I don't know if they have it anymore but the original Neil Armstrong Museum in Wapakoneta, OH had a theater where you would sit or lay on a soft carpeted floor with long deep tiers. Above you a combination slide and movie AV show was presented.  I thought it worked very well.  But that was, oh my gosh, 35 years ago!  And not exactly east coast.
