Outdoor cinemas are about to spring up on Auckland for the Kiwi Summer days ahead, and we know exactly where and when to find them.
Movies in the Park
Auckland Council’s Movies in the Park begin this Friday night (January 15th) with Jurassic World in Takapuna before bringing more free screenings of different movies all around the city through to March. This includes the criminally underrated Penguins of Madagascar movie at David Lange Park in Mangere (22 Jan), ’70s classic Grease at Tahaki Reserve in Mt. Eden (12 Feb), the unbearably adorable Paddington at Central Park in Papakura (27 Feb) and heaps more.

Ben and Jerry’s OpenAir Cinemas
The brand new Ben and Jerry’s OpenAir Cinemas in Western Springs Quarry is also gaining quite a bit of attention (Star Wars and free ice cream will do that). Kicking off with The Force Awakens on Feb 5 followed by Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur Feb 6, the screening schedule is riddled with quality recent releases such as Joy, Brooklyn, The Big Short, and The Hateful Eight as well as cinema classics Back to the Future and Grease (again).
