The Nightlight is located in downtown Akron at 30 North High Street.

We are next to Akron Coffee Roasters, and across the street from United Way of Summit & Medina.

The Nightlight is open seven nights a week! (*Except when otherwise noted.)

The box office, bar, and concessions open 45 minutes before the first show of the day and close when the last show ends.

Parking is available at meters on High Street, which is free Monday through Friday after 6 PM, and all day Saturday and Sunday.

Parking is also available at the High/Market Parking Deck next to the Akron-Summit County Public Library and across from the Akron Art Museum (on the other side of Market).

For most screenings, seats are general admission — no assigned seating.

The doors to the cinema open when a showtime has let out and the room has been cleaned. At that point, the seats are first come, first served. (Including the comfy ones up front in Screen 1!)

After a quick introduction from one of our show leaders, we typically play close to 10 minutes of trailers before the show starts.

The Nightlight's concessions include classic movie-theater snacks like popcorn (made with coconut oil instead of butter) and candy. We also serve bottled Coca-Cola products, Norka sodas, and waters, as well as canned coffee.

We have a full bar, including multiple wines and beers (local and national), mixed drinks, and a special craft cocktail for each film — not to mention NA and mocktail options!

As for our policy on outside food and drinks, we'd like to avoid anything that will impact the viewing experience for other guests — strong smells, loud sounds, and so on — but reusable water bottles or coffee from Akron Coffee Roasters next door are acceptable.

We'll also make an exception for individuals with conditions like a food allergy.

You can buy a ticket online, or you can purchase at our box office before the showtime.

(We recommend getting yours online, since shows may sell out!)

Regular adult admission: $12

Senior citizens (62+): $9

Students (with ID) and children (12 and under): $9
