We said we were saving money this year right? Well @starlightdrivein is the perfect, cheap date night for you & your boo. Adult tickets are only $10 each. They do have a full service snack bar, but we opted to stop & get our own. Donât forget to stop at the liquor store! Premixed drinks like @ontherocks are perfect for outings like this. No mixing & the drinks are STRONG! We saw Creed, any other movies out right now that you guys recommend?

If you're looking for a state-of-the-art movie experience, this isn't it. Pretty bare bones movie theater, but 5 stars for being over 70 years old and still kicking it. Wonderful vintage vibe that you just cannot find in the cavernous more high-tech theaters. Great value for the price ($10 per adult, $1 per kid for a DOUBLE feature), and you don't have to worry about being annoyed by things like people messing with their cell phones or kicking your chair. This is our favorite way to watch movies with our little (antsy) kids. There are four screens here. If you imagine a large rectangular parking lot, there's four screens at each corner of the rectangle with a concession stand/bathroom in the center. As such, if you are parked at screen one, you can position yourself so that you can see two other screens - one in the back and one to the left. Not that you'd necessarily want to do that, but if your kids are watching the family movie and you want to watch something else (granted, from a distance) you could feasibly do so. We didn't get the memo about bringing your own food as other drive-ins usually charge to bring in outside food. That is not the case with Starlight. They sell very basic things - popcorn ($7 for large), nachos ($6), and drinks. Not even prepackaged boxes of candy. In my eyes this is a huge miss because the concessions building is so vintage (check out the lovely vintage pink bathroom in the ladies restroom) and could be such a beautiful retro space. My favorite spot was just outside the concessions/bathroom building where there were a few picnic tables. From here you can watch one of the screens, enjoy a bite to eat (in theory), imagine what the Starlight must have been like in its heyday, and hope that this old theater lasts another 70+ years.

Be prepared to not be able to watch the first movie. People arrive up to an hour and a half late, and apparently no one knows how to turn off their headlights and there's no staff to enforce people turning them off. Many people leave their car running, which means that even if their headlights are off, their parking lights (yellow) are on which still washes out the screen. People leave halfway through the movie and turn their headlights on to exit, blinding you. Snack bar has popcorn, nachos and hot dogs and Skittles and Whoppers. They're overpriced for the size, but you can bring in your own snacks. There are no napkins at the snack bar. The restrooms were very clean, but there were no paper towels, only an air dryer. TP was stocked, one toilet didn't look like it was flushing. The movie or song will start before the other, so if you have movie and no sound, just wait. Before you go practice turning off your headlights so you don't turn on your high beams 3 times figuring it out. Learn how to dial in the FM radio before arriving. Bring your own napkins and snacks, and be prepared to not really get to watch the first movie. If you park to the side and leave your headlights on, yes you're still washing out the screen, just turn them off. If you park in the back and leave your headlights on you're watching it the screen and blinding everyone on front of you. Maybe if you go on a busy night it's better staffed, but I thought going on an off night would provide a better experience. People move around after the first movie, some to leave, some to swap screens, some to get a better spot, some for reasons unknown. People arrive up to 40 minutes late for the second movie, but after that it was mostly good, outside of People turning on their headlights randomly for a couple of seconds. I arrived 45 minutes early to get a good spot, and thankfully no giant trucks parked in front of me, but they did shine their headlights in my side mirrors and blind me. I had to ask 3 different people to turn off their headlights. I don't care if you're going at it on the back seat- have fun, just please turn off your headlights. This is best for viewing if you've seen the movies before and don't care if you can see what you're watching. It's $10/person and you can being in your own snacks, so it's a good deal, provided you live nearby. Please note that the screens look small in the photos, but they're actually quite large and a good size for viewing from the car.

It was my first time there , Very bad experience! So many cars parked in the front of the first parking row. That means itâs not a parking line there. They are not supposed to park just under the screen. Should have a sign to warning ppl about that. There was a guy to tell ppl turn off the headlights when the movie started. It seems like a good management, right??? BUT!!!!! After 20 mins, so many cars just drove to the very front side to look for a closer view. Even the first parking line is no more spaces. Then some cars just started to block the driveways, it was so distracting and annoying. Thereâs no theater employee came to manage it, then we have to talk to different cars to tell them not supposed to do it. The lawn Is not a parking lot ..etc. It is a bad experience tonight, I would not come back for sure. We came here before 8:00pm, so we were early enough to park in the first row for the best view. But others just did the short cuts in the middle of the movie and totally blocked our driveways. Made us unsafe to sit in front of our cars. This is unfair! It looks like a popular place, but needs a better management. Otherwise you wonât have repeat clients.

đš ATTENTION OWNER đš You have no way of getting in touch with you so this is the only way to reach out to you , I can only hope this will help us to get in touch with you ! My family visited your Drive in on Wednesday night for the first time and really enjoyed our first visit that was until we were leaving through your exit on the right hand side on the hill and due to the failed malfunctioning of your spike strip it ruined my tire one of the spikes were bent ! And from the information received from the security lady that came and took pictures stated that there was an accident there the night before and that could have caused the issue but she also stated that you would reaching out to my family Thursday morning to replace the tire and we are on day 4 and still have not received a call from anyone ! So please if you see this review get with your security and contact us we are waiting on the phone call ! Have a blessed day

I've been coming here for years, since college đđ€. I just saw the Avengers Infinity war here tonight. My friends and I come early to set up shop. We bring food and games to keep us entertained until the movies start. The sound quality is always good. If you've never been to a drive in, the sound is broadcast through your car's radio. The station you have to tune to is listed on each screen. The picture quality depends on how you park your car and how good your spot it. Come early đŻ. If you have an SUV you may want to back into the spot, to sit in the back and watch the movie through the back door. If you're in a car, park forward and you'll be good. I've never set foot into the vending area or bathrooms here because I usually bring my own refreshments and I can hold myself over until I get home to use my bathroom đ. Overall, I've always enjoyed my experience at Starlight; even the movies that didn't get watched.
