Are you looking for a unique birthday party venue or maybe just a surprise night out for your family? Movie theaters across the western suburbs are renting out their giant theater rooms! My family misses going to movies on the big screen with our giant bowl of buttery popcorn with candy on the side. Renting out the theater gives us the opportunity to check out a new flick on the big screen and getting the whole place to ourselves. If you are looking for a cool birthday party venue, this is a great way to make your child’s birthday special. Relax, sit back, and enjoy the show!
