Here in the Deep South, we need some good summer activities that are indoors. We have so many great local playgrounds, splash pads, and swimming holes, but there are days I just want air conditioning and a soft chair, especially as the temperatures climb to 90 and above. Enter cheap flicks for the family! So, here are all the theaters offering discounted summer movies for kids around Birmingham this season:
