One of the funnest places in town!

June 28, 2023

YOU CANT MISS IT. If you’re in town, check it out, because it’s just so much fun, with better snacks than the movie theater (plus you can bring your own). The old timey commercials and bits before the show are so cute; an added bonus for sure. Cannot recommend more!

Love going

May 17, 2023

Been going here since I was a child. First with my family then with friends and on dates. Firstly, I don’t think the displayed price online is the real price. Always bring cash because they don’t expect card or you will have to go to the atm there and pay an atm fee just because you were short 4 dollars. Arrive 10 or 15 minutes before the movie starts to ensure a good spot. I gave customer service a 3 because I’ve had a teenage girl laugh at me for being a few dollars short and laugh at me again when I came back with money from the atm :/. What’s really nice is they have a jumper box at the site in case people forget to start their car occasionally. The bathroom aren’t very clean and stalls are often out of service. I have always bought food before going to eat there. It’s fun to bring a pizza or in in out ect.

Seriously I love drive ins

Great place for a drive in not many people so you have your own room . Make sure your radio works as you'll have to connect to radio station to hear . Food stand would earn more money if they had more choices over all what every movie theater has so it is perfect. Get a good spot arrive 7.30 pm to get tickets for 830 pm starting 1st show there is 1 to 3 shows each showing night . Seriously worth every dallor spent here . Will be coming again everyone here helpful and knowledgeable with what shows next and the next coming weeks and times .

Worst place ever!!!!

May 28, 2021

To start off, paid the $30.00 in cash, cause they don't take cards, was NOT given a receipt. We were the 3rd car in, 2 adults a 14 year old and a four-year-old. The movie started at 8:30 and we realize it wasn't the one we thought, got the wrong date. Not a movie for children. When my daughter walked to the gate and explained to the woman that took the money she was told that we needed a receipt. She came back to the car and we looked for said receipt in the change that was given to her. We didn't have one cause we were not given one! Drove back out to talk to the lady again where she insisted she gave us one, and because we didn't have it she could not refund. Less than ten minutes of the movie starting, driving out from inside the property and she didn't think we paid?? If I could give navigate stars I would. The screen is horrible, the concession stand is disgusting, so filled with smoke you can't breathe. Sad to see a once fun evening out with the family run into the ground so badly. I will not be going back.
