GRAND RE-OPENING May 1st 2026!
Frequently asked questions
What time do the movies start?
Because we are outside, we must wait until it is dark enough for the movie to be seen on the screen. This is why we say we start at dusk. Dusk is different every night because the sun sets at a different time every night. A good rule of thumb is to add 20-30 minutes to the time of sunset to figure our when we will start the 1st movie. Cloud cover effects this as well. The second movie starts about 10 minutes after the last credit rolls of the 1st movie. Because run times are different for each movie, it is impossible to have a definitive time for the 2nd movie.
How do tickets work and how much do they cost?
Tickets can be purchased online or at the gate. Online tickets guarantee entry. Pricing is:
$10 per person (12+)
$5 per person (5-11)
FREE (4 & under)
OR $30 per vehicle:
Tickets are valid only for the selected show and date and are non-refundable, but may be given to a friend.
When should I arrive and how does parking work?
Gates open at 6:00pm. Arrive early to get a spot and visit our concession stand. All parking is first-come, first-served. Everyone covered by one ticket must arrive together in the same vehicle. We do not allow walk-ins, drop-offs, or meet-ups inside the theater. You may come for just the 2nd movie. However, a spot is not guaranteed unless you purchase online (tickets are the same price for 1 or 2 movies).
What happens if it rains or storms?
Shows run rain or shine. In rare cases of severe weather, cancellations will be announced by 5:00 PM on the day of the show. Please check our website or announcements before arriving if weather conditions are uncertain.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, credit cards, and tap-to-pay at both the gate and concession stand. We have online tickets available too!
Are there any rules I should know?
Yes. The drive-in is a family-friendly, alcohol- and drug-free facility. Firearms are not allowed. Failure to comply may result in removal without refund.
Please turn off all vehicle lights during the movie (dome lights are okay) to ensure the best viewing experience for everyone.
Movies cannot be photgraphed or filmed and posted on social media, but we want to encourage patrons to post about their positive experience attending the movies.
Well behaved leashed animals are welcome!
How do you tune into sound?
Audio is played through 93.7 FM, so you’ll need access to an FM radio in your vehicle. Some newer cars may turn off after a duration, or their lights may stay on while the radio is running. If needed, radios are available to rent for $5 at the drive-in.
We also have speakers that will play during the showing, and you are allowed to bring your own radio!
How do you know which movie plays first?
The movies play in the order they are listed on the flyer, website, and marquee outside of The Drive-in.
Can I bring outside food or drinks?
No outside food or drinks are permitted. Like most drive-ins, we rely on our concession stand to support operations. We offer a full menu, online ordering and delivery. You can purchase food only (and not stay for the movie) by typing "gate" into the notes section at checkout. Someone will bring your order to you.
