10 birthday offers in Entertainment.
Village Cinemas' free Vrewards loyalty program gives members a free small popcorn on their birthday. Join with your birthday on file, and the reward is valid for 1 month so there's time to redeem it in cinema.
HOYTS Rewards members get a free birthday reward each year — your choice of a small popcorn or a small post-mix drink. It's added automatically on your birthday if your date of birth is on file, and the free base membership qualifies (you don't need the paid VIP tier). Redeem it in person within 30 days.
Zone Bowling members get two free games of bowling around their birthday. You need to have been a member for at least three months to qualify.
Timezone's birthday bonus is a game-credit voucher — $10 for Gold members or $15 for Platinum — loaded to your Fun Account and redeemable in-venue within 30 days. It isn't a no-strings freebie: the credit is only awarded at the Gold or Platinum tier, and Gold takes roughly $250 of accumulated Powercard load to reach. Register your Powercard at least 30 days before your birthday to qualify.
Australia Zoo Birthday Club members aged 3-14 receive free entry around their birthday.
$1 movie ticket on your birthday for eligible Club Dendy members.

Book the $1 ticket online ahead of your visit and bring photo ID on the day. Friends and family who come along get 10% off their own tickets when booked online in advance.
