On each occasion we have attended the centre we have had a great time.
The cinema inside reminds me of the original cinemas such as Picadilly in North Adelaide, although I think the chairs are more comfortable than that. There are regular shows and movie events here.
The Beanie Festival was another occasion and we attended over 3 days, first for the charity event then the main sale which totally surprised me with its magnitude and support for this cause.
