Movies show on the Marquee Lawn, situated just to the left as you enter Gate 2 of Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

If bad weather forces us to cancel the show on the planned day, the show will be moved to the following day. ONLY when the second day is also canceled will a full refund be made to all ticket holders. Therefore, if weather is not looking great for the planned day, please ensure you are available to attend the following day.

Only when an event is canceled will a refund be granted. This will be done via the same method the ticket was paid through Webtickets. No refunds will be granted if the show is moved to the following day due to rain. Tickets are non-transferable to another date.

In the unlikely event that this were to happen, all ticket holders will be refunded the next day via the same method they paid for their tickets.

Unfortunately no private chairs or backrests are allowed into the movie area. You can, however, rent comfortable backrests for only R20 on the night or book them in advance for only R18 with the Comfy Ticket (while stocks last).

Yes, you can!

Yes there is, the ramp leading down to the marquee lawn offers easy access for a wheelchair. We also have a demarcated area for guests with a wheelchair to guarantee good viewing without obstructing the other guests. Let us know if you need any assistance on the day.

Smoking is not allowed on the grass area but there is a dedicated smoking area just behind the grass, still within view of the screen.

Everyone is welcome to attend our shows, however, since movies start late in the evening and since the area is dark, we do not specifically target children. Movies are geared towards an adult audience for the most part. Babies 2 years or younger enter free of charge - no online tickets needed.

Unfortunately not, but babies 2 years and younger enter free of charge - no online tickets needed.

You may enter Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens (Gate 2 only) free of charge from 6pm on movie nights.

We will start the movie as soon as the sun has set. Depending on the time of year, this will be any time from 7:30pm to 8.15pm - please visit our Programme page for specific movie times. Times will also be clearly noted on your ticket.

Unfortunately no animals are allowed to be brought to The Galileo Open Air Cinema.

As you enter Kirstenbosch, remain right and head up towards the mountain (Gate 2). There is plenty of secure parking here and this is the closest place to park.

All ticketing is handled by Webtickets. As soon as you purchase your ticket online, you will receive an email with your ticket. Please print it and bring it along so we can scan it. Alternatively, your bar code may be sent to your smart phone which we can also scan instead of the paper. Please do not forget your paper ticket or smart phone as we won't be able to let you in otherwise.

You can pay for your tickets online with Mastercard, Visa, Amex or Diners Club card.

Sure! You may also pay via EFT or Cash Deposit when purchasing your tickets online through Webtickets.

Only if tickets are still available will you be able to get them at the door. These will cost R70 and only cash will be accepted as we do not have credit card facilities available at the door.

You are more than welcome to bring you own picnic basket. At the Marquee Lawn area, various delightful, local food vendors will sell sweet and salty treats, including popcorn. There is no alcohol sold on premises but you are welcome to bring your own. You can read more about our food vendors here.
