Splendid old art house, comfortable seats, spacious screen, gracious employees, really all the best reasons to abandon the TV for the evening can be found here. Can't wait to return. Thanks!

I love this theater. It's very nostalgic. When I was a kid I came here. In the 80's

It's definitely a nostalgic theater, from the neon palm trees on the walls to the old school chairs. But it's cozy, never crowded, and has the feel of a local hangout.

First time to the Rio was wonderful. Beautiful art deco interior brings you back to the movie theaters of our youth. Very friendly staff and better prices than the megaplexes. Well travel a little further to support this independent.

Rio Theater in Overland Park KS is a step back in time. It's Art Deco styling and simple elegance really set the mood. Once the movie begins you'll enjoy good quality sound and a crisp screen. I hope I get a chance to go back to Overland Park so I can go to Rio Theater again!

The Rio is a great little vintage theatre! Just like I went to when I was a kid. One movie. No loud sounds leaking thru the walls like the big multi-plexes. If they're showing a movie I want to see, I'll choose this place!

Lovely little 1940s movie theater with original walls and snack bar, and its neon tropical decor makes it all the more fun. Happily, the seats are up to date and very comfortable.

Love the Rio. It is part of the Fine Arts theatre group with Glenwood Arts theatre. I go to Glenwood more often, but Rio is a fun change of pace when we want to visit downtown Overland Park. Like Glenwood, they run independent movies, Oscar contenders, and documentaries. We most recently saw "The Biggest Little Farm" which I wouldn't have even heard of outside of the Fine Arts theatres. They are great curators of films that are worth seeing!The Rio itself is a fun experience. The ticket booth in the front, the beautiful neon lights on the exterior and in the auditorium, the small lobby and concession stand...It's all very evocative.

Great 1947 theatre and they show the fantastic art films and films that may not hit the mega movie places. 4.50 for a soda sucked! Otherwise I'll probably go again.

An older theatre full of history. If you want the newest concept in movie watching this place is not for you. If you understand and love the history of cinema meet me at the Rio!

Love this theater. Hopefully this historic place will not go way of the rest of downtown Overland Park.

This is my favorite movie theater in the Kansas City area. They definitely have the best popcorn and the movie choices are always the type of movie I like.
