Reviews of Ottawa Family Cinema (Movie Theater)

David Woods

Great movies for kids.

Christian Malbeuf

I volunteer as a projectionist there and love the experience.

Sara Kearley

It isn't top notch service however it is run by volunteers. The movies are second run and they have a decent selection at the concession stand. If you are okay with children making noise while watching a movie, this place is good for you just keep in mind it is different than a regular movie theater.

Diane Bombardier

Amazingly well run organization. Kids get a great experience. Movies look great. Accessible to all. Plus it's a non-profit! Community families with lower income get to have opportunities to go to the movies too!

Staff are very nice. Most are volunteers. The one woman at the refreshment stand stares at people weirdly, but she was the only off person. It wasn't a great place to bring my kids, as there is only a really small amount of leg room. It is impossible for my older kids to be comfortable, and the small ones couldn't get around without irritating people. We left 10 minutes into the movie. Only time we have ever done that.

This is an amazing place totally created for kids, complete with door prizes. The staff -all volunteers-are amazing. The high school is done right up like a movie theatre complete with commercial popcorn machines at the snack counter.

That was great sinema for children????

Nancy Bradley

Great movies at great prices! Lots of parking and the staff are helpful and good natured. Pleasant experience!

Miranda Gray

I love that this volunteer run cinema offers cheaper not quite first run movies. They are a safe place to let tweens go to the movies (either alone or just not sitting with parents). They also welcome people with cognitive issues. It isn't the quietest place to watch a movie or the most comfortable (it's a high school auditorium). But it is affordable for families (including snacks). Members get even cheaper advance tickets and several free movies a year. Most Saturdays there is also a cartoon.

Mary Jane

Always Fun

Werbeson Faustino

Great place to watch movies with entire family

Vidamour (Kinger)

Great place to take in family friendly films at an affordable price.

Charles

Geared towards kids, but they delay 40 minutes after the scheduled time before the move starts. Also, we were given free passes, but then told that they still have costs and that a donation was strongly encouraged. Not good tact at all.

TheLotusrising

Great family fun for a good cause. Movie quality rivals theatre's without huge theatre cost

Dylan Moleman

Great place for friends, family, or to meet new people. Hands down enjoyed the experience after walking through the doors. The staff was friendly, concession stand was great, and prices were low to make an enjoyable experience for anyone!

James nicholson

We saw black panther. It was amazing experience for our family. Good cause, great evening.

Georges Kanaan

I encourage all people to go this cinema. Nice and friendly people. I enjoyed the show and got a delicious bag of popcorn

Ghyslain Laramée

Simply the best charity cinema.

Wouldn't recommend for a birthday party as our experience wasn't good but would recommend for just a casual outting to see a movie but be aware the seats are horribly painful, you may want to bring a small blanket or something to sit on the chairs. You must be ok with children being loud and possibly running around during the movie since it's a family "cinema" there is usually many kids and they don't really monitor them. The food was good and most of the people we're nice. (especially nice was the guy giving out the door prize).

Oasis Gege

Amazing quality not too expensive

Oluwakayode Esan

Nice and conducive for the family

Alan Moore

Hidden gem! Family movies on Saturday and more adult themed on every other Friday. Admission prices can't be beat and snack bar very inexpensive!

natalie york

Love this place. Reasonable and easy on the pocket.

Bubbling Books

This is an organization that I have supported for over 35 years. I am the Birthday coordinator here. The group of volunteers of various ages, is truly a family. Our snack bar has probably the lowest prices in Ontario. We show movies between Sept and May on the weekends. This Cinema is run by volunteers and is a fantastic and fun place to bring your family

Jen Smith

Fantastic place, wonderful volunteers. Great spot for reasonably priced Friday night (older kids) or Saturday afternoon (family) movies

Cara Thornhill

Good value for a family outing without breaking the bank.

Patrice Richer

Great place to catch a good movie and popcorn cheap. Great for the whole family.

Ania Z

Loved the cinema. Definitely come back.

Adil Abdulla

Tried this out for the first time - facilities, food, and staff are all fine. Only thing that disappointed me was that the "2:00" show didn't start until 2:45 by the time a cartoon and raffle and preshow intermission etc had taken place. Guess it was good for the kids...

melinah righetto

A little bit to loud. The staff should monitor the crowd more. Children running around during the movie.

Jean Gauvreau

Great staff and great family entertainment. Had a wonderful day out with family, definitely will come back.

Lavinia Rusu

The staff very friendly
