Great place to go with family or a date, saw a few people by themselves. Love the fact the movies are broadcast through the car radio. Some sat in front of their vehicles with a large radio. Snack bar offered a variety of items. I noticed the grounds were kept clean
This is so much fun during nice weather. I always bring a camping chair or sit in back of a pick up truck. Sneak some beer or wine & it's a perfect night.
While I love the drive in, being policed like a child is not the best. They interrupted the second movie to try to get is to buy the remaining snacks. This was LITERALLY 5 minutes after the intermission cartoon went on for ten minutes reminding us to go to get concessions. The quality of the movies is great, pricing is on point, but the kids running around in golf carts are rude in their requests even when the customers are nice and following the rules.
Buy tickets in advance. Prices are reasonable but it is cheaper with a car full price. Do not forget your radio. Kid friendly. Bathrooms are clean. Get there early for where you want to park but be prepared for them to move you.
The screen was so dim watching the little mermaid you could barley see half the movie scenes. Sucked i was excited to see it. And i was very close to screen. Ive been here 2 times within 3 month and food is still horrible. Preztel hard, pizza nasty.
The at the gate isn't very well trained on the computer system. The staff at concessions was fast efficent. Bathrooms were clean. Food was good. It was a good visit
We love this little drive-in. I can't wait for it to be open during the week, to avoid the movie goers who are inconsiderate when they don't follow the parking and light guidelines. The golf cart "sheriff" had his hands full.
Bigger cars to the back, smaller cars to the front. Simple, yet hard for some. Not the fault of the drive-in.
On a business note: make announcements about last call during music only scenes, and not dialogue scenes - please.
The concessions are good, and can be reduced in price, just a tad.
We always have a great time, especially when we go to the double feature. Prices are reasonable & can BYO snacks or order concessions. Picked up pizza from Casey's beforehand. Get there earlier than you think you should to get a great viewing experience. No bad ones, just closer middle spots fill up fast. All staff is great.
