Wharf Cinema Center Shops & Restaurants The

All the internet sites advertising showtimes and pricing for this theater indicated that a 3:30 showing on May 24th was a "matinee" and was priced accordingly. When I arrived to purchase a ticket, I was quoted full price. Both the ticket teller and the assistant manager insisted that I was wrong. Even after pulling up one of the websites on my Iphone and showing them the clearly indicated discount pricing for that showtime, they refused to accommodate me. The assistant manager even went so far as to say with obvious satisfaction "ruined your day!" When I told her it was not the money but the lack of corporate responsibility and customer service that I took issue with, she said "well don't come back". Well I won't and I hope anyone who reads this won't either. Go to a "real" theater or just watch movies at home where you don't have to put up with rude and ugly "non-service" personnel. Good riddance to any business that doesn't know how to treat its customers or stand behind its advertising. more

Everyone stops by the Banyan tree in Lahaina, near Pioneer Inn. Cross the street and you'll find the Wharf Cinema Center, with lots of small retail shops (some good, some not so good.) Upstairs is a small theater that carries current releases. Set aside some time to find parking in this area. more

The Wharf Cinema Center is a great place for shopping, dining and entertainment in one place. You can spend the entire day here shopping at stores that sell everything from aloha wear to Hawaiian arts and crafts. You can also watch the latest movie releases at their triplex cinema. If you get hungry you can enjoy lunch or dinner at their numerous eateries in the Garden Courtyard. You can also relax and dine in any of the air-conditioned restaurants. I would recommend this beautiful shopping center to visitors to Maui. more
