First-Ever Family Drive-In Movie Day

This spring, Milwaukee Recreation will host the first-ever Family Drive-In Movie Day. Families are invited to join us for a day of physically distanced fun at this classic drive-in movie experience. Three family-friendly movies will be played throughout the day at the MPS Central Services Building.

This will be one of the only drive-in movie experiences in the city of Milwaukee. Families can sign up to see one movie or all three. Popcorn and water will be provided, but families are encouraged to bring additional snacks to eat during the films.

“We are really excited about this brand new event,” Lauren Lopez, Recreation Manager, said. “We know folks are looking for something fun and different to do right now and we think this is a great way to get out of the house and have some quality time with your family while staying safe and physically distant. We hope everyone will enjoy the movies and we can continue the event for years to come.”
