Seniors' Movies

The golden age of cinema is back. So to speak.

On the first Tuesday of January, February, March, April, September, October, November, and December, seniors who are 55 years or better can make their way to Avalon Cinema Centre for an “in-theatre” blockbuster movie for just a $4 ticket.

Tickets can be purchased at Guest Services near the food court for one of the two matinee shows (11 am and 2 pm)*. The good news? Tickets are available 10 days prior to the show date and 50% of the proceeds are donated to a local Nanaimo charity. The not-so-good news? Quantities are limited.

*Times subject to change.

Seniors' Day

With age comes wisdom. And savings.

On the first Tuesday of every month, a variety of Woodgrove retailers offer Seniors' Day discounts for customers 55 years and better. Kind of makes you love birthdays again, doesn’t it? To find out which retailer is offering what, pick up The Seniors' Day Guide to Savings brochure at Guest Services.
