Do You Want to Build a Family Sing-Along: Scotia Cinema

The Scotia Cinema is a family movie theater in Scotia, NY that is an inexpensive, fun way to spend the afternoon. We went there this winter after building a snowman to sing "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" with Anna from Frozen. Not the "real" Anna, but the real one-on-screen Anna. She was hanging out for a while in Scotia. Who knew?

That's right! The Scotia Cinema, a totally family-friendly cinema, offers a family-sing-along with musical kid movies. For anyone whose little princess is obsessed with Frozen, singing along with the movie was The Most. We can't wait for the next sing-along movie opportunity. We will always go to there for the Scotia movie funtimes.

The theater is small, cute, and family-owned just for your family. The movie prices are inexpensive and the theater is clean and quaint (see photo below of screen). We were so pleased to find this gem hidden in our own backyard. I'm not sure it's really hidden (it's actually on a main street), but I think it's not well known due to limited marketing. Everyone should know how awesome this place is--it was a Scotia local yokel who told me about the theater. He said we'd love it. He was right.

Here are some more details you should know before you go, from the Scotia Cinema website About page: http://www.scotiacinema.net/scotia_cinema_about.htm "We obtain our films normally between 1 and 2 months after their opening date and charge an admission of about half of the area's first run theaters. Our concessions are also much more reasonably priced."

Note to those who go, I believe it is a cash-only theater. However, you won't need much cash. Tickets are around five bucks and popcorn is a dollar or two for a container. No need to drain the bank account for this mini-adventure.

We'll be heading there tomorrow for a showing of "Mr. Peabody & Sherman." This weekend is a "down" weekend filled with video games, organizing our house, and cleaning bathrooms. So for a quick adventure away from cleaning products and laundry, we'll head to Scotia and get our inexpensive movie-groove on.
