Review:
Village Cinemas Geelong offers a particularly appealing movie experience for families with younger children thanks to its Vjunior cinema.
Unlike a traditional cinema, where children are expected to sit quietly throughout the movie, Vjunior provides an opportunity to play before the film begins and have a break during the screening.
The combination of the large slide, interactive activities, comfortable seating and modified sound and lighting creates a more relaxed movie-going experience for children.
The ten-minute intermission is another welcome feature, especially for children who find sitting through an entire movie difficult.
For families with older children and teenagers, the standard and premium cinemas offer a wider selection of films and more traditional cinema experiences.
One consideration is the additional cost of Vjunior compared with standard movie tickets. Families should also be aware that the play facilities are not available continuously throughout the screening.
Overall, Village Cinemas Geelong is a good option for a family outing, particularly on rainy or very hot days when an indoor activity is appealing.
