Yelp.com Review - by Rinky A.

5.0 of 5 stars. If you haven't been to the Silent Movies on Saturday nights--this is a must do experience. We have now been to the showings 4-5 times and if we lived closer we'd go every week. $5 for two hours of…

Yelp.com Review - by Paul T.

4.0 of 5 stars. I'm feeling bad about ruining the "perfect 5" of the previous reviews. But I guess I'm jaded by other offerings at classical movie theaters and museums. The museum is located in a Nickelodeon theater…

Yelp.com Review - by Ryan S.

5.0 of 5 stars. It's not just a museum, but a theater too. If you are a Fremont native you probably know that a number of silent films, some staring Charlie Chapin, were filmed in Niles Canyon.
