Kid Friendly Movie Theater with a Playground in DFW: B&B Theatres🌟 Why we love it: ❤️ B&B Theaters has a “Screen Play” theater just for kids! 🤩 ❤️ Little ones can get their wiggles out in an indoor playground before the movie starts. There’s a play structure with slides and climbing plus a toddler area. ❤️ The seats fully recline so it’s super comfy! ❤️ Current family friendly movies offered in Screen Play include Despicable Me 4 and Inside Out 2. Both are great! Good to know: - You can enter the theater 30 minutes before the movie to enjoy the play area. Once the movie starts and the lights dim, it’s best for kids to stay in their seats as the play area is not lit. - We recommend purchasing tickets in advance as these screenings sell out more quickly than others since they have less seats. - Visit on Tuesdays to save money on tickets! Note that you will need to sign up for their loyalty program to receive the discount. 📍 Two locations in Red Oak & Wylie
