SACO

Saco is a mill city on the Saco River, paired with Biddeford across the falls, and home to Apple Cinemas Saco IMAX on Portland Road. The historic downtown around Pepperell Square and the Factory Island mill district connect the city to its industrial past while the commercial corridor along Route 1 serves the broader region.

Apple Cinemas Saco IMAX offers first-run movies including IMAX and RealD 3D formats with power recliner seating. The Saco River Theatre in nearby Bar Mills presents community theater and music. Downtown Saco's Pepperell Square and the historic mill district are undergoing redevelopment with mixed-use commercial and residential spaces.

Saco operates in tandem with Biddeford — the two cities share the Saco River falls and mill heritage. The cinema provides a modern moviegoing experience, while the downtown retains the character of a New England mill town in transition.

Tip: Apple Cinemas is on Portland Road (Route 1), not in the downtown core. For the historic feel, visit Pepperell Square and the Factory Island mill district.
