We went to see the Kransky Sisters perform. They are a superior act you must make it to see them when they next come to Adelaide. This is a versatile Cinema. They have a range of movies showing and often intersperse some live performances. A small theatre, wonderful staff and a well stocked bar. There is also a great coffee shop next door. Great parking near the Cinema too! Enjoy your visit, not far up Kensington road from CBD.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families who want more than a standard multiplex β€” the Regal adds live performances, special community screenings, and festival programming to a regular film schedule. The crying room makes it accessible for families with toddlers. Children aged 6 and up tend to get the most from the venue's variety.
