Absolute genius concept and flawless execution. The sound system for movies is really world-class! And they bring a little extra zing for the outdoor movie nights! All designed to accommodate social-distancing laws and best practice.

๐Ÿ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 7+ during Hong Kong's cooler dry season months. The outdoor format, premium sound, and food options create a memorable event-style outing. Avoid booking during typhoon season or when rain is forecast โ€” screenings continue regardless of conditions and the wet-weather experience can be uncomfortable.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กBook during November to February for the most reliable dry-weather experience
โฐArrive early to choose pod or preferred seating positions before crowds settle
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธOrder food from Basehall vendors before the screening starts to avoid missing scenes

โ€œAwesome concept and weโ€™re glad we finally got to experience The Grounds - was perfect for a date night! An open air cinema is great during the cooler weather in the city, but to be honest, the prices for the seating and pods were quite expensive, and thatโ€™s before the food and drinks if you buy at the venue as youโ€™re not allowed to bring your own. While itโ€™s cool thereโ€™s Messina for dessert on site, popcorn, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and plenty more food options from Basehall, these are also really pricey. We ordered from Meen Noodles in Basehall and while it was delicious, the delivery was quite slow. Staff on site however were very friendly and accommodating, made sure everyone was comfortable, but the movie started later than we expected. That being said, itโ€™s still a great experienceโ€ฆ but prepare to pay a little more than usual.โ€

โ€œThe venue is fantastic & the views are incredible. My one issue is the enormous amount of waste that came with our food orders from basehall. Each food item we ordered came at a separate time and in SEPARATE bags even though the food came from the exact same place/restaurant. The order should have come in 2 bag max! Really disappointed to see how much unnecessary waste basehall/the grounds is producing & I hope this is something they take into consideration going forward.โ€
