Movies for Mommies
Movies for Mommies! Do I need to say more? Since Blake, we’ve gone to the movies a handful of times. What a great idea to start Movies for Mommies! This week, Bad Moms staring Mila Kunis was showing at the Dunbar Theatre in Vancouver. Movies run alternating Wednesdays at 11:30am at the Dunbar location. They also have showings at Vancity Theatre downtown on selected Wednesdays.
We got to the Dunbar Theatre around 11:15am and there was a line of 12 moms with babies ahead of us. The website says doors open at 10:30am, whereas the Facebook page says 11:00am. I’m not quite sure when the doors really opened but they didn’t start the show until everyone was in. When we walked in, we received a sample bag and ballot for a chance to win prizes.The theatre had plenty of space for strollers and it was very baby friendly! The movie sound was reduced (I brought ear muffs and didn’t need them), the lights were off (sleep, baby, sleep!), change tables, diapers, wipes, and bottle warmers were available. We overheard a person say the other week had an attendance of five moms. This week’s turn out was probably so busy because Bad Moms was playing. I mean, what mom doesn’t want to see this movie!?
Cost
I don’t go on Groupon much but for some reason I was browsing on the website the night before and found a Groupon deal for $16— one movie, one popcorn for two people at the Dunbar Theatre. On the Movies for Mommies website, tickets cost:
Adults $11.50 (2D) and $14.50 (3D)
Children (3-13) $8.00 (2D) and $11 (3D)
Babies (0-12 months) FREE
On the Movies for Mommies Facebook page, the cost says $9.75, which is how much my friend said she paid. Either way, I got a great deal off Groupon! For those ages 14+, I’m unsure on the cost but I would guess $9.75 or contact them and ask. Dads, friends, grandparents, caregivers, and others are all welcome to join!
