Movies With A View

No, all Movies With A View events are open to all ages. However, guardians should be aware that titles may include PG-13 and R rated selections, which are clearly noted. We encourage guardians to do their own research ahead of time to ensure the movie is suiting and appropriate for your children. Additionally, all minors should be accompanied by an adult. The Conservancy is not responsible for gauging appropriateness of titles for movie-goers.

Unfortunately, no to both. Chairs (other than wheelchairs) are not allowed on the lawn, so please bring your own picnic blanket. Portable stadium-style cushion seats without legs or hard pieces are a great option. Dogs are not allowed on the lawns at any time, per Park rules.

For those who require physical accommodations, there is a limited reserved seating area at the top of the lawn (on the hardscape). Please bring your own chair, and see a Conservancy staff member the welcome tent at top of the lawn to inquire.

Of course. Feel free to bring in your own food, but a reminder that outside alcohol and glass is always prohibited on the lawn. Please be advised that bag checks will be conducted at the entrance.

All Movies With A View titles are carefully selected by the Conservancy’s Volunteer Film Committee. The Committee selects a theme each year, and works to curate a broad selection of suiting titles for the public to enjoy. Please note that screening rights and screening costs also are factored into their decisions (for example, we would not be able to show a brand new titles still in theaters).
