We had a great time seeing a double feature here. Everyone kept their headlights off, and the snack bar had a lot of options. I got ribbon fries. Nice playground for kids, too, before the movie starts.

We always have so much fun taking the kids 😁 and the playground is so old school amazing 😍 so glad we live close enough to enjoy the drive-in and let our kids experience what we used to when we were young 🎥 …

Highly recommended for an unforgettable night out!! I had never been to a drive-in movie before, and it surpassed all my expectations! From start to finish, the evening felt like a scene from a movie itself. Upon arrival, the staff's warm smiles made us feel right at home. Their impeccable organization made the entire process effortless and enjoyable. Now, let's talk about the refreshments! The refreshments area was set up in a self-serve style, making it really easy to grab what you wanted and then check out. The concession stand offered an array of delectable treats at incredibly affordable prices. From the mouthwatering popcorn that filled the air with its aroma to the delightful surprises like pizza, corn dogs, hot dogs, funnel cakes, fried Oreos, and more, they truly knew how to make the movie night special. Watching "Barbie" from the comfort of our vehicle was simply awesome. We cozied up with blankets and adjusted the temperature to our liking, immersing ourselves in Barbie's colorful world on the large screen. A highlight for families was the on-site playground, which added an extra touch of fun for the little ones. It was perfect for some pre-movie playtime or during intermission, creating cherished memories for all. In conclusion, I left the theater with a heart filled with joy and unforgettable memories. Five stars without a doubt - I'm already looking forward to my next magical movie adventure!

Ok. For all of the folks out there, that pay 50$ admission for the nostalgia, and another 120$ to sleep in a vw bus at the movies, you will appreciate this drive in! It is clean, cheap, average or above snack bar.....just a great place to go to on a summer night.

Absolutely love the drive-in! Wish they would update to a LED screen or find a way to make it brighter. But either way, I'm still going.

Love this place! Something great to do during the pandemic! Things to note: 1. when they say the movie starts at dusk, they mean it so it's best not to show up when they open unless you plan on bringing a frisbee or some other entertainment while you wait. 2. Bring a radio so you don't have to deal with your car lights if you want to leave the car running... or deal with the radio turning off every 15 minutes because it's not running.

This place is awesome. Great for the whole family and they have an awesome old school style play ground with merry-go rounds and see-saws. Really good concession stand and you get two movies for less than half the price of regular theaters.

My reason for going this last time was not for the movies (which I've done a few times and thoroughly enjoyed (separate review) but for the Saturday swap meet. The drive-in provides a nice venue for selling the stuff you don't need/want or for finding things you need/want for a good price. I went with a friend to try to sell some things. They charge $10/space (the space between two of the old speaker poles) so my friend and I shared one space which worked well. While we didn't sell a lot of items this go-round, we made enough to cover for the space plus a little more and very much enjoyed talking to all of the people there. The person that runs the meet (Mr. Lingerfelt) is nice and easy to get along with. He provides coffee to the vendors and plays retro music over a portable PA for everyone to enjoy. If you're looking to sell some things, it's worth a shot to take your stuff there.
