The best part about this "new" experience is that, contrary to years gone by where you watched the movie from within the confines of your car, now you can pull out your chairs and watch the movie under the stars. Fortunately, there were many movie goers who had set up big speakers and we were able to hear perfectly without having to use our car radio. I was greatly concern that my car battery was going to die if I did that. Now, you tune in from your car radio, but I'm still not sure how that works. Like another poster wrote, long gone are the days where you had a post and speakers. Tickets are $10 per person, which I found to be extremely reasonable. There are two screens in the lot, and depending what movies you want to watch you to one or the other. On weekends they show three movies, and on weekdays two. I took my youngest daughter, who is 21 and had never been to a drive-in, and she was just as excited as I was. As a teen I lived fairly close to this drive-in and I remember trips with a car load of teens hiding in the back, going in for free. I was blown away when I learned that this drive-in was still in existence as I was under the impression that there were no drive-ins operating. Even if its tilted you can still get blocked. So, if you go and you have an suv/truck, don't block other people and park in front of a small vehicle. Happened to us and has happened to others on numerous occasions. Its just that there are rude people who don't care about anyone else around them and block them with their trucks/suvs. Don't get me wrong, this place is great and I'm glad that there are still drive ins. The screen is sometimes dark but manageable and its only apparent when there is a dark scene in the movie. ![]() ![]() There are times when the walking attendant says something, which is nice, but at times they are nowhere to be seen. Its funny, no matter how many times we go there's always quite a few people that do it and not care about anyone else around them. The problem with that is their trunk door is sticking up blocking your screen. ![]() On top of that, they will lift up their trunk so they can sit in the back. Be aware though, there are some rude people who will park in front of you (mainly suvs) and face backwards. The parking lot is not flat, the parking spots are slightly tilted upwards so your car is aiming up at the screen. Now, you just pay for 1 ticket and its for 1 movie. It used to be that 1 ticket allows you to watch both movies but this changed a few years back. Its a great place to watch a drive in movie.
