Factual error: The kids are leaving a movie theater that's playing I Was a Teenage Werewolf. This film was released in June of 1957. So one, they are in 1960 and this film would not still be playing. And two, they were shown still attending school, but they would not be attending school in June during summer break.
Suggested correction: Before the rise of home video, movies had much longer theatrical lives. It was not uncommon for a film like this to be shown as a Saturday matinee years after its initial release. I personally remember a local theater showing movies from the 60s well into the 70s.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene were the adults go back into the sewer, and they have the feeling: "Something is coming", you can see the shadow of the cameraman, twice. One time, coming closer from a pipe, and another time, moving away. Look on the right wall/right on the floor.

Continuity mistake: When the clown is causing the library to be the target of a windy rainstorm, the books are being pulled off the shelves row by row. They cut back to the shelf where the books have already been pulled off, and yet there are still many on there!
Continuity mistake: In the part where the 7 kids are looking at Mike's photo book, Pennywise turns the page to the picture that comes to life. When the page is first flipped, you can see that on that page, there are a few pictures on that page. But, when Stan throws the book on the ground, that picture is the only one on that page.
Continuity mistake: When Ben is running from the trio, he goes into the Barrens and spots a drainpipe to hide in. The pipe has a smooth-surface and has water running from it. When it shows Ben hiding in it, the pipe is rifled and there's no water coming out of it. It's not even wet on the inside.

Ben starts to walk away as Bill rides his bike away; Beverly muses "My heart burns there too" while looking longingly after Bill. A white 1980s-era box truck is parked down the street in the direction that Ben is heading.
Character mistake: A newspaper is shown saying "Girls Body Found" as plural when it should be "Girl's Body Found" as a possessive.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning when the blonde girl is in front of the clown, she has a tricycle beside her which disappears and reappears between shots.
