WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

This is a great way to get the “going out to the movies” experience without the crowds, overpriced tickets, and worrying if your kid is going to cause a scene or make it through the movie.  Because if they don’t, you’re only out a dollar!  I heard from a friend that one of the times she went there was a fairly long line for tickets, but it moved really fast.  When we went the theater was practically empty.

WHAT TO TAKE

Lots of treats! Concessions are still regularly priced, and you can bring your own.

OUR EXPERIENCE

We went to see Curious George on a Tuesday morning.  We were a little late because swim lessons go until 10, but it worked out perfect because there was no line for tickets and all we missed were the previews, which is the way I prefer it anyway. Kyler (2) is really into Curious George right now and has the whole movie memorized, but still enjoyed it.  We took lots of snacks, which I recommend.

WHAT WE LIKED

The price is great, obviously!  I liked that it wasn’t crowded and it was a bunch of people like me, with really little kids.  Where I wouldn’t take my noisy baby to a regularly timed and priced movie, I was totally comfortable here, and people were in and out a little bit, and it was all fine.

WHAT WE DIDN’T LIKE

Nothing not to like here!  Unless you don’t like going to the movies.

WILL WE GO AGAIN

We aren’t super interested in any of the movies left for this summer, but we will definitely keep up the tradition next summer.
