VJunior, Village Cinemas Sunshine: Experience Movie Magic With Kids

The Vjunior kid’s cinema experience is so popular with Melbourne families that it’s spread to Village Cinemas Sunshine in addition to existing Vjunior cinemas at Westfield Southland, Fountain Gate, Knox and Plenty Valley.

From comfortable seating to interactive play areas, Vjunior Village Cinemas Sunshine promises to make every movie visit an unforgettable one. 

Located in the heart of Sunshine, the Vjunior at Village Cinemas Sunshine is a state-of-the-art cinema that brings you an unparalleled cinematic adventure designed specifically for families and young movie enthusiasts. 

It’s a great place to introduce little kids to big-screen cinema, as well as providing older kids with a movie-going experience with a difference.

Vjunior Play Areas

One of the highlights of Vjunior Village Cinemas Sunshine is its interactive play areas.

Thirty minutes before each Vjunior screening, the cinema is open for interactive play, with Hot Wheels tracks and cars, Mega Bloks and colouring-in.

Selected screenings also include a 10-minute break which is helpful for kids that may need a toilet trip break or to quickly expend any excess energy.  There are toilets inside Village Cinemas and Sunshine Marketplace.

Play time is also available after your session if there is another movie screening afterwards.

The highlight is definitely the big slide!  Kids can climb up and slide down prior to the movie starting and then the supervising Village staff member will close down the slide. Note my kids at 6 and 8yo are almost too big for the slide so they prefer to play with more Mega Bloks instead.

VJUNIOR Seating

Say goodbye to uncomfortable movie seats! At Vjunior Village Cinemas Sunshine, they understand the importance of comfort during a movie-watching experience.

The cinema boasts plush, spacious seats that provide ample legroom, making the entire movie session cosy and enjoyable for the whole family.

There are three different types of allocated seating inside Vjunior; standard, beanbag and recliner lounges. We are ok with the standard seating (which is still very comfortable) so I don’t think there’s any need to book beanbags or recliners.
