One of my favorite things as a child was hopping into the car on a summer day when my mom said that she had a surprise! We jumped in the car and asked a million questions until she finally gave in.
“I’m taking you to a movie!”
We all were thrilled! Movies are such a fun experience both as a kid and an adult! Marcus Theatres is one of our favorites, and I’d love to tell you all about their upcoming budget-friendly (and free!) summer highlights. With six theatres throughout the Twin Cities, including the Oakdale, Rosemount and Southbridge Crossing Cinemas (Shakopee), rain or shine, Marcus Theatres is your go-to summer entertainment destination!
Did you know that Marcus Theatres offers free family parties? Say what! Mark your calendars for family parties to celebrate this summer’s biggest films. They are a great way to burn off energy before or after the movie! (Film admission is sold separately. Make sure to purchase a movie ticket!)
