Opened in 1929, the beautifully restored Orpheum Theatre is one of Phoenix’s architectural treasures—an atmospheric movie palace complete with its original Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Organ.

During this guided historical tour, you’ll explore the theatre’s public spaces and venture into areas guests don’t normally get to see, while learning about the Orpheum’s history, architecture, restoration, and nearly 100 years of entertainment.
