12th Jan - Ice Age: Continental Drift

Being school holidays time, this is probably the best free event which both adults and kids will enjoy. A range of food and beverages will be available for purchase at Cathy Freeman Park from 6pm.

Being such a popular event, the parking at Sydney Olympic Park can become slightly painful. A good idea is to get there early and find a good spot to spread your picnic rug. Take a picnic basket and watch the movies alfresco under the starry sky.

With so many outdoor cinema options available during summer, Movies by the Boulevard boasts of one of the best setting as it is a huge park, large screen, great movie selection and absolutely free. The flip side of it is that you might find it slightly noisy. But if it is a great outdoor cinema experience you are after then this is your best bet. Just be sure to carry a pillow or a low lying chair for some back support during the movie. Another tip is to look out for the weather forecast on the day. It might be good to avoid rainy nights if any.
