Families can watch two movies from the pool on Monday, July 27, when the Florence Aquatic Center hosts its Dive-In Movie Night Double Feature.
The lineup starts with "Lilo & Stitch" (PG) at 4 p.m. and wraps with "Twisters" (PG-13) at 8 p.m., according to a City of Florence press release. Admission is free for aquatic center members and $5 for non-members.
The city is encouraging guests to arrive early and make a full day of it. The facility opens at 11 a.m., giving families time to hit the lazy river, zero-depth pool, spray grounds, and slides before the first film rolls. The city suggests bringing pool floats.
