Movies In the Park
Pack up your lawn chairs for an evening of family-friendly movies at Noble Park! Spend Thursday evenings outdoors watching Disney movies and other favorites on an inflatable screen with the whole family. Movies starting at dusk means cooler weather for an enjoyable outing away from the sun.
Stop for dinner at Pizza Inn, just across the street from Noble Park. Bring your favorite snacks or venture downtown for ice cream from Forever Sweet Creamery or Craving the Curls. However you choose to do family movie night, Paducah has many ways to make it an evening to remember!
