The Intrepid Museum Movie Nights are one of New York's special summer highlights: open-air cinema on an aircraft carrier.
What to expect
On the flight deck of the Intrepid Museum, you can watch movies with views of the Hudson River and the skyline. The atmosphere is relaxed, a little like a picnic, just in one of the most impressive locations in the city.
Movie Nights take place once a month during the summer, and the program fits the setting perfectly, with films about aviation, adventure, and New York:
- May 22: Top Gun
- June 26: Independence Day
- July 31: National Treasure
- August 28: An American Tail: Fievel Goes West
Good to know
- Movie Nights are incredibly popular, so arriving early is a must.
