Pack your picnic blanket and your popcorn: summer is outdoor movie season! Larger-than-life movie screens throughout the western and northwest suburbs will fill with new family-friendly favorites like Moana 2 or Despicable Me 4, as well as blockbusters such as Wicked or The Mighty Ducks. If you’re searching for “movies in the park near me”, we have an amazing list for you!
While many offer concessions, check in advance to make sure you’re prepared with all your favorite movie snacks.
Kidlist Tip: Many of these start times are approximate, as outdoor movie viewing is optimal as the sun has gone down. Make sure to arrive with plenty of time to find your spot and get your snacks ready before the show officially begins.
