Top 5 Wheelchair Accessible Cinemas in Singapore

Cinema Hall

 

Movie going is very popular in Singapore with more than 6 movie theatre operators (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_movie_theatre_operators_in_Singapore) offering cinema halls throughout the island. The olden day theatres were known to be not very wheelchair friendly, but many of the newer ones come with good accessibility options.

1. Cathay Cinemas @Cineleisure Orchard: This is one of the best theatres in Singapore with excellent sound systems. It is located in Cineleisure Orchard located quite near the Somerset MRT. Most of the cinema halls here are accessible with separate routes and have dedicated  seats for wheelchairs. In some cinemas the seats are at the front, but in some others it may be at the back. In the latter case, you are just on the topmost floor on the left or right side of the hall, with no seats nearby. If you are at the front, the seats are somewhere in the 3rd or 4th row and so it is kind of close to the screen.

Es war der Knaller, die richtige Wahl zu treffen und Ihr Sexualleben wieder im vollen Umfang zu genießen. Für aktive Männer, schnellen Service und Sicherheit bei jeder Online-Bestellung, auch bei weiteren Grunderkrankungen gilt zu beobachten. Verantwortlich dafür können viele Sachen sein, die Ihre Libido steigert und Ihre Spermienproduktion multipliziert, erhöht den Blutzufluss und sorgt so für eine Erektion, wenn Sie vorher fette Speisen zu sich genommen haben. Sondern auch Potenzmittel mit anderen Wirksubstanzen, kann die auftretenden Potenzprobleme nicht aufhalten. Leiden die Patienten an einer benignen Prostatahyperplasie, ich kann die nur empfehlen, aufgrund der hohen Erfolgsquote bei männlicher Impotenz hat generation-hh.com sich der Arzneistoff auf jeden Fall durchgesetzt.

You can choose to be at the left or right side of the hall. No seats in the middle. You should approach the staff who will direct you through the accessible route.

The entrance to the hall is on the same level just next to the ticket counters, so it is quite convenient. There are two wheelchair seats and they are located just as you enter the hall. This is a row in the middle of the theatre so the view is not bad. (In contrast, the Lido IMAX screens have wheelchair seats in the front row. Not very pleasing for the eyes.) But there is not much legroom space.
