Movie Night: Minions
To help keep the Great Lawn safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for everyone, please review our guidelines below before arriving.
Wrap up our 2026 movie series in the Park with a little mischief and a lot of fun by seeing where it all began with Minions (PG)!
In this prequel to “Despicable Me,” a trio of small yellow minions venture forth to discover a new evil genius to serve. Later, they pledge their loyalty to a supervillainess and her inventor husband as part of a plan to steal the British royal crown.
Come early to enjoy pre-screening activities for all ages, making it a perfect night out for everyone. These free events are open to the public so stay tuned for more details!
