How Baby-Friendly is Palace Electric Cinemas?

71%Baby-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 71% Baby-Friendly: Thursday Babes-in-Arms sessions allow prams, dim lights, and free entry for under-3s, with change tables available, yet only one slot a week and loud trailers at other times reduce fit.

Positives:

  • Baby-friendly screenings: Dimmed lights and a tolerant audience let you soothe your baby without worry.

Place seems to be understaffed - I don't o...

We went last night. The condition of cinema is atrocious. Seats were filthy. Arm rest were missing. Seat comfort was poor. Won’t be going again. Can’t rate zero.

Love seeing movies here, makes it feel like an event. Just attended the special screening, in French, of The Count of Monte Cristo. Fantastic atmosphere complete with a serving of 3 French treats & a glass of wine. Great staff too even when they are overrun with patrons!
