Cinemas in Western Australia

Three of these are indoor cinemas and two only run in the warmer months, so start with the season. Event Cinemas Innaloo is the format-heavy choice: standard weekend sessions, 4DX for older kids, an IMAX screen regulars rate above other Perth locations, and mums-and-bubs sessions where staff will adjust the lighting on request. Reviewers call Gold Class food hit-and-miss, so standard sessions are the safer bet. Reading Cinemas Belmont suits eastern-suburbs families: a parenting guide describes it as good value, Tuesday discounts make regular visits workable, and nearby restaurants mean no driving between dinner and the film. Reviews flag seating comfort below expectations and sparse wheelchair seating, so call ahead if you need it.

Palace Cinemas Raine Square is the special-occasion option. The Rooftop Movies site notes it as the only cinema in the Perth CBD, reachable by train from Perth Station, and its Platinum screens bring gnocchi and pizza to your seat. Children aged three and up are welcome, and birthday packages include function spaces, booked well ahead for weekends. Service can be uneven, so arrive early for Platinum sessions.

Luna Palace Cinemas in Leederville leans arthouse: world cinema, curated festivals, a heritage building with balcony seats in Cinema One, and a beanbag summer outdoor cinema with a grazing board that works for children aged 10 and up. Confirm the venue at purchase, since Luna SX is in Fremantle.

For outdoor nights, Rooftop Movies pairs beanbags and sunset views with background noise from nearby venues and a sharp temperature drop after sunset, best for older kids used to evening outings. Moonlight Cinema Perth in Kings Park is BYO food and low chairs on the lawn, suited to children six and up; toddlers can struggle with the late start and crowd density.
