All the special movie screenings for kids happening this summer around the Twin Cities
It's a full-time job to keep kids busy through the summer, even with camps and other plans eating up some time.
Local organizations like the parks, museums, and play areas add lots of activities throughout the summer to help out. That includes parks and movie theaters adding a heroic number of movie screenings for kids.
Many of those theaters have family-friendly series playing that put classic and recent kid films up at a steep discount. Even better, there are tons of free movies playing in parks all around Minnesota.
To get your family plans in place, here's a look at the kid movies hitting screens throughout the summer. (Though, we're not including newly-released films, since we assume you'll be able to track those down on your own.) Movies with special pricing are noted in parentheses.
