This touristic attraction has been the main center for the regional arts, and represents one the most important in the northwest of the country. It is located in the Zona Río district of Tijuana, Mexico.

The complex features an OMNIMAX theatre, with a 360-degree projector that gives one the impression of being inside the movie. It has a capacity of 308 seats and is popularly known as "La Bola" (the ball) because of its spherical shape. It was designed by architects Pedro Ramirez Vazques and Manuel Rossen Morrison. Also, this is the current and only IMAX Theater in Tijuana.
