According to the website for the IMAX Theater at World Golf Village: “The end is here: the IMAX Theater is closed to the public.” No shows are listed.
But St. Johns County issued a press release this week stating that it is soliciting operators to keep the IMAX Theater at World Golf Village open.
According to the county, this process was announced to refute what it calls “inaccurate information posted on the theater’s social media about being closed to the public.”
“We have always been and remain committed to keeping the IMAX theatre open for as long as we are able to,” County Administrator Joy Andrews said.
Since the World Golf Foundation Inc. announced its relocation plans in 2023, the county has demonstrated a commitment to the IMAX Theatre and World Golf Village area.
On April 16, the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners approved the $5.5 million purchase of all World Golf Foundation Inc. assets.
On May 21, the board approved World Golf Village’s strategic recommendations and directed county staff to prepare for board approval a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit proposals from developers to redevelop the assets based on community input.
