Free and Easy in New York City

See Movies for Free at MoMA

Want to avoid an expensive night at the movies with the kids? Try some family-friendly free entertainment in some of New York’s most exciting venues.

•    At the Museum of Modern Art kids are treated right. Come on Friday between 4 and 8pm for a free screening of some off-the-beaten track entertainment for kids under 16. Check the schedule to pick a movie that’s right for you and your family.

•    The Sony Wonder Technology Lab will please film lovers of all ages. The youngest can choose from such popular favorites as Dora the Explorer, Sesame Street and Elmo’s World while the crowd a bit older can enjoy a large selection of G and PG films with a proven track record. Tickets must be reserved two weeks in advance and any tickets not reserved will be available 30 minutes before show time.

•    The New York City Library has a whole host of free offerings for kids, from films to author talks and concerts. The Brooklyn Public Library often screens top-notch films completely free of charge.
