If I could give 4 and a half stars I would as this was a very fun experience overall for our family. The owner working the booth was very friendly and explained how everything worked which was nice since it was our 1st time. There was another worker directing traffic to marked parking spaces so there was plenty of space between vehicles. The concession stand and bathroom were centrally located under the screens and had standard food options you would expect at a drive in and were reasonably clean. The only knock I would have would be that when viewing one of the screens from the side, you can see the other screen playing too and when they're not sync'd up it can be a little distracting. It really wasn't bad though. There were also a few smokers that would smoke on their way out to the designated smoking area which was mildly annoying, but is not necessarily the drive-in's fault. Maybe a little more communication about where smoking is allowed would be helpful. All in all this place makes for a fun family night outside watching a good movie though!
My last comment is a suggestion - I hope you'd consider selling glow bracelets and necklaces at the concession for kids. We brought our own, as did a few other families and not only did the kids find it fun, I felt it added a little safety for the kids. They were more visible to the cars who showed up after dark and left after the first show. Even with the ground guides helping people park without lights, you can never be too cautious in helping keep families safe and visible to cars leaving early and arriving late. Thank you for such a great time, my family will definitely be back soon!
Definitely worth going for the double feature. Also, they have great deals on food and drinks!
It was awesome! My family and I had a blast. The people were so nice and so was the movie experience.
If you've never been to a drive in theater before, there's a couple of things you need to know ahead of time: 1- this is a popular spot in the summer, especially on weekends. It's no surprise people are drawn here. You can buy tickets online ahead of time to guarantee a place there, but keep in mind parking at drive ins is always done on a first come basis. It's just how drive ins work, and the casual and easy going layout is part of the fun. If you want to be closer to the screen, come early. If you get there later, no worries! You'll always have a good view of the screen no matter where you park, you'll just be further back. We were in the last row and had a great time and a great view. And if you're still unhappy about where you park, being your lawn chairs, a portable radio, and blankets. There's plenty of seating near the screen in a grassy area. Don't have a portable radio? No worries either, They'll rent you one at the concession stand for a few bucks. 2- the consession has it all. Large popcorn and pop are free refills currently, lots of candy, ice cream, pizza and the usual food items. Prices are way better than the other local indoor theaters. The line moves fast and they accept cards. 3- bug spray is helpful to have but they sell it at the concession if you forget to bring it. 4- come ready to relax, kick your feet up, and enjoy the show. You can tell they want your business, and take great care of their customers. There are lots of attendants assisting parking, and if you have questions or need assistance you won't have trouble finding someone to ask. They have jumper cables if your car battery happens to give out, so don't worry about getting stranded.
Love this place! Never too crowded because of the two screens. You get two movies for the price of one movie that you would see in an indoor movie theatre. The food is tasty and the employees are nice! Great environment! Will always come back every summer!
A wonderful and fun family event! We have had a chance to visit drive in theaters all over the US and have this to be one of the best overall. Very helpful and friendly employees, clean facilities, good quality screens, quiet, and in a beautiful area. The view of the stars alone during the movie makes the drive in a true gem. Don't pass up an opportunity to take your family and friends here.
