Tried to have a nice night out with my husband tonight at the Glen Drive-In Theatre tonight but as it turns out, it seems the owner Brett Gardner is a complete hot head who knows nothing about following his own etiquette guidelines as stated on his website and proceeded to follow my husband to our car and harass and physically challenge my husband. During the previews there was a vehicle parked next to the building with it's lights on shinning brightly into our car so my husband walked back to ask it they could turn them off. It appeared no one was in the car so my husband came back to ours. Then after the movie started the lights came on again with no apparent movement of the car so my husband walked back again to see if the driver would be willing to turn them off or park behind the building because now it seemed it was one of the workers. The man that he questioned immediately got belligerent so my husband left. At the end of the first movie he went back to the concession stand to ask for a manager and this same man came out and said "They weren't on that long, just get back into your car, this isn't going down this way" to which my husband asked who the owner was and this man continued to say this is't going down this way. When my husband left the building to come back to the car this man followed him and approached our car attempting to take pictures of our liscence plate. When Dan stood in between him and the back of our car he threatened that he was going to call Warren Co Sheriff Dept. and asked my husband if he was going to drop him on the ground. My husband (with an are you kidding me kind of tone) said "no I'm not going to touch you do you want me to leave?" And the guy then told him yes, get off my property. So my husband got in the car and we left. WE WILL NEVER...
Read moreWe love this old school theater. It's a yearly tradition. My one suggestion is get there early! There haven't been any maintenance on the speakers to hear the movies in the last 30 years that I have known of. There are very few actual working ones any more. The theater has its own broadcasting system though, so you can bring your own portable radio to listen on. Each screen has it's own station, and they are each prominently displayed in multiple spots as you enter and pay for your tickets.
The screens are huge, and have recently been updated. The projectors have also been recently updated and everything is now digital. There is ample parking, and 95% of the parking spots offer a phenomenal view of the screen. You can bring your own snacks and drinks still, with no additional fees. Just remember, no alcoholic beverages outside of your vehicle, no glass containers, and you arent5allowed to have grills any more.
If you have a tailgate up to watch the movie from your vehicle, bring a small rope to tether it down to roof height so your not blocking others view of the screen. If you plan on sitting outside, make sure you bring chairs as sitting on blankets on the ground is...
Read moreWe saw The Lion King last night and really enjoyed ourselves. I saw many comments about the speakers there not working. If you look at there website it clearly states the old window speakers are for looks only they do not function at all. People should read the website or at least pay attention to the previews where it clearly says to tune your radio to the specific radio station, ie. 104.3 FM for screen 2. Because we did pay attention the sound was great! We didn't have a problem with others being rude but that will depend on the day you go. The price was very reasonable. $10 for adults, $5 for 4-12 and under 4 is free. So for our family of 4 to go watch a movie and have a nice family experience it cost us $25. Of course an added benefit over an indoor theater is you can bring all of your own snacks and drinks. I can't comment on their snack bar, we saved melber by bringing our own treats. The bathrooms were a little grimy but they served their purpose. It's a shame drive-ins are becoming a thing of the past. We made a nice little bed in the bed of our truck and snuggled up with our 3 and 6 year olds. Take time for your young kids and enjoy them It goes...
