The St George Open Air Cinema offers breathtaking views of Sydney Harbor and the Opera House. As you take in the lights of the Harbor, many a times you’ll be more inclined to watch Harbor Bridge than the movie itself. It is considered as the top location by the tourists.

Located at Fleet steps, Mrs Macquarie’s Point in downtown Sydney the Cinema, adjacent to the Royal Botanic Gardens, this beautiful open air cinema offers good mix of new and old Hollywood flicks. There is a restaurant and a bar which offers food and drinks till 6:15 pm every night but bringing outside food is not allowed.

It is advisable to book your tickets in advance as it is the most popular outdoor cinema in Sydney. Sometime you do get tickets on site but there is always a queue. Tickets cost around $20 AUD. The screening starts at sunset with the spectacular Sydney skyline in the backdrop.

Over 200 metered parking spaces is available on Mrs Macquaries Road and discount parking is also available at Enacon Parking Cathedral Street Car Park, at the southern end of Cathedral St adjacent to Cook and Philip Park which is just 10 minute walk from the cinema. One can either take a stroll through the Botanical Gardens to reach the place or catch a bus or a taxi which is easily available.

Visit The St George Open Air Cinema for an amazing cinematic experience. It is a perfect way to spend a fine summer evening.

Sydney’s Moonlight Cinema

Located at Belvedere Amphitheatre in the gorgeous Centennial Park, Sydney’s Moonlight Cinema has a relaxed picnic style atmosphere where you can enjoy a good Hollywood’s classic, contemporary or latest releases with family& friends. The place has been a favorite for night entertainment with the locals for last 12years.

Though the place does not offer the spectacular view like St. George cinema but it has many advantages like bringing your own food, alcohol and picnic rug. Even a well behaved dog is allowed. The food stalls on site also offer a large variety of snacks etc.

One can watch good old and new movies in about $15 AUD. For AS$30 you can get a glass of beer and a special bean bag to relax. What more can one ask for? You can reach the venue by catching any of buses from the city or by a taxi. There is ample parking space available on Oxford St and also limited parking within Centennial Park on Carrington Drive.

So get into the holiday spirit for a special night at the Moonlight Cinema.

Starlight Cinema at North Sydney Oval and the Open Air Cinema at Bondi Beach are some other options for open air cinemas.
