Empire Cinema

Bonaire


Maybe you don't normally go to the movies when you're on vacation. But consider making an exception for this island venue, where the seating is plastic lawn chairs and the ceiling is the sky. The technology is up to snuff, with a good sound system and occasional 3D films. Plus, the concession stand sells Thai food.

Located about 1.5km north of the town center.
