The gates open at 5.30pm (there is live entertainment) and the film starts at around 8.15ppm. We arrived at 7.30pm and most of the space was full on the hill. We found a spot up the back (we had a great view) and settled in. Only bringing along blankets and pillows, we splurged and hired bean loungers - the kids loved them. But at $8 a pop would be out of the question for a large family. We saw a family with inflatable sleeping bags which did the same job.
As the sun went down the kids got more excited. The felt like they were on a camping trip and relaxing under the stars, it reminded me of going to a drive in theatre when I was a child. Before the movie, I was a bit apprehensive of the screen and sound quality but once the movie got underway it was fantastic.
We are looking forward to our next Open Air Cinema adventure.
