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 the aircraft carrier's flight deck at sunset. How cool!
This year's films dive deep into the mysteries of the ocean, inspired by the museum's newest exhibition, Mysteries From the Deep: Underwater Archaeology. From high-seas adventures to underwater discoveries, each movie explores humanity's fascination with the deep.
Here is the upcoming schedule:
— May 23 – Top Gun
— June 27 – Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
— July 25 – The Abyss
— August 22 – Atlantis: The Lost Empire
The movie will be played on a huge inflatable screen, so there's not a bad seat in the house. Doors open at 5pm and the movie starts at sunset. Fair warning: the spots fill up fast, so make sure to get there pretty early! 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.
As an extra bonus, screenings in June, July, and August, also include special activities where you can learn some cool science and history while you're onboard.
