During movie 2, a few people left which allowed me to move my car up a few rows, which I did. The movie starts shortly after we return from the concession area with our snacks. Good food and reasonably priced for a drive-in, in my opinion.
Also if you're breaking a rule, don't call security to enforce another rule that may be bothering your experience. Do as I did. Adapt.
I love coming here! Its an hour and a half drive for me but so worth it. Its very nostalgic. Good food and fair prices. Rest rooms are clean. My son loves the playground. Definitely recommend for a fun night out.
Been here a few times and had great experiences each time. Place is very family oriented. The dining area is very clean has a great staff to go along. Food prices are average to any fast food place, you also have the option to bring along food and beverages with you in your vehicle, as always rules do apply. Over all its a great place to come with the family and have a great time. Open everyday rain or shine :)
About 10 minutes after he left I made the long trek back to the concessions area to speak with a manager about this experience. On my way there I could here the poor synchronization of the radios that people were using outside of their cars. Another reason to keep your windows up.
I visit this place to get away from life, not to have to deal with the pettiness of people and cops with superiority complexes.
I hope the theater owners realize that in the original drive-in theaters, there were speakers provided outsides each car that one could choose to use if they wanted. This would prevent the delayed audio that I and others have experienced from the cars around us and also the issue of having your car battery die. I like the idea that you are willing to jump start cars in the event that you do have a stalled car though.
On the subject of running engines, there were 2 cars in front of us at this movie that needed a jump start due to running their cars without the engine on. I've seen this happen at multiple movies here.
As he left, I looked around at multiple cars that had their engines running and trunks lifted higher than the screen viewing area. The experience was already destroyed at this point.
Without him acknowledging who he was, I ask him if he was security. He answers, "You can't have your car running and patrons complained."
During movie 1, the people in front of us chose to keep the trunk of their SUV open for the entire movie. It bothered me a bit, but it wasn't anything to make a fuss about in my opinion. I was enjoying the atmosphere of this packed theatre. It's why I drive an hour away from home to support this family owned business.
I spoke with a young woman at the concessions area called Brianna who was very understanding about the situation. I explained to her that there was a light drizzle outside, and due to a hearing disability, of one of the patrons in my car, we usually leave the car on and enjoy the AC. We've been to this theater several times over the past year and had no complaints. Also my car automatically turns off if the engine isn't running which causes us to miss parts of the movie, so that's another reason why we never switch off.
And to my fellow movie-goers, don't be afraid to approach others if they're interrupting your experience. Respectfully ask them to stop whatever they're doing and I'm certain that they will work it out with you. I have been on both ends of these conversations before and that's why I'm surprised that cops were needed to patrol this place. Don't kill the experience for others.
This was until last weekend.
Big screen movies you get to see from the comfort of your own car. Can bring in your own food and drinks. Parking will determine your level of enjoyment due to big trucks and SUVs that can quickly block your view of the screen.
During the summer, the owners thought it would be a great idea to have cops patrol the grounds for rule breakers.
Advise the cops that you hire for this gig if you must have them, to treat your patrons with the respect that they deserve and have grown to expect from your establishment. They are not on the beat. They are in a family establishment.
I frequent this drive in at least every other week. I love the atmosphere and it's a completely different experience than a regular indoor theater.
The price is great for 2 movies. The playground is fun for my kids. The food is expensive. $6.00, well $5. and some change. But id dont mind because the price of the movie is the best value. Always clean, always friendly staff. Get here early for a good spot.
About 30 minutes into the movie I hear a loud banging on my window. I can't make out who it is since the only light available is coming from the screen. I roll my window down to an upset person in uniform who advises me in the roughest of tones that I need to shut my car off. I ask him if it was causing a problem and apologize immediately for any disturbance. I am still unsure who this person is. I assumed that he was the person in the car next to me enjoying the movie.
