Outdoor screening of the animated film The Polar Express at the Skylawn rooftop park in downtown Houston, with food and drinks available for purchase.
The Polar Express is playing at Skylawn on Friday, December 23, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's part of POST's 'Movie Nights on Skylawn' series, which brings cinema to the rooftop park with city views across the center of downtown Houston. The screenings are open to the public and all ages, so it's one of those nights that works just as well for a family outing as it does for a couple of friends catching a movie together.
Each edition of the series screens a title that ranges from seasonal favorites to all-time classics, and The Polar Express fits right into that seasonal slot. It's a holiday movie about a boy who boards a magical train to the North Pole on Christmas Eve, and seeing it outdoors on a rooftop in late December puts it in its proper element. The movie runs from 7 PM to 9 PM, which means you're in and out before the night gets too late.
Since the screening is on the roof, you'll have the Houston skyline as your backdrop. It's a rooftop park, so you're sitting outside with the city spread out around you rather than inside a traditional theater. If you're hungry or thirsty, food and drinks are available to purchase from POST Market, so you can grab something to eat before the movie starts or keep a few snacks on hand for the run.
