What to Bring

Make yourself comfortable and come prepared for an evening under the stars. Pack a warm jacket for the evening chill. ❄️ If you think you may get uncomfortable during a longer movie, consider bringing a pillow. Our backrests are perfect for leaning against, but the cushions are not very thick, so extra support may be helpful. You’re also welcome to bring a picnic blanket to place under your legs, as well as your own blanket if you prefer.✨ For more tips on making the most of your evening, read our guide to attending The Galileo Open Air Cinema.
