Family Movie Night at Container Park

We have been to several family movie nights at container park, but this by far was the coldest. How appropriate with the feature being The Polar Express. The temp during the movies was in the mid 40s. Burr! Because of the temp is most likely why the lower attendance.
During the summer months they play movies on what seems to be a weekly on Thursdays schedule. Otherwise they will include family movie night for special events or when kids are out of school.
Always before the feature begins they have boxes that kids can customize and repurpose into their own personal space to give the movie a drive in type of setting. This is always fun to watch the creative side of children’s imagination flourish.
Fun times will be had at family movie night. Don’t forget to stop by one of the great bar and or restaurants for drinks and snacks during your movie experience.

Downtown Container Park hosts a Family Movie Night every Thursday night (this weekly event started in April). Movies are slated to begin around 7 to 7:30PM, although when I attended the movie didn’t kick off until around 8PM. Basically they waited until sunset to start the movie. Families are invited to bring blankets and chairs and spread out across the grassy area in front of the projection screen. The movie is set up towards the rear of the park, behind the large playground and in front of the stationary train. To help patrons endure the heat, large fans with misters are placed on both sides of the grassy area. I wouldn’t say the fans helped much, though.
On this occasion, Ghostbusters was playing and it was a full house. I’d recommend coming early to ensure you get a good spot.
Here’s the upcoming schedule for August:
⁸⁄₆ — Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
⁸⁄₁₃ — Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade
⁸⁄₂₀ — Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
⁸⁄₂₇ — The Dark Knight Rises
Projection quality and volume was perfectly fine. Even the kids were well behaved. I’d definitely recommend Family Movie Night to, well, families lol. It’s a 100% free event and would make for a cheap night out.
