This Perth institution is one of the last of its kind in all of Australia. Kids love the novelty of a drive in cinema.

Back in the car and pile the boot with pillows, blankets and bean bags. BYO food is allowed and there is also a snack bar. There’s often a double feature on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, so you may get two movies for the price of one! Gates open at 6:30 and movie starts at 7:30. The gate shuts when the cinema is full, so it’s best to get there early. CASH only. Cheap Tuesday –  just $22 per car!
