If you live in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, then you should know that Northern Virginia boast several movie theaters that will enable you to enjoy yourself without having to hire a babysitter. Theaters are now welcoming parents to bring their babies along to special movie showings. Lighting is increased to allow you to feed and change your child, and the sound is lowered to protect little ears. There's no need to be embarrassed or to flee the theater if your child cries. Some theaters even offer changing facilities right in the auditorium. Children under one year old are usually free. Read on to discover three movie theaters in McLean, Fairfax, and Alexandria that provide a film-going experience specifically catered to babies, moms, and dads.

What a wonderful idea - we've thought of sneaking our baby to one of our movie theaters here in Tampa, Florida. We are lucky to have a really good baby and we know she would be fine, but we have also thought about - how loud the speakers would be for her ears.
My husband and I have taken our daughter to the movies. We chose a movie that wouldn't have to loud of sounds. She slept throught the whole movie once she was done conducting the credits. She was so funny. I do wish that they had a place like that here in Michigan though. It would be nice to not have to worry about wether or not the baby is going to be fussy or what not.
