Went and saw The Barbie movie and really enjoyed the experience. The theater is very well laid out and access to the theater is easy. The folks running it are so nice and accommodating. My mother has MS so going to a theater is difficult for her since she doesn’t like to sit in the very front row and her walker is too wide to go through the aisle so overall it’s not enjoyable. The drive in is easy because she can stay in her comfortable seat in the car and watch the movie with her little dog on her lap.
I've been to this theater dozens of times and overall it's pretty great. The two biggest things I have an issue with are the bathrooms and the new "preview" setup they have. I don't want to see an endless list of advertisements that aren't even remotely movie related. I'd rather pay an extra dollar to cover the revenue they get from these abominable advertisements.
Nice place to go see movies in a car! Can bring a portable radio to get the station! Not too expensive and nice staff with fresh made food in the concession stand! Bathroom(s) are a bit of a bummer but no big deal unless you plan on spending a lot of time in there, good picture for a drive-in as well, easy to see and plenty of space to park!
I went to the drive in with a group of three vehicles to watch Blue Beetle. We paid and drove down the extremely rutty path to park and a lady began running across the field to stop us.. she asked us for our tickets and then after proving we had just purchased tickets accused us of going 30 mph and said that people have been hit. She said “bye, you can leave” and argued with us. When I tried telling my group that I was being kicked out she began arguing with them and threatening to kick them out too. Absolutely rude people and honestly not worth it. I’ve spent money here before and never had any problem. For the filthy bathrooms, dining area and sketchy driving areas I’d rather spend my money elsewhere…
Fix show times on google! Drove 40 minutes to see a movie that online said it started at 11:20, when we arrived it was already over. Might try the drive-in again now knowing to check for correct times on your website. I wish I could’ve supported your business, but that was a big letdown! I hope it gets fixed.
Could not get 89.9fm in my new car. Guy from consession stand tried to help. Might need to consider wifi access or loose people .
A lady opened the doors to her car for our family to here the movie. Neither of us stayed for the second feature as too buggy and too many others smoking and bad for little lungs!
Sarah & Chris are some of the kindest and hardworking people you will meet! The food they prepare is absolutely delicious and their hospitality is un matched in today’s world! Awesome experience and will be returning soon ‼️
The grounds were kept and clean. Food selection and quality was on par with other drive ins I've been to. Two screens that each had two movies playing. Building looked a bit dilapidated, but the inside looked fine. Bathrooms were clean and the stalls were roomy. Staff was friendly.
