This drive in is one of the best I have been to. Their screen appeared to be made of vinyl, which I have not seen before. But the picture was good. And prices were reasonable.

Surrounded by honeysuckle, the cars are parked single deep, which is the best for movie viewing purposes in ny opinion. The parking area looked brand new. I am not sure if they smooth out the gravel before each week, or if i happened to catch them on a good week, but it was great. The parking area was also very clean and did not have a gross smell.

There is a playground for kids to play on featuring a slide, seasaws, merry go rounds, and concrete bouncers on springs. There is also plenty of area to throw or kick a ball around both in front of the parking area (gravel) as well as in the very back (grass).

The bathrooms had about 5 stalls (females) and were located in a safe area, not hidden. They were clean and kept up as well.

As for the concessions, there is not a lot of variety when compared to other drive in theatres. Primarily hot dogs, sausages, bbq sandwiches, popcorn, soda, and candy (see picture I posted). I have to give them credit though, that the food they do offer is good. The food prep area and concession area are clean and well managed. I think it is better to offer only a few foods that are good than a bunch of foods that are poor in taste (and they offer a few foods that are good. Which is good.) I would just recommend considering to offer more... maybe burgers and fries? The concession prices are reasonable, as well.

One last thing... the building which their concessions are sold in is possibly the best one I have seen, both in style and design. There are two entrances, one on each side, which lead to a single exit in the middle. This allows for traffic to flow through conveniently, instead of having to do this swimming upstream to get back outside sort of thing.

Highly recommend...

Great place to take the family & the only thing that I would complain about the drive-in is that there are always people with big jacked up pickup trucks that will come in and park right in front of your car and then you can't see anything over it, and if it were me running the place I would reserve the first 3 or 4 rows for cars only. If you drive a big pick up truck where you are going to be able see over everybody anyway, be courteous to others around you, park behind them if you want to drive a pick up truck that's lifted and then you get in the back and stand up the whole time. I've literally gotten there almost at the very front of the line, I got a great spot and then somebody left in front of me and some big pick up truck came in and I couldn't see anything, ended up having to move and we couldn't even see the movie almost the whole time. Other than that it is great, especially their concession prices. But, the rude people that show up at the drive-in are enough to make me not go on most weekends. If I knew that I could come in and get a good spot and not have to worry about people ruining the experience for me because the vehicle they drive, I would probably go almost every weekend, but as it is I didn't even go once last year and I've only been once this year, and guess what, I had to deal with some kids jacked up truck parked in front of me, and they just parked it and walked off to go hang with friends, didn't even...

I remember coming here when I was younger and being approached to turn my headlights off, as the movie had already started. I promptly turned them to the parking lights. After I parked, I was approached by whom I assumed to be security. This security person told me that I should have turned my lights off when I was asked. After politely explaining that I felt like it was more safe that I could see, albeit barely, than not disturb the other patrons, another man approached me. I explained the same story to him and he promptly told me to leave otherwise I would be arrested by himself, who happened to be the local sheriff and owner. So I left. It's been 10-ish years since this has happened. The same people still own the place, as far as I know. I'm now in my late 20's and sadly feel like I wasn't the immature person in this situation. I would not attend this theater, for fear of being ran over, and for the poor management who will threaten to arrest you if you don't do everything they ask you to. If you want to watch a movie in North...

Un autocine que aguanta los años y el paso de la ruta 66, estaba cerrado pero no me impidió sacar unas fotos y videos...está justo al lado de la ruta 66 así que no hay motivos para no pararse 1 minuto a ver un trozo de historia...

Absolutely one of the best Drive in movie theaters! Clean,fresh,updated but with all the retro feels. Very nice employees and affordable clean snack bar with great options. Extremely nice Gravel parking areas. The grounds are always spectacularly clean,mowed and free of debre and no grass in the parking areas. Clean, multiple bathrooms to choose between sides.Attention to details that matter to us patrons.Nice big screen.We love being able to see the two movies each weekend for one affordable price. Decent safe playground up front for children to enjoy. Nice green areas on the sides and back for different play areas before or in between movies like Frisby & catch etc.
