Everything You Need To Know About $1 Discount Movies This Summer

0

$1 discount moviesTaking kids to the movies can seem like a daunting venture when you think about their attention span and the current cost of a regular movie ticket. No one wants to pay $12-$15 to test the cinematic waters with their 2-year-old. I was very excited to learn about our local theaters having $1 discount movies. This is great! What a wonderful way to see how well your little one will do at the theater without emptying out your wallet.

Another bonus of going to the movies this summer – air conditioning! What better way to pass a couple hours when it’s super hot outside than in a dark and chilly theater. 

And if you child decides they want to dance in the aisles or talk in the middle of the movie, chances are everyone else in the theater will understand. When you pay $1 to see a film before lunch, you expect to be surrounded by families.
