Check out this fun list of Summer movies for kids. You can get a great discount on a movie, get out of the heat, and relax for a bit!

Summer Movies for Kids

Every summer, when my kids were younger, about 4 days into break we would reach the point that the kids would start announcing that they're B.O.R.E.D. That's why I LOVED having a few activities in my arsenal to break up the week.

These discounted summer movies for kids are a great way to have a fun summer outing on a budget!  Here are the summer lineups for nationwide as well as some large regional theaters.

Cinemark – Kids Clubhouse –  $1.50 Movie Tickets

Starting the week of June 19, Cinemark is bringing back their 2023 summer Movie Clubhouse for Kids – where you can purchase tickets for just $1.50 each!  You can also get a discount on snacks – $1 off kids snack packs and specials on the “any size” popcorn and drink combos too.
