GOOD TO KNOW Every film in the series is rated G or PG unless the museum notes otherwise. On the last Saturday of each month the 11am matinee becomes an Accessible Screening: open captions, dimmed-but-not-dark lights and lower volume, for neurodivergent viewers and their families. Verified upcoming: Nancy Drew on August 22, and Zootopia on August 29 as the accessible screening. Children 17 and under enter free.

Why it's worth your time

Most LA family film programming is seasonal or ticketed per event. This is weekly, indoors and air-conditioned, and the monthly sensory-friendly edition is a genuine accommodation rather than a label — captions on, house lights up, sound down.
