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 both Harkins and AMC, the two companies that own and operate the greatest number of movie screens in the Phoenix area, offer summer movies for children. Typically, these movies are rated G or PG and are already on DVD or close to being released on DVD.
I have never personally attended one of the special summer movies, but I hear that they can be rather boisterous and wild!
