Deep Eddy by Portal and Friends on FlickrOn Saturday, the Splash Party Movie Nights return to Deep Eddy Pool, just in time to cool off from the triple-digit temps predicted for this week.

The series runs every Saturday excluding Independence Day through the first weekend in August, starting at dusk. You can chill in the spring-fed pool, picnic on the lawn, and buy snacks from the refreshment stand.

The lineup includes six family-friendly movies:

  • The Tale of Despereaux: June 20
  • Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (the only PG-13 film): June 27
  • Madagascar 2: July 11
  • Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3-D: July 18
  • Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: July 25
  • Kung Fu Panda: August 1

You might note that some of these same titles are playing at other kid-friendly summer film series around town, and Willy Wonka is also featured at a special rooftop screening at Whole Foods on Friday. So you have options when it comes to venues. In this heat, having the water to cool off in while getting your film geek on seems like a good option.

The movie nights are covered under the regular pool entrance fee, which varies from $1-3 and does not include parking fees. Call 472-8546 for more information.
