The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester is a beautifully restored historic movie palace that offers a fantastic outing for grandparents and grandkids – it’s truly special to see a show in such a gorgeous, vintage setting! Kids will be mesmerized by the dazzling lights, incredible sound, and diverse performances ranging from concerts and comedy to family-friendly movie screenings. To make your visit easier, arrive a bit early (around 30-45 minutes before showtime) as parking can be tricky and allows for plenty of time to soak in the atmosphere and find accessible seating if needed.
