The Galileo Open Air Cinema at Kirstenbosch Garden is a summer bucket list experience. Kirstenbosch is Cape Town’s largest, most popular garden and is the ideal setting to watch your favourite movie at The Galileo, Cape Town’s beloved outdoor movie experience.

The Galileo screening for summer 2022/23 runs from 31 October 2022 until 29 April 2023, and every Wednesday to Friday screens at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. There will be select Fridays hosted at Century City’s Central Park. See the full Kirstenbosch schedule below, and book your ticket on webtickets.co.za/galileo.
Gather the gang for a picnic and a movie at this world-famous botanical garden in Newlands. This year’s Kirstenbosch selection has something for everyone with movies like Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone, House of Gucci and Die Hard. The Galileo's line-up is extensive, so you'll find something, whichever genre you prefer.
Arrive early and play games that are set out on the lawns. Image supplied by The Galileo Open Air Cinema (Photo by @retroyspective).
You can order food from the stalls at the venue and picnic while watching your movie. Order pizzas, burgers or fresh shawarmas. You can even order drinks, plus there’s coffee, tea and cold drinks, and, of course, movie essentials like popcorn. If you prefer, you can bring your own picnic.
Halaal and vegetarian options are available. Image: The Galileo Open Air Cinema (Photo by @retroyspective)
The Galileo is the ideal evening with family, friends, for work socials, date nights and birthday celebrations. This season again all are encouraged to come for free during their birthday week (excluding special shows). Arrive at the door with your ID to get in free.
The Galileo Open Air Cinema is the romantic setting for proposals. Follow the steps and fill in the form to arrange your proposal with The Galileo.
