There’s so much to explore in Minnesota! From restaurants and breweries to state parks and little-known waterfalls, it is rare for locals or visitors to run out of things to do. But sometimes, you just want to relax. Those times are great for sitting down to a good old-fashioned movie. One of our favorite spots to see a movie in Minnesota? The Hopkins Cinema. With its $3 movies, this might just be the cheapest family outing in the state. Take a look:

It should be noted that the Hopkins Cinema plays older movies. They may be a few months or years old, but you could discover a new-to-you favorite! In a comfortable seat with a pile of snacks, what could be better?
