Lido Cinemas in Hawthorn is a top pick in the east. With multiple screens showing everything from blockbuster hits to indie gems, the boutique theatres are ideal for kids who might be overwhelmed by larger cinemas. Mamma loves grabbing popcorn, settling in, and enjoying a little calm while the little ones snuggle up—though be prepared for a tiny buddy on your lap during the scary scenes! Don’t forget to check out their rooftop cinema for a grown-up summer treat.
