Summer days can feel long when you’re trying to keep everyone happy and entertained. These local movie specials are the perfect little outing—easy on your wallet, fun for the kids, and a chance for you to sit down and breathe (preferably with a cold drink in hand).
Cinemark’s Summer Movie Clubhouse
🗓 Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. | June 2 – August 7
📍 Participating Cinemark Theatres
💰 Tickets: $1.75 (yes, really!)
MOVIE LINEUP
This one’s a favorite in our community—and for good reason. You can take the kids to a real movie theater for less than the price of a coffee. The lineup includes popular animated movies they’ve probably watched a dozen times… but everything’s better on the big screen, right?
Mom tip:
The theater will be full of other families, so if your toddler narrates the entire film or spills half the popcorn, it’s all good. Zero judgment zone.
Bonus:
They’re also offering $1 off kid snack packs and popcorn + drink combos, which makes it easy to say “yes” to treats without overspending.
AMC Summer Movie Camp
🗓 Mondays & Wednesdays at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. | June 23 – August 13
📍 Participating AMC Theatres
💰 Tickets: $3 per person
Want more flexibility? AMC gives you two days and two times to choose from each week, which is a lifesaver when you’re juggling camps, naps, and all the things. The movie selection is family-friendly and keeps things fresh with a new title each week.
Mom tip:
These midday movies are perfect for playdates—grab your mom friend, grab the kids, and give yourself a moment of peace in a cool, dark theater.
Regal Summer Movie Express
🗓 Tuesdays & Wednesdays | June 10 – August 6
📍 Participating Regal Theatres
💰 Tickets: $1 per person
This is such an easy yes when you’re looking for a fun outing that won’t blow your weekly budget. Regal is showing family-friendly movies twice a week for just a buck per ticket—can’t beat that!
Mom tip:
Movies start with the first showtime of the day, so plan to go early and get those wiggles out before the lights dim.
Bonus:
You can grab a $5 snack pack, and if your kids are obsessed with Dippin’ Dots (like mine), you’ll love this: save $3 when you pair the two.
**A Few Quick Tips Before You Go
