🍿 Outside under the stars or in a cool air-conditioned theater, catch up on the best kids' movies this Summer in Wheaton, IL!
After a hectic year of school, sports, and activities, Summer is the perfect time to catch up on all the movies you may have missed throughout the year (or years past!) Luckily for you, many parks and movie theaters have special Summer movie series that make it easy for you to cross "see a movie" off your Summer bucket list. We have compiled all the kids summer movies (both outside and inside!) happening throughout the summer months in Wheaton, IL, Glen Ellyn, IL and the surrounding suburbs, organized by movie title, so it's easy to find one that you know your kids will enjoy, or one that they haven't seen yet so you can spend less time searching on the internet and more time enjoying the summer with your kids!
Most movies begin at dusk - check local websites and social media for weather and start time updates.
💁♂️ Pro-tip: Make sure to bring your movie snacks, blanket, bug spray, and lawn chairs!
💁♀️ Mom Tip: Bring a deck of cards for when they get bored while waiting for the movie to start, glow necklaces for after-dark fun, & a trash bag to keep the park clean.
Have fun!
