Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) has transformed the traditional movie outing into an all-encompassing, interactive family destination. Recognised as the winner of the BabyTalk and MamaPapa Readers’ Choice Awards 2026 for Family Friendly Cinema, GSC Play seamlessly blends the wonder of storytelling on the big screen with engaging activities that cater to children and parents alike. By prioritising comfort, entertainment, and education, GSC ensures that every visit leaves a lasting impression.
The magic begins long before the main feature rolls. GSC’s innovative Play Halls are designed to let children release their energy in a vibrant, safe, and fully interactive environment. Featuring exciting indoor slides, massive ball pits, and themed play zones, these dedicated halls allow little ones to climb, explore, and socialise. Meanwhile, parents can sit back and relax, fully reassured that their children are enjoying a space tailored specifically to their safety and happiness.
Hassle Free Celebrations and Educational Adventures
Planning a child’s birthday party can be a daunting task, but GSC Play makes the entire process effortless. Through the Play Birthday and Movie Party Packages, parents are provided with a complete, hassle-free hosting experience. These comprehensive packages include standard movie tickets for the whole group, delicious party treats, and thoughtful gifts. With friendly staff members on hand to manage the event logistics, parents can focus entirely on making memories with their child.
Beyond pure entertainment, GSC Play champions educational discovery through the Play Reel Adventure Tour. This guided, behind-the-scenes journey invites curious young minds to explore the inner workings of a cinema. Children get hands-on experience by learning how to purchase tickets, uncovering the secrets behind making GSC’s signature popcorn, and even stepping inside the projection room to see how movies come to life. The excursion concludes with a curated, family-friendly movie screening and a delicious GSC Play Meal, making it the ideal choice for school trips or weekend family outings.
A Commitment to Inclusive Spaces
GSC firmly believes that the joy of cinema should be accessible to everyone. To support families with special-needs children, GSC hosts Sensory Friendly Screenings featuring lowered sound levels and dimmed, ambient lighting to create a calm and welcoming environment. Additionally, they have introduced the GSC Social Story, which is a thoughtfully designed preparation guide that helps parents walk their children through what to expect during a day at the movies, ensuring a smooth, comforting, and magical experience for all.
GSC Play is the BabyTalk & MamaPapa Readers’ Choice Awards 2026 winner for BEST Family-Friendly Cinema.
