

Chuck Blanchard

Ok movie theater

Katherine Simmons

They need to redo the whole place, seats are way out dated compared to other theaters, snack bar can use a face lift , now saying all that the people working there are really nice and polite .

Kenadee Cadieux

Bought tickets and there weren't enough seats for all of us to sit together in the movie we bought them for. It would have been nice if the ticket seller would have said there aren't a lot of seats left, maybe you should check and see if there will be enough first. They wouldn't refund us our money either.

Carissa Marie

It's perfect for the area, decent prices and fast service. It sure beats having to drive 45 minutes to the next closest theatre. I would of rated 5 stars but last time I went popcorn was cold and the seats drive me nuts. They're comfortable enough but they're all flat instead of at an angle and some tall guy always sits in front of me so it's difficult to see. But compared to the better theatres down in Williston and Burlington it's cheaper and closer.

Jason Waldron

Good theater

Jeffrey Brundage

Enjoyed a double feature on Saturday afternoon at this quaint hometown theater. The popcorn was very nice and the staff very friendly.

eric pechie

Great little cinema

Kevin Hartman

Beautiful old theater! Lots of history!!

Michelle Ricketts

It was $9 a piece for adults, the seats were uncomfortable and creaky-certainly not worth $9, then again there are in a lot of other options in town

Jordan Fiorini

Needs to be updated. But its cheap for movies

Justin Charbonneau

Please fix your chairs. Updating your screens/projectors might stop families like mine from taking a 45 min ride to go to Essex or Williston

Jason Russell

Kept yell at us to stand be hind ropes when we were off to the side was not great customer service

William Mogavero

Old time theater.

Jennifer Dennis

This place is stuck in time. Plus side is it isn't expensive. Their schedule is anything but convenient.

Jake Ledoux

It's an okay theater and they occasionally do cool events like free movies, as well as host an annual film festival. However, the experience just doesn't compare to other theaters like Essex Cinemas or the Majestic 10, which I choose over this every time.

Neil Clifford

3 theaters,centrally located on main St st.albans

Bradley Bevins

A nice theater for the area, not top notch tho

Richard Sisters

THE WELDEN THEATRE IS A VERY GOOD MOVIES PLACE THING, WHO CARES IF IT LOOKS OLD AND CRUMMY...YOU CAN STILL WATH A MOVIE THERE AND SNEEK IN BLANKETS. THE POPCOR THERE IS GREAT AND THERE ISNT "limited food options" YOU CAN HAVE WHOPPER CANDIES GUMMY WORMS AND SO MUCH MORE. WELDEN THEATRE IS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN MAKE MEMORIES WITH YOUR FAMILY AND LOVED ONES. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE WELDEN IF YOU WANT TO SEE A VERY COOL MOVIE. sincerely, arleigh richard

Brendyn Gagnon

Cheap. Friendly employees. Not an amazing quality movie theater, but definitely a good one.

Jade frechette

The movies they play are great, and it is not far from my house what is not to like.

Jollene Brault

This place needs an upgrade in a huge way. Definitely overpriced for the way the place looks. It's dingy and old. The bathrooms are disgusting everytime we go. The locks on the doors hardly work. Only cold water to wash your hands with.

Luna Dunbar

A little expensive for the sizes of the theaters/screens, but still a nice place to go see a movie, and conveniently located right in downtown.

Jordan D

This movie theater has gone digital- but not in a good way when it comes to picture quality. Quite clearly they have skimped either on the projectors, or simply on the set up for those projectors. From the opening credits and ads you will see that the video image is slightly fuzzy - just barely on the edge of being in focus. The sound is still good, and they do show multiple films at a time - however, each theater I have been in has the same issue. I've been in to see a movie twice in the past 6 months - both times I have asked others in the theater if it looked fuzzy to them, and after positive affirmations, I have gone to the front desk about it. I was told, "these are all digital- and it is what it is - they can't get focused" Twice is enough to keep me out - especial with the same experience both times. I don't want to have to drive 30 minutes extra to see a movie that's shown IN FOCUS, but if you want a good Movie Theater Experience, skip this place until they can get a digital video if not in digital laser-like clarity - at least looking crisp enough not to rub your eyes. If you go there, and see what I mean, feel free to ask for your ticket money back - maybe they will figure out that fuzzy for a movie theater is just not acceptable.

Michael Jadczak

Historic and fun. Cheap seats too!

Dennis Gebhardt

Needs updating but pleasant staff

Allie Johnston

Run down building and small town feel. Theaters are passable, but the sound is sometimes rattling from the bass. Circulation of films is always good. Never had issues with the high schooler staff and the candy/popcorn is overpriced like every other theater. Movie prices are a good value.

Thomas Dunbar

Its a decent theater, the prices are good, but it's a little run down. The candy selection is a little weird, but again, it's a good price and I can deal with not having my favorite candy.

Arthur Saffo

A staple of Saint Albans. Could use a modern upgrade, but still a great experience in the heart of the city.

Dan Plant

I've never been there before

Ed Kelley

We love it. Yea it's old and not 5 star place but cheapest place around and no big crowds. Would say go to it and judge for yourself

Tracie D

A historic land mark.

Kylee Pierce

Not one of the fancier theaters but they have obviously came a long ways in the past few years.. I had stopped going for years because it was basically a dump. But I went tonight and aside from the theater being a little on the warm side while the bathroom was freezing it was okay. The picture and sound quality was good. And we really enjoyed ourselves. Definitely won't hesitate to go back again now.

Jeremy Burnor

It's a cozy theater but the restrooms are outdated probably from the 70's

Melissa Danforth

Pleasantly surprised. Been years since I've been to the Welden. The popcorn was fresh, my seat was clean and the whole evening only cost me $19!
