Bring baby to the movies

If I was allowed to bring Micro to watch "Twilight" (oh yeah, that's right, I'm a fan of the book series--please, please let "New Moon" be 30x better!) when it premiered last November, I would have. Yikes, bring a baby to the movies! Yes, it's possible! Select local theatres around the Bay Area sponsor such things. When Micro was three months old we had heard of Baby Brigade at our now-closed Parkway Theatre in Oakland. Every Monday night, the first two evening showings were reserved for parents and babies (under 1) to view current movies. It's a great and novel idea. If your baby cries, you won't be alone. You can also stroll them in the back to put them to sleep with others by your side and feed comfortably in the dark (so long as you're discreet if nursing).


Unfortunately, Micro, Mr. Fliz, and I, never managed to take advantage of that and hope to find other locations that offer something similar. And I did find some! Maybe I can take advantage of it while Micro's still eligible. I just don't know if I'll get a chance to watch the movie comfortably or if I'll be running around in the semi-dark trying to keep him out of corners he shouldn't be crawling to.

Below are links to theatres around the Bay that are outings for Parents and babies for when Netflix and Blockbuster just won't cut it:

If you know of more places, please share with us mommies in the comments section. If anyone has gone to one of these, please let me know how it went and what you liked or didn't like. I'll make sure to create a post if and when I go to one.

  1. If I only knew these existed when our little ones were less than one I would have tried it. We went to drive in movies instead, which also worked out, but when they are crying, you got to go outside to walk them around. Fine for the summer night, but not during fall/winter!
