Pre-show activities start at 5:00 pm with music, games, a prize wheel and giveaways plus a make-and-take craft that changes with each film (a treasure map, crafts, wooden flower art), and surprise character appearances; the film starts at 6:30 pm. The fall titles are Minions & Monsters (October 24), Toy Story 5 (November 7) and Goat (November 21). Seating is first come, first served on the courtyard, so bring folding chairs or blankets and arrive early; restaurants around the courtyard sell dinner before the movie. Suits families with children of any age who can stay up for an evening film. ## Similar picks in Phoenix - [Candie's Halloween Character Carnival — Arizona Boardwalk](https://grassyknees.com/phoenix/activities/candie-s-halloween-character-carnival-arizona-boardwalk--listing-080f9a2b5d5b97dce40c2038) — Sat, Oct 24 · 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM · Arizona Boardwalk Courtyard, Scottsdale · All ages · Free · checked Oct 24.
