Tots in Tow Matinee Series

9105
Every Tuesday, one of our 1 p.m. screenings is geared specifically for parents and/or caregivers with babies in tow. These Tots in Tow Matinee screenings feature one of the films that we are currently showing in the evenings, but with theater conditions adjusted to provide you with a more baby-friendly movie theater environment.

Lights are dimmed so that you can find your way in and out of the theater as needed, and the volume level is turned down so as not to damage your child’s more sensitive eardrums. We’ll even provide you with a changing table in our lobby!


Second Saturday Kids Movie Series

9326
Every second Saturday of the month at 10 a.m. the cinema features a free screening of a children’s movie for families to enjoy. The series also includes sensory friendly screenings of the movie that are specifically geared toward children with autism where families can bring food from home for children with special dietary needs, walk around and talk during the movie. Sensory friendly movies have no previews, lower volume and dimmed lights. Upcoming movies in this series include How To Train Your Dragon, Hotel Transalvanyia and more.
