 *Please note that the Science Centre will reopen for this evening event at 5:15pm. The movie will start at 5:45pm. Elf runs for 1 hour and 37 minutes. The film is shown in The Planetarium on a curved screen therefore some seats may have obscured viewing angles. All children attending must be accompanied by an adult.

Accessibility information for Starlight Cinema

The Planetarium is accessible so everyone can have a special experience here. It's not super dark and you can move around, go out and come back in if you like. If you have a wheelchair, we have spaces for you to sit with seats for your family and friends. The stairs have lights to make them easy to see.

About the movie

Buddy (Will Ferrell) was accidentally transported to the North Pole as a toddler and raised to adulthood among Santa's elves. Unable to shake the feeling that he doesn't fit in, the adult Buddy travels to New York, in full elf uniform, in search of his real father. As it happens, this is Walter Hobbs (James Caan), a cynical businessman. After a DNA test proves this, Walter reluctantly attempts to start a relationship with the childlike Buddy with increasingly chaotic results.

This event is a fundraising event for Wonderseekers.
