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.

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

(We recommend getting yours online, since they sometimes go quick!)

Regular adult admission: $10.00

Senior citizens (62+): $9.00

Students (with ID) and children (12 and under): $8.00

Members enjoy ticket discounts! Learn more about our membership options.

Event prices vary.

Tickets are delivered to your email. When you arrive, we will scan its barcode or take your name to check you in.

Parking is available at meters on High Street, which is free after 6 PM and throughout the weekend.

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.

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!)

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

If you’re unable to use your tickets, you may get a refund by logging into your account. You can also donate them back to The Nightlight. To donate your tickets, please call (330) 252-5782 or return them to the box office before the showtime.

We accept cash and credit card, as well as ticket vouchers and gift cards from The Nightlight.

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 and Norka sodas.

We have a full bar, including multiple wines and beers (local and national), mixed drinks — and a special craft cocktail for each film!

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.

Thank you so much for your generous support!

You can make a donation online to our general fund, as well as to our Second Screen Campaign. Donations can also be made at the box office.

Yes! The Nightlight has caption-reading devices compatible with most movies, as well as headphones that stream the movie's audio. We also try to have open-caption screenings for the first showtimes on weekend days when captions are available.

Additionally, the cinema has a separate entrance leading directly to the front of the theater, where there is space for wheelchairs.

If you would like to visit The Nightlight to see a film and require a service animal or any related accommodations, please contact us at info@nightlightcinema.com. Thanks!
