The Palace Arts Center

The Mommies Reviews

I would like to let you know The Palace Arts Center (movie theater) in Grapevine, Texas has opened back up. I can’t wait to go and see some of the movies playing in May.

This is a home run theater and being able to support small based businesses at this time of uncertainty due to Covid-19 can help them stay in business and not close there doors. Join us at the movies.
