🍫 Easter Friday Adventure – Rise of the Guardians
Date: Friday, 03 April
Venue: Central Park, Century City
Doors Open: 17h00

Kicking off the Easter weekend is the heartwarming animated adventure Rise of the Guardians. Set against the lush green lawns of Central Park in Century City, families can arrive early, settle in and soak up the festive atmosphere before the movie begins.
From 17h00, guests can explore the venue, grab delicious eats and enjoy pre-movie excitement as the sun sets. When the screen lights up at 19h30, the adventure begins — filled with imagination, action and just the right amount of magic for young (and young-at-heart) viewers.
🍭 Easter Sunday Spectacle – Wonka
Date: Sunday, 05 April
Venue: Kirstenbosch Garden
Doors Open: 17h00
Movie Starts: 19h30
Easter Sunday calls for something whimsical — and Wonka delivers exactly that. Set in the breathtaking surrounds of Kirstenbosch Garden, this special screening offers families the chance to end their long weekend on a high note.
With Table Mountain as the backdrop and the sky transforming into evening hues, guests can relax on the lawns while enjoying a story filled with charm, imagination and sweet surprises.
More Than Just a Movie
The Galileo experience is about more than the film. It’s about arriving early, spreading out picnic blankets and turning movie night into a full evening event.
Guests can look forward to:
🍿 A variety of food options available on-site
🍔 Gourmet burgers, pizza, snacks and sweet treats
🍫 Easter-inspired delights for the festive mood
🥤 Refreshing beverages for both kids and adults
Families are also welcome to bring along picnic essentials to make the evening their own. It’s relaxed, welcoming and designed to cater to all ages.
From animated heroes to chocolate factory adventures, The Galileo’s Easter shows are thoughtfully chosen to delight children while entertaining parents too. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the long weekend — outdoors, together and under the stars.
With doors opening at 17h00 for both screenings, there’s plenty of time to enjoy the atmosphere before the movies begin at approximately at 19h30 (once the sun sets). Because this Easter, memories aren’t just found in baskets — they’re made on blankets beneath the night sky.
