In the summer everyone wants to be in a cool place. Local programs offering summer movies for Phoenix kids are affordable, and there's no better place for a kid to spend a couple of hours every week than at the movies.
Every year Harkins, which owns and operates many of the movie screens in the Phoenix area, offers summer movies for children. Typically, these movies are rated G or PG and are already on DVD or close to being released on DVD.
AMC used to have a similar program, but it ended after summer 2010.
I have never personally attended one of the special summer movies, but I hear that they can be rather boisterous and wild!

How it works: Movies are rated G or PG. You choose your day, choose your theatre and buy your tickets at the theater. Not online, not by phone. You have to physically go to the theater. All your movies are purchased as a set; they must be for the same movie theatre and same day of the week. Tickets often sell out early, so don't assume you can wait to buy your summer movie package!
