Paramount Entertainment Center — Attraction in Paramount

Great way to see a movie, especially during a pandemic, but I also a great option under normal circumstances. It's a very cool setup. The parking spots are on mounds so that your car tilts up toward the screen. I'm told not all drive ins have this. You can park either front or back facing the screen. Attendants are very good at helping you line up your car.

Based on my experience of an 11:00pm, Thursday screening, I'd recommend arriving about an hour before showtime. If you're not too concerned about where you park, then no need to rush. There were still plenty of spots once the movie started.

Some tips: Bring cash, the ticket booth is cash only. Clean your car (or at least the windshield) beforehand. The spots in my pictures are on the windshield not the screen ☹️. Their screen is very clean! Keep in mind that if you want to watch from the back of you car that your hatch might block the view. So you should park near the back.

We LOVE coming to this drive-in! Since having a baby, I wondered how my husband and I can still enjoy movie nights...and this is it! We can do diaper changes, breast feed, and rock him to sleep in our car without bothering other people. GAME CHANGER for date nights with a baby! Their snack bar has great options!

They also have plenty of candy, ice creams, and beveragea available. The lot is alwaya clean and the attendants are kind and can help you find a spot to park. Get there early on the weekends! It's first come, first serve and it gets packed! Week nights are a breeze though. I highly recommend driving an SUV or truck, as the smaller cars seem to often get stuck or scrape on the inclined parking spaces. The inclines are so you can get a good view of the screen. Picture quality is always good with great audio...

They're owned and operated by the same family that runs the swap meet/ drive in.

I've seen the same employees year after year and most seem to be pretty happy with their job.

The grounds are always clean and well lit and I never really felt like safety was an issue there.

This family probably has a number of options when it comes to what they can do with a massive piece of property in Los Angeles. They use it to offer entertainment shopping and employment/business opportunities to lower income people in a lower income neighborhood.

I wish them...
