Unwrap More of Whitaker Center Online

September 2009 marked the launch of our new website — featuring the latest information about what’s happening every day. As you may have noticed, the site not only provides access to planning a visit, but also connects to our social networking sites, the Whitaker BLOG (with links located on the left-hand side of each page), and much more.


Through Whitaker Center’s Facebook page (facebook.com/whitakercenterhbg), visitors can post comments on select Whitaker Center photos and videos. In addition, we recently made our debut on YouTube (youtube.com/whitctr) with Niko Goes to Whitaker Center: A How-To Parking Guide by a Toddler and Niko’s Holiday Fun at Whitaker Center. The parking video is a humorous step-by step look at parking downtown — from the pint-sized perspective of a toddler. In the Holiday Fun at Whitaker Center video, we had the little tour guide give a quick overview of all the Holiday festivites that we offer (video below). We plan to offer more fun and creative ways to inform newcomers and returning guests about what’s new.

Through the Center’s social networking sites, guests can join in the conversation and see their contributions in upcoming issues of SPOTLIGHT or other places online.

Guests are encouraged to:

  • Comment on Whitaker Center’s Facebook and YouTube pages, by clicking through photos from our 9/9/99 groundbreaking ceremony to the present, or view any of our online media.
  • Let us know when you post photos from your visit to Whitaker Center on Facebook. One photo will be chosen quarterly to be featured in our quarterly playbill, SPOTLIGHT.
  • Selected guests will be asked to contribute to this BLOG where they'll attend an IMAX® movie or exhibit preview, and we'll post your review online.
  • Follow us on Twitter and submit a science/IMAX-related question to “Ask Captain Science.” Steve Bishop, our Vice President of Science & IMAX Programs, will select and post one winning question each month on our website.


Don’t forget to log on for a new look at Whitaker Center, become a part of our social networking sites, and hear what visitors are saying. Plan your visit - and join the conversation - today.
