Hi-Pointe Theatre — Attraction in St. Louis

The Hi-Pointe Theatre is a St. Louis treasure and one of the oldest continuously operating movie theaters west of the Mississippi, first opening its doors in 1922. Nestled in the charming Hi-Pointe/Clayton neighborhood, it feels like stepping back in time with its beautifully preserved architecture, classic single screen auditorium, and iconic neon marquee.
