Summer movies for kids: Free, reduced prices available at many theaters’ lineups

BROKEN ARROW WARREN THEATRE

Upwards of 20,000 guests attended the Broken Arrow luxury theater’s ultra-popular summer movie series for kids that began last summer with an amazing offer: Children age 13 and younger get not only free movies, but also free concessions and live entertainment at the theater.

Admission to these movies for those age 14 and older, including adults, will also be free. The shows begin next week and will take place at 10 a.m. Tuesdays, with doors opening at 9 a.m.

Some things to know: The free tickets will be limited to six per adult for each movie; all tickets will be for reserved seating; tickets must be picked up in person at the theater box office and will not be available online; the tickets can be picked up as early as the Saturday before each Tuesday showing.
