Have been waiting for awhile to see a movie at the Silco Theater since its renovation. Got to enjoy 'Joker' and also some great popcorn. This is an old theater that through donations and hard work is once again entertaining film goers. You have the classic sidewalk ticket booth instead of the megaplex maze of traffic, parking, Indiana Jones search for you movie on screen 18! You pay, walk in. Turn right and you get the basics: popcorn (layered in butter), candie, drinks, etc. The basics to enjoy your movie, no need for a restaurant heavy menu. Perfect. There looked to be stairs to a balcony that were marked employees only. Through the doors there I as a quarter moon wall which has two bathrooms to your left. Walking in you see the old Indian art on the walls. Very nice sized screen and the sound is great. The theater has just enough seating to find your spot, not too big, not too small. I very much enjoyed my Silco Experience. Very friendly staff. Treat yourself and visit the Silco Theater in Silver...

Did you know you can rent the Silco for your event? How about a birthday party and a movie of...
Read moreI have been to the Silco several times and always had a great time. Not tonight!! My daughter and I have waited years for the great musical Wicked to became a movie. We went to the Silco tonight and a family sitting behind us had two young children that kept talking…LOUDLY! One of them kept kicking my daughter’s chair. I turned around and looked at the parents many times. They did NOTHING. We eventually left to complain to the employees…we waited in the lobby at least 15 minutes and never found an employee. We called the theater when we were there, we heard the phone ringing but no one answered it. Silco, you are better than this and we...
