Pike Drive In Theatre — Local services in Clinton Township

Showed up early, wife wasn’t too happy being the first car in line and before any of the employees showed up, but we live a fair distance away and Jurassic Park and Top Gun were playing on a holiday weekend. I figured it would be busy and I was right.

At $10 for adults and $10 for a food permit, it was a $30 date for the wife and I, plus we got to bring the dogs!

My only complaint was that I wish the screen was a bit higher in the air. We were in a large SUV and we had a larger SUV in front of us. Their hatch cut off the bottom foot or so of the screen. As this was our first time there and we were first ones in we could park anywhere. I highly recommend the first row now that I have done this. The bumps are large enough that you won’t have any problem seeing the screen from the front.

Excited to go back even if we need some tweaks to the car to make it more...

The lights and car noise was very distracting and made it hard to hear. The "Pike Drive in" sign was very bright and remained lit up until 11:30 pm, just to distract further. The bathrooms were not very nice. I will say that they were clean, at least. The snack bar left a lot to be desired and bottle of soda (a regular 12 oz bottle) was $3.20. We did not bother to get the overpriced food or pay the $10 fee to bring in our own food. Overall, we made it work but there is absolutely no chance we will...

This place is retro fun with the best new movies. It is family run with great food. You gotta come early to hear the Drive-In tunes while you wait for it to get dark. They play songs about drive-ins along with other favorites. There are even Drive-In traffic reports and other fun announcements between the songs. There are two working screens with two movies each. You can even purchase souvenirs, a VHS on the history of Drive-In theaters and movie posters too. The popcorn is fresh and you can butter it yourself. Its worth the...
