While it is really rare to come across one but you may have seen the below box on BookMyShow mentioning ‘Kiddles’ while booking tickets.
Ever wondered what it exactly is? Let us explain to you its meaning, features, seating capacity and ticket cost. Here we go.
What is Kiddles?
As you may have guessed by now to an extent, Kiddles is a theatre designed specifically for the kids. Kiddles will be present only in INOX theatres, although not in all of them. The design of the movie hall has been done keeping kids in mind. Also, not all movies are played here. Only a select few which are suitable for kids are played in a Kiddles theatre.
What are its features?
As soon as you enter the Kiddles section of an INOX, an adult also is most likely to go back to his/her childhood days. The accompanying kids will be simply thrilled. The theatre seats are colourful and so are the walls. They also have a play area for kids where they can play with other toys and games both before and after the movie. Kids get about 30 mins or so before and after the movie to indulge in the play zone. Hence, whatever the duration of the movie, add another hour to it. The food menu inside kiddles is created specifically for children – chocolate, popcorn, candies, etc.
At INOX Kiddles, it is also possible to book an entire theatre or a slot for a birthday party. See the below video to understand how a birthday party at Kiddles can be:

Kiddles theatre usually has between 40 and 50 seats across 6 to 7 rows. There is no bifurcation into multiple sections.
Yes, the cinema hall is smaller in size as compared to other traditional ones.

What is the difference between INOX Kiddles and PVR Playhouse?
