In a town with so little to do that's totally free, this is a refreshing change that makes Miami a little more livable and a lot more like a "real city" as I sometimes put it.
Not long ago I was in San Francisco visiting a friend, she told me about the movie nights they do out in nearby Delores Park, and it reminded me of how little we have back home... And then this happens and my hope that Miami will one day suck a little less comes one step closer. Thank you.
what a great thing to have in our beautiful, magical city! ive known about it for a while but it wasnt until recently that i got to check it out. lady b whom i had not seen in a while suggested the idea to go watch young frankenstein on halloween night, take some to-go sushi from moshi moshi with us and of course a couple of bottles of sake too. doesnt that sound like a good plan? plus, we were blessed with gorgeous weather that evening so what could go wrong? absolutely nothing!
even though we got there a bit after the movie started (cause we were really looking for good sake at every liquor store in south beach) we were still able to find a cozy spot to make our own. the screen is large and the sound is crisp. it is safe to say that everyone who was at the soundscape had a good view. i will for sure go back as they have a few classics lined up, for example: indiana jones, edward scissorhands, the goonies, etc.
admission is completely free. youre encouraged to bring blankets, pillows, something to munch on and your beverage of choice. this is a great date destination and dont worry much about restrooms as theres a few portables very near by and they were very well kept and clean.
we in miami beach are blessed. we truly are and the soundscape wallcast is certainly an extra perquisite that we must not take for granted.
Such a wonderful experience! I always say that there is nothing like seeing some of your favorite movies on a big screen, and when you watch the movies at SoundScape you really do get to see them on a big screen. The movies are projected on the New World Symphony building with surround sound. I was able to catch a screening of Vertigo starring James Stewart and Kim Novack and thought the experience was amazing. Being able to sit outside on a blank with your friends as you share some wine and snacks was fantastic. My only advice is to get there early so you can get a good seat.
Review Source:Free Movies!!!!!
This place is so Kewl. Located in South Beach on Washington Ave.
I went there last night to watch Spaceballs! Great Movie by the way! If you come early you can pick your spot to watch the movie. Just bring a blanket or chairs to sit down on. You can bring food and drinks if you like . Great for families, groups, and kids. Plenty of security and police walking around to discourage panhandling. You can hear the movie perfectly. Great place to come and relax and watch a Free Movie!
WallCast was a great surprise
I was told about movies being shown on the outside wall of the New World Symphony building but thought it wouldn't be that good. Â I thought the picture would be bad and I thought it would be hard to hear.
Turns out the the picture is great. Â The sound is plenty loud. Â I think the speakers were hidden inside all the fake metal trees and columns. Â I didn't even notice the noise from the traffic or the light from the street lights. Â
I arrived an hour early and brought a couple of folding chairs. The area really starts to get very busy 30 minutes before the film starts. Â A lot of people brought blankets and enjoyed a picnic during the movie. There was even a male couple that had a whole wine cheese and fruit spread out on a wooden cutting board (it was so cute). Next time I'm bringing my own picnic too.
Wish I lived closer because I know where I would be every Wednesday nights.
There is a reason why the Wallcast at the Miami Beach Soundscape has a 5-star average. Â It's one of the absolute best things to do in Miami. Â It is truly a landmark for our city!
There are few things that compare with bringing a picnic and setting up some chairs or a blanket on the grass and watching a beautifully produced concert on the wall of the New World Symphony.
I highly recommend going to Joe's Take Away and picking up some goodies, then getting over to the park very early, as it gets very crowded, especially on a beautiful winter night. Â
Make sure you bring a bottle of wine (or your drink of choice). Â Pop that cork and enjoy a stellar evening of great drinks, food, company and music!
I accidentally stumbled into the middle of a screening last weekend and I have to give Miami major props for pulling this off. Â Quite possibly the most quaint, romantic, laid-back, cultural thing to do on any night of the week. Â No matter what you're into, there are few things more charming than sitting outside and enjoying a little culture or movies. Â To be honest, I wish I could give this six stars.
Review Source:How wonderful! Free movies on an IMAX sized screen in a park full of fresh air. Except it's not. Despite pre-show warnings that ask patrons not to smoke, lots of people do it anyways and it really pisses me off. We got stuck between a cigarette and a cigar. Seriously?! And lots of people talk loudly throughout the whole movie. (Both of these things are huge pet peeves for me.) Oh, and don't be surprised to see a few panhandlers making their rounds before and during the movie, begging everyone for money.
Anyways, my boyfriend and I got there about 40 minutes early and had our pick of the best seats in the park. We were treated to Ray, with great sound and an even better picture (they use four projectors and a blu-ray player).
Besides some inconsiderate people, this is a fun change of pace (as long as its not raining). Bring a blanket, a picnic, some friends and enjoy the show!
I was really impressed by the park and happy we have this in our community.
This was the night they played Beetlejuice..me and my family plopped ourselves on a blanket and enjoyed watching the movie. Someday I will come on a Saturday for a concert being that you can hear it at the park too (thanks Richard K.).
Oh and I parked in the lot  caddycorner to the Lowes for only 3 bucks..can't beat that.
Amazing public space. If you live in the neighborhood and haven't soaked up this
beautiful new city park you're sure missing out. It's sprinkled with shady palm trees, benches and cool zig zagged sidewalks. It's maintenance is impeccable. The grass is softer than a baby's blankie and the New World Center, whelp, it's extravagant. The building itself is gorgeous, modern, and the neon lights look  spectacular at night!
Whoever says MB lacks friendly neighborhood spots hasn't been here for movie night Wednesdays or seen a free live showing of New World Symphony projected for all to enjoy. Â I love taking picnics here, or laying on the manicured grass catching up on Sunday phone calls. I haven't yet been inside the building, but hoping to go to a performance soon. I also spy what looks like an AMAZING rooftop area...anybody need a date to an event up there?? :-)
For my 400th review...... drum roll please....... New World Symphony's Wallcast at Miami Beach Soundscape Park.
I brought my girlfriend to watch the free wallcast screening of Moulin Rouge and yes, as a real man, I can admit I thoroughly enjoy this movie. It's important to add I have a sensitive side. Honestly, it makes me all bubbly inside.
The experience is supreme and legen..... wait for it..... dary. Picture is crisp. Sound is very good considering it is outside and is competing with city noises. I did not even notice any city noise. The crowd had good participation, but at the same time was very respectful. And the weather was flawlessly cooperating with my almost picture perfect date planning.
Why was it nearly perfect and not just perfect? Well, it was my own fault. Here are a few tips for you to make it perfect.
1. Get there early.
It gets packed and if  you come late and end up far back or off to the side, some of the beautiful architecture in the Soundscape Park may get in your way.
2. Bring a blanket and pillows.
Yes, I brought a blanket, but a pillow would have made things more comfy lying down. On the side note, they have very nice grass if you do forget to remember this tip.
3. It is BYOB. Bring a botlle of wine and snacks. It is dinner and a movie time.
I failed on all accounts on this one. I forgot the wine on the counter and food was not even a thought.
4. Use the bathroom before the movie experience.
My girlfriend could not get in the New World Symphony building and had to use the restroom at Five Napkins. There was seriously more people in there waiting for te bathoom then eating here.
5. Wednesday night is the movie screening at Soundscape. Saturday night is the screening of the symphony on the Wallcast. Both are free.
Pick accordingly for your date. Both are wonderful.
If you follow these tips, it will lead to a perfectly beautiful night and what come what may next is going to be behind closed doors.
Awesome. Miami really needed something like this and watching the New World Symphony's Wallcasts on the green gives Miamians a taste of Chicago's Millennium Park (especially the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, designed by Frank Gehry). The sound system was excellent and the performance from the Symphony was outstanding. Truly worth the experience!
Review Source:Gorgeous landscape architecture. Â Even if there is no show happening when you're there, visit and walk through the park. Â It feels and looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland or some other reference containing surreal scenery and experiences. Â People just hang out there during the day and early evening, reading, talking, computing, relaxing. Â It's just as fun to watch other people enjoy the space, too!
Review Source:This recently completed park is an important "addition" to the Frank Gehry designed New World Symphony (New World Center) to the West...
The park was originally planned to be also designed by Gehry, but after an alleged $2 million design consultant fee, the City decided  to go with Dutch Landscape Architecture firm West 8 (thank you commission).
I haven't been to the new Symphony building, but given the SoundScape park I may not need to. Â SoundScape itself is a performance heaven. Â During the opening (while chilling on the grass) we listened to the New World Symphony on a ridiculous exterior sound system & watched a video on the 8,000 sq.ft. east wall of the NWC. Â I think their plan is to use the projector to showcase design and local art work on days when the symphony is not playing.
Strolling the park and it's labyrinth of zig-zag walkways and raised platform edges to sit on, you're bound to hit the curved Sculptural Clouds. Â To me they look like Golden Chanterelle's, but it might be b/c I grew up in Eastern Europe & our forests were filled with these amazing little Fungi.
So next time you're on Lincoln Road or in search of a new spot to visit, make that turn and hit this park. Â You may just get a free show of New World Symphony broadcasting to SoundScape.
