Summer Movies in the Tampa Bay Area

Summer’s heat drives us all indoors! Movie theaters come to the rescue, offering reduced-priced, family-friendly films during the day. Beyond the major national chains, many smaller local theaters also join in with these budget-friendly showings. Since the movie selections differ by theater, checking local listings is key to finding the perfect flick for your munchkins.
