The weather is still is still pretty great right now, but before long you’ll be looking for a way to spend most of your time indoors in the AC. Here’s a roundup of FREE and cheap summer movies in Austin (and beyond), so you can keep cool for at least a couple of hours. Don’t forget the popcorn!

Alamo Kids Camp
Alamo Drafthouse, locations vary
School is out and that means it’s time for Kids Camp! Kids Camp is an affordable way for families to watch great films together all summer at the Alamo Drafthouse.  Tickets are super cheap ($1-$5) and 100% of ticket sales benefit great local nonprofits. It’s an easy way to teach kids about giving back to the community while enjoying some family fun. Most Kids Camp screenings are ages 3 and up, but some locations are All Ages – please check here for local policies. Regular no talking/texting policies apply and noisy families may be asked to leave. A list of upcoming films can be found here.
