Who doesn’t love to go to the movies?
Wellllll…sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming with little ones in tow. That’s why I LOVE these cheap OC movie theaters and their summer movie showings for kids! We are talking $1, fun movies for kids this summer (yes, only $1!), offered at many theaters locations I have compiled for you below.
These kid-friendly movies are shown in the mornings. Typically filled with other parents and excited, squirmy kids. And it’s okay that your kids laugh extra loud, talk during the movie, spill their snack, and get up and down, and up and down, and up and down…

**Disclaimer and note – I encourage you to always call ahead or check theater websites for updates!
Another great resource I found is Plan a Day Out – this site shares about local discounted movies, movies in the park, movies at your local library…plus lots of other great summer activities and event ideas. Check it out!
And if you also have little ones, I encourage you to read my blog on “Tips for Taking Little Kids to the Movie Theater” – hope they help!
I love these $1 movies for kids. It’s cheap, it’s air conditioned, and it’s fun for summer! Share your favorite thing to do with your kiddos below. And, where do you like to take your kids to the movies?
