When the kids start getting restless this summer—or the heat makes outdoor play unbearable—why not treat them to a fun movie outing that’s free (or nearly free)? Sure, you could stream these movies at home, but there’s something special about watching a movie on the big screen, popcorn in hand, and soaking in the cool theater air.
It’s the perfect way to spend a hot afternoon, make some memories, and enjoy a little break from the sun.
