Accessibility
The Coral Gables Art Cinema is committed to making its programs accessible to everyone.
Accessible seats have a decal with the ADA logo on them. These seats are intended for accessible users (in wheelchair, scooters, walkers, etc.) The seat beside an ADA seat can be used by the disabled user or their Patient Care Assistant, depending on whether the user wants to transfer from their wheelchair to a theater seat.
If no accessible users are present or require the use of an accessible seat, the Cinema will release the seats to non-accessible users at the scheduled start time of the film. This is when the trailers have started.
If the customer does not need the specific features of the accessible seat, the Cinema may require the ticket holder to move to a different, non-accessible seating location, only if this is prior to the scheduled start time of a film.
Whether or not you need extra assistance, it’s always best to arrive early (30 minutes before showtime), as that is when doors open to the public.
Parking
Accessible parking is available on every floor of parking garage #2 located next door to the cinema. The accessible parking spots are those closest to the elevators. Parking is free for ADA decal owners.

Hearing Assist Devices
Assistive listening headphones are available for all films. The devices are available at the concession stand free of charge. Your driver’s license/I.D. will be held as security.
Closed Caption Devices
Closed caption devices with a small easy-to-read LED screen that fits in a seat’s cup holder are available for certain films. Please note that not all films support closed captioning. Those that do include the closed caption icon on their webpage. Your driver’s license/I.D. will be held as security.
Open Captions
The Gables Cinema periodically screens certain films with open captions. An open captioned notice will be conspicuously displayed on films’ landing pages. Please consult film pages or contact us to find out if a specific film will feature open captions.
Elevator
The elevator next to the auditorium door provides access to the restrooms, business offices, and cinema gallery.
Restrooms
Restrooms are located on the second floor of the cinema and are only accessible via the elevator next to the auditorium door. The women’s and men’s restrooms each contain one accessible stall.
Service Animals (Guide, hearing, and other assistance)
Service animals are welcome at the Coral Gables Art Cinema. They must be always leashed.
We love pets, but only service animals are allowed.
Emotional support animals are not service animals per the ADA. Dogs, miniature horses, or other animals that provide only emotional support, comfort, or companionship are not considered service animals.
