Sky Lite 3D Cinema
Movie theater
🫤 Worth the price for a 2D movie but for 3D stuff. I think it's not a good choice.
Cons :
- Worst 3D ever seen
Screen is dark. In 3D, With the polarized glasses they give it's not just dark only the bright daylight scenes are barely visible
It's ignorable for a 2D movie, But for 3D it's a mess ther...

👍👍 Interesting experience. You get to see many snakes, and you can also touch them and have them crawl over you if you are not afraid (but it is safe). And the owner is friendly. We recommend visiting.

👍 Probably the most versatile general store in Matara town. Of course given that Matara is a tourist attraction site, the shops are well stocked with shorts, skinnies and stuff. But you also get your general purchases and household items as well. Be ready to spend at least at hour though. For a first...
