Moved here from Seattle and we live just down the street. We usually wait for movies to watch or stream at home, but we really wanted to see the new Jurassic Park movie. And as a bonus, they were also playing the new Minions movie! Let me just say, this was such a wonderful experience!!! Took me back to my days as a kid, when My Mom would take My Brother and me to the drive-in in Phoenix. This place is wonderful! On a side note, Phoenix still has one of the few drive ins that has been there since I was a kid, and took my wife to on many dates. Please support establishments like this! All of the people working here are so kind and welcoming. We arrived 2-hours before the show, so we could get a good spot. I really enjoyed watching the kiddos running around and having a good time. Reminded me so much of me and My Brother sitting in the back of My Dad's Pick up, which My Mom drove us in. All of the kids were running amok and playing, which was so nice that they aren't glued to to phones or technology. Because My Partner is diabetic, we chose to pay the fee to bring our own sugar-free drinks and fresh fruit snacks. I went to use the bathroom and happened to see the food that people were purchasing. It all looked and smelled incredibly tasty! I especially enjoyed the old-timey videos that are played in between each feature. All of the patrons were also very respectful of each other. I felt like a kid again, going back in time! I was a little worried because my vehicle is newer, and was worried that I my car lights would come on, when I pressed the accessory/start button. I accidentally screwed up, because I am not used to keeping it on for such a long period. One of the workers came over and told me that my tail-lights were on, and I figured it out, and was thankful that they were so kind and thankful that they told me. I was also a bit worried that I would drain my battery. But it was fine. A few people at the end did have problems starting their car at the end, but they are so prepared for that. And will give you a jump, if needed. This place if very lovingly cared for, and you get a good view no matter where you decide to park. Overall, I give this place a 10 out of 10! Wonderful. And just like back in the day, the men's bathroom is cramped and weird. I am a larger male, the urinals are a bit too close for comfort, but the guys are very respectful of that. The movie looked fantastic, and the sound was amazing. Wonderful sound quality! I definitely will come back! We got T-shirts from the snack bar. Definitely...
Read moreI have been going here for the past 15 years, if not longer. When they needed to do their upgrades to digital, I always brought extra money to donate at the end of the snack bar. I typically bring my pets, as they enjoy spending the time with us and are really friendly. We make sure that we have plenty of pet supplies (water bottles, food, pet bags, etc.).
I was approached by one of the owners between the two movies because I had walked across the front of the theater to avoid cars that were leaving. There is NO light between the shows, and the majority of the cars didn’t have their lights on to be able to see my black dogs. I explained this to him, and he said that I was told not to walk across the front, and if I wouldn’t comply, he wouldn’t allow me to bring them. No problem! I won’t be back. Mid-way drive Inn plays the same shows at a lower rate. If MY safety isn’t as important to you as where my dogs use the restroom (plus I had the baggies just in case), then I am clearly not welcome. Just a shame it took me this long to realize that the patrons aren’t...
Read moreThis is a true Americana drive-in experience, right down to the neon lights at the ticket booth. Very reminiscent of the experiences I had in the late 70's and early-to-mid 80's at my local (now well-defunct) drive in. It is a full-function drive-in, with traditional mound parking, full snack bar/grill, and restroom facilities. Restrooms are very well maintained and bright. Snack bar includes hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, soft pretzels drinks, candy, etc. Outside food and beverage can be brought in for an additional $10 fee (keep in mind that most profit at any theater comes from concessions, and drive-ins especially because they are double-feature). Ticket prices are $8 for adult and $4 for child 12 and under. I had the opportunity to chat with the owner a bit, and it's obvious that the drive-in is a labor of love; they really seem to have a genuine passion for the experience and nostalgia. I'm glad that I was able to share the experience with my kids, and I hope that the Super 322 is around for a while to keep the...
