Moonlight Cinema Melbourne

Amazing at the Moonlight Cinema at the Botanical Gardens. The Gentleman was very accommodating & gave us a great spot on the Luxury Bean Bags despite our large group 🥂🥂🥂 🍿 🍱

Watched Conclave with the Singapore Airlines Gold Grass seat ($49) which gets you up the front row and nice cushion seats. You can bring your own food and drinks (alcohol included) but there’s also food available from the kitchen (chipotle shaker fries at $9.50 is well recommended). I recommend bring your own bag and fill it with food, drinks and especially insect repellent.

Beautiful location, love that there’s heaps of beanbags available if you don’t want to sit on the floor. Favourite thing is they show throwbacks as well as new releases. Have been twice and will definitely go again!

Amazing experience. The bean bags were super comfy and the whole vibe was so relaxing. We got tickets for the Connoisseur Lounge, and the free ice cream was such a nice bonus. Watching a movie under the stars felt magical. Everything was really well set up. The screen was big enough to view from several sides, the sound carried well, and the quality was great. There was a huge crowd too!

Lovely experience! Go early so you can enjoy the gardens and secure yourself a good spot close to the screen. Be aware that toilets are a bit of a walk! It can get chilly at night even in the summer so being warm clothes and blankets!

Overall, it was a really fun experience with a cool concept. Watching a movie outdoors definitely added a unique twist to the evening. However, there are a couple of things to note. First, make sure to bring a blanket. Also, if you’re planning to grab a bite to eat, I’d recommend bringing your own snacks. The food options weren’t the best, and hot food is no longer available long before the movie starts. I would recommend getting the seats ways better for comfort.

This is my first and second time at Moonlight Cinema 2025 in just two days, and I totally love it! I’ll definitely come back next season. I recommend renting a bean bag; it’s very comfy. P.S. If you're going for a romantic movie, it might be crowded, so you may want to arrive a bit early.

Great idea in the Botanical Gardens. While there is space to bring your own chair or blanket, best idea is to book a bean bag and recline in comfort. Food and drinks available. Can get cool in the evening after the sun goes down…you might like to bring a blanket. Parking along Birdwood Avenue, paid parking applies up until 10pm., with ‘EasyPay’ app.
