Sensory Friendly Films

Going to the movies is a great pastime for friends and families. However, the dark theater, large crowds, vivid smells, and the giant screen can be a sensory overload. AMC Theaters in Castleton has screenings where the lights are up and the volume is lowered. Children are welcome to move around, talk, and even dance during the movies! Catch the sensory-friendly viewing of a variety of new movies! Here you will find a link directly to the AMC website with more information on additional viewings scheduled!
