There are six Marcus Theatre locations in the Twin Cities playing mostly first-run movies. They also sometimes offer family-friendly entertainment and events and special offers. One thing that makes it a fun family moviegoing experience is the stadium seating at local theaters. With these comfy chairs, we are way more likely to make it through a movie without having someone land on my lap or need to go out for a walkabout mid-film. Some of the other latest amenities include digital sound, innovative food and beverage concepts, and 72-feet-wide UltraScreens. (I’m not sure exactly what I’m not sure exactly what “innovative food and beverage concepts” means, but the last time we went, they had adult beverages and mixed drinks available.) As part of its annual Kids Dream summer movie series, American Family Insurance offers free kids movies all summer long at participating Marcus Movie Theatres. You DO need to get an e-voucher prior to the show! Or moviegoers can just purchase a $15 voucher from Marcus to see all the shows. Grab popcorn and drink specials for just $3 each plus tax. Follow the link above to grab vouchers to your kids’ favorite movies on this list: The Oakdale location offers special showings for families and individuals with special needs. This program is designed for families with special needs such as autism by creating friendly environment with lower sound and lights up. Families with children who need accommodations will be able attend select first run movies on one Saturday each month the 10:30 AM showtime. Regular matinee pricing applies. When school is in full swing, meetings, practices and rehearsals show no signs of slowing down and the holidays are right around the corner, chances are you — and your kids — are running on overdrive and could use a break. That’s where our friends at Marcus Theatres come to the rescue. Whether it’s a movie the whole family will enjoy or one that’s more for the kids (hey, it gives you a chance to kick back for 90 minutes!), the movies are a perfect escape. And, a trip the theatre doesn’t have to break the bank. Check out these value programs available at local theaters: Marcus Theatres recently introduced Student Thursday at all of its locations. It’s a great option for a pre-weekend study break. Bonus: many of Hollywood’s biggest films have their premieres on Thursdays! How cool is that?!
