Luna Palace Cinema Leederville

You can catch the big blockbuster films too, but we recommend regularly checking their programs to explore their specially curated film festivals, it’s a great way to discover something new – especially if you’re a fan of international cinema.

With fresh popcorn and homemade choc bombs, the heritage-listed movie hall and informal seating all come together to form a playfully nostalgic atmosphere. Not to mention, you'll find retro arcade games and a miniature golf course nearby if you're keen for a full day of activities. Add it to your next Rottnest trip.

Moonlight Cinema 

Moonlight Cinema provides another exceptional outdoor movie option throughout the summer. Located at May Drive Parkland in Kings Park, it's a beautiful area surrounded by lush Australian botanic gardens. It's perfect for a picnic-style movie night, there are a few bean beds on site for hire but we recommend layering up with picnic rugs and blankets. Enjoy a film on the grass with a picnic basket of your favourite BYO food and drinks (including alcohol).
