Owners Michael Whalen and Michael Wilson understand<br />
that people want to enjoy their spare time (and vacation)<br />
to the max. They also know that going to the movies – or<br />
bowling – should be a luxurious yet comfortable experience.<br />

But, the past few years people have been enjoying themselves<br />
with premium TV and movies channels while indulging in<br />
gourmet meals at home. As for bowling, it was something<br />
everyone had on hold for a while.<br />
But life has sprung back into action, and Whalen and Wilson<br />
knew they had to up their game to get people excited to go out to<br />
the movies and bowl a few games. They also knew that everyone<br />
has a kid inside of them just waiting to get out. That’s why they enhanced<br />
this sensory explosion of goodies to include sophisticated<br />
arcade games, augmented reality bowling and the latest in movie<br />
viewing technology.<br />
To call Paragon Theaters luxurious is an understatement. Being<br />
inside one of their 12 theaters at Delray Marketplace is like reaching<br />
for - and attaining - nirvana. The exclusive Lux Box VIP Dine-<br />
In seats are luxurious, have private heated reclining seats, and are<br />
separated from general admission seats. They’re called the ‘best<br />
seats in the house,’ because they provide privacy with a bit of VIP<br />
celebrity styling. They also have retractable tray tables with QR<br />
codes that give you the option to have upscale dine-in service before<br />
and during the film.<br />
You can dine with ease (while watching the film) with food delivered<br />
directly from their restaurant and bar, The Agency Kitchen &<br />
Bar. All you do is scan a QR code from your mobile phone and the server<br />
knows exactly where to bring your food or drinks. You can order<br />
during the pre-show or anytime during the film with no interruptions.<br />
There is more to this luxury movie experience that will excite<br />
your senses and calm you down from anything life throws at you.<br />
They have a huge IMAX screen (the only one in Palm Beach County)<br />
with upgraded Laser Projection and a new sound system that rivals<br />
that of premium concerts. As a matter of fact, this is one of the only<br />
dine-in IMAX locations in the country.<br />
Paragon Theaters is also home to a state-of-the-art movie screen<br />
known as the Axis15 Extreme. This screen – that’s wall-to-wall –<br />
has a 15-degree tilt that gives the viewer the luxury of relaxation<br />
and entertainment. It also has Dolby Atmos® immersive sound, 4k<br />
Laser Projection, and features their exclusive Lux Box VIP Dine-In<br />
Seating privacy.<br />
If you’re looking for a more active form of entertainment, try<br />
their technology-driven bowling center, Penny Lanes. This digital<br />
bowling experience is not what you ever thought bowling would be.<br />
There are 16 lanes that take the digital age and combine it with the<br />
game to create a sensory extravaganza.<br />
