We all know that babies can be restless and loud when it comes to outings, but that doesn't mean you shouldn’t get the chance to go out and enjoy a good movie with your bub!

Baby-friendly movie sessions are special screenings where mums, dads, carers and their bubs can sit and enjoy a movie without feeling the need to leave just because their child is crying. We've rounded up all the Sydney cinemas and Sydney movie sessions you can take your baby to.

Please note: These sessions are usually not available during the school holidays.

The Best Mums and Bubs Movie Sessions in Sydney

1. Event Junior

If you've got big and little kids in tow, Event Junior is making it easy to take the whole family to the movies with their super-cool movie playgrounds — yep, you read that right!

Movie playgrounds are most definitely a thing, particularly for mums with bubs and kids who can't sit still. So far, Event Cinemas at Macquarie Centre is the only Event Junior in Sydney, but we're hoping more will pop up in the future!

Location: Event Junior at Macquarie Centre, Herring Road and Waterloo Rd, Macquarie Park

2. Baby Daze – Dendy

Enjoy a relaxed cinema experience with baby-friendly screenings at Dendy running every Thursday and Friday morning. Tickets are just $10, and little ones under five can attend for free!

The Baby Daze sessions at Newtown are specially designed for parents and carers, featuring softly lit cinemas (so you're not sitting in complete darkness) and lower volume levels to keep things comfortable for young ears.

While everyone is welcome, these sessions are thoughtfully set up to make going to the movies easier and more enjoyable for mums and bubs.

Location: 261-263 King St, Newtown

3. Bring Your Baby – Event Cinemas

During Event Cinema Bring Your Baby screenings, cinemas are lightly lit so you can see the action and keep an eye on the little ones.

They have a huge line-up of the latest films; however, the schedule varies by location, so check with your local cinema to see what's happening. Bring Your Baby sessions are also available in Gold Class. Ooh, la la!

Location: Multiple throughout Sydney – visit Event Cinemas for your nearest cinema.

4. Babes in Arms – Palace Cinemas

The Palace Babes In Arms screenings, specifically designed with the needs of parents and their bubs in mind, are a perfect opportunity to catch the latest release film in the comfort of a lightly dimmed cinema, with easy pram access (with on-site lifts), and no one minds how much noise is made — half the audience are in nappies!

Location: Multiple throughout Sydney – visit Palace Cinemas for your nearest cinema.

5. BYO Baby — Ritz Cinema

Watch the latest films on Ritz's largest screen in Cinema 1 and catch up with other parents and bubs. Ritz Cinema BYO Baby sessions screen the latest films dedicated to carers with babies, with no pressure to leave the cinema if your baby cries. The lights are dimmed, and the sound level is reduced for the comfort of the bubs.

Location: 45 St Pauls St, Randwick

6. Prams at the Pix – Hoyts Cinemas

Relax and unwind, and watch the latest movies on the big screen at Hoyts Cinema Prams At The Pix, including comedy, drama, action and sci-fi flicks. They'll dim the lights and soften the volume to ensure you can sit back and enjoy your break. 

Location: Multiple throughout Sydney – visit Hoyts for your nearest cinema.

7. Mums, Dads and Bubs — The Orpheum

*Currently on hold*

You’ll always find retro films, sing-alongs and unique movies playing at the Orpheum's Mums, Dads & Bubs sessions. Every fortnight on Mondays, you can enjoy all of them with your bub!
