Some of the most joyful memories of childhood are made going to the movies with friends and family. The smell of fresh popcorn, the taste of a cold pop on a sunny day, and the excitement as the lights dim and the picture starts rolling: these are experiences shared by growing kids across the nation. Here in Grand Rapids, we cherish these moments as much as anyone, and a local theater even offers a great opportunity for kids and their parents to experience the movies at an extremely affordable cost.
Starting on February 21, Celebration Cinema theaters will offer up one family film per week for a greatly reduced admission price. Kids 12 and under are entirely free, while adults can watch alongside their young ones for just $4. Whether you’re looking for a fun night with the kids or a cheap way to get out of the house, it’s worth looking through the list below to see if any of the movies are of interest to your family.
