Taking young kids to the cinema is often a stressful experience for Singaporean parents. From children refusing to sit still, to them getting bored easily, and you shushing them in the dark…cinema trips can be more trouble than they are worth. But did you know a brilliant new kid-friendly cinema concept opened along Orchard Road? Wonderfully, Shaw Theatres Dreamers Lido completely eliminates parent guilt and toddler meltdowns. The cosy cinema hall is specifically designed for families with young children. And here’s why it’s a must-visit for your next cinema outing in Singapore.
Why is the Shaw Dreamers Lido cinema worth it for families?
The kid-friendly cinema trades rigid seating and booming surround sounds for a more relaxed, judgement-free zone where wiggles, giggles, and mid movie snack breaks are fully embraced. So parents who have been putting off a family movie date can head to Dreamers at Lido for the fun experience the kids have been waiting for. In fact, it’s the same concept as Shaw Theatres Dreamers Jewel which was the first-of-its-kind in the Lion City.
Meanwhile, the space is complete with a laid-back, living-room-style setup, featuring two tiers of ultra comfy beanbag seating. Plus, families have the freedom to choose their favourite spot upon arrival as seats are unassigned. To guarantee a clear line of sight for everyone, Shaw has purposefully limited the number of beanbags available per session.
Additionally, the cinema hall is crafted to be gentle on young senses with calming colours, soft ambient lighting, and low sound levels that are perfectly suited for sensitive ears. While the space is designed to be child-safe, children must still be supervised at all times.
Best of all, this upgraded movie magic is surprisingly cheap on the wallet. Toddlers below 90cm get to enter absolutely free with a paying adult. Although, older children’s tickets (under 13) start from $11, while standard adult tickets are $18.
