The Theatorium was a motion picture building or exhibit at Olentangy Park.

The July 1907 fire that destroyed it was started by a firecracker thrown onto the roof. It destroyed the primary Theatorium building and spread to other nearby exhibits like Hale's Tours of the World and the Photographic Gallery.[1]
