Many free outdoor movie screenings are taking place all over town this summer, but none boast an ambiance quite like that of the Intrepid Museum's Summer Movie Series. After all, you get to watch some awesome movies while hanging out on aircraft carrier's flight deck at sunset. How cool!
In connection with the museum's fascinating newest exhibition: Apollo: When We Went to the Moon, all of the movies this summer will feature stories about humankind’s exploration and fascination with the Moon. Here is the upcoming schedule:
— Friday, May 24: Top Gun: Maverick
— Friday, June 28: Apollo 13
— Friday, July 26: First Man
— Friday, August 23: Moonfall
The movie will be played on a huge inflatable screen, so there's not a bad seat in the house. Doors open at 7pm and the movie starts at sunset. Make sure to bring some blankets and lawn chairs along. You can also bring your own food and drinks (alcohol is not permitted, though), and light snacks will be sold at the event.
Fair warning: the spots fill up fast, so make sure to get there pretty early!
Several of the movie nights also coincide with The Intrepid's Free Fridays (held on June 28, July 26, and August 23), where you can learn some cool science and history while you're onboard.
