Looking for something fun to do tonight?🤩 Check this out:
AMC Entertainment and the Autism Society of America present “Avatar: The Way of Water" December 28th from 7 to 9pm at the AMC Tyson's Corner 16, 7850e Tyson's Corner Center, McLean, VA 22102.
This special opportunity is for those on the spectrum or with other disabilities to enjoy new current movies in a safe and accepting environment on a monthly basis with the "Sensory Friendly Films" program.

Families will be able to bring in their own snacks, and no previews or advertisements should be shown before the movie. Audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing - in other words, AMC's "Silence is Golden" policy will not be enforced, unless the safety of the audience is in question. More information can be found at
