Have you ever been to free movies in the park?
Have you ever been to free movie events in the park? We have had so much fun each summer watching free movies in the park. I love being outside with my kids while we watch movies under the stars. Each location has it’s own “feel” or culture.
Summer Movie Tips
You may want to checkout the website to see if you are allowed to bring chairs or just sit on blankets, if food is available, if dogs are allowed, etc. Remember movies are subject to change at each location due to weather or other factors. I would recommend checking before going to any movies. I would love it if you would share any other locations that you know about in the comments below. Or share an experience you’ve had at the movies in the park.

[…] Instead of giving the gift of 12 pre-planned dates, change it to 12 pre-planned activities for your kids or entire family. This way, you will have something fun planned to do together each month throughout the year. You can choose to add big activities, or you can do inexpensive things like hiking, going sledding and drinking hot chocolate, or watching a free movie in the park during the summer. […]
