Memory Lane Drive In Theatre — Local services in Frenchtown Charter Township

Outstanding facility from the friendly people at the gate, to the helpful people at the snack bar. A wide variety of tasty things to eat and drink here, with more being added throughout the year. Clear digital projection and sound on their brand new screen.

Trucks must park in back, which makes sense bc of their height. Playground for your kids that is safe and clean. If you plan on bringing inside food, there is a reasonable $5.00 fee per vehicle. Simeone posted on here that it was "almost" $8.00, untrue. Understand that the movie industry takes roughly 75% of your payment at the gate, just like any movie theatre. The ticket prices, for 2 movies, is extremely reasonable!

Therefore, the only way for this place to survive is to purchase some of their food, which BTW is pretty dam tasty!! Very clean bathrooms and theatre property. They play a combination of first run movies along with some really cool retro movies from the past.

You will be asked to tie the hatch of your SUV down (of course), so that your neighbors behind you can see. Every parking spot is a good "seat" at Memory Lane. Bring your lawn chairs and get comfortable outside. Also, plan on using bug spray (again, of course) bc those little mosquitoes are hungry devils!

Clean, dust free parking lot here with plenty of garbage cans. Although, I can't believe that there are some patrons that leave their mess behind. Too bad they can't bring their mommy with them to pick up after them.

This is the first ozoner to be built in over 60 years in the USA. It has a really nice country feel with frogs chirping in the background, to the calming clickety clack of an occasional train in the distance.

These folks work very hard for everyone to have a safe, pleasant drug and alcohol free evening. Get off your butt and check it...

What a fantastic treasure to have practically in our own backyard! Concessions were plentiful and service was quick and friendly. They even sell bug spray, which was so helpful when the brand new can we'd brought with us decided to stop spraying. 😭 My husband and I sat out on camp chairs while our kids took the back of our SUV, but he had a hard time hearing the movie even when we turned the radio up. I was so pleased to find, on a second concession run, that they rent out portable radios with great speakers. I'm sure the people in the row behind us were also grateful that we stopped having to turn accessory mode back on in the car - even adjusting the settings, the headlights kept coming on and staying on for several seconds each time. We were kindly asked once by the owner to turn them off and I had to explain it was automatic. He was very nice about it and about having me adjust my parking job to meet their fire lane requirements. These things could have been handled in a much more negative way, but it was all very polite and friendly. The only "complaint" we have is that we saw Free Guy/Jungle Cruise and it would have made more sense to us if Jungle Cruise had been the first film, since that was the Disney film and so the one we brought our kids to see, and one of them fell asleep before the end of Free Guy - usually the more kid-friendly film is shown first. But they both have the same film rating, and our other kid was able to hang, so it was fine. Tickets were easy to buy in advance online and to redeem at the ticket booth, and the grounds were well-kept and clean. All in all, a great establishment and very affordable for two movies and concessions for two adults and two...

Loved it! It is still a work in progress but we had a ball! Pull your car up so that the color pole you were assigned is even with your dashboard. If you have a truck or taller, please park further back so you don't block the view. If you have an SUV or similar you may consider backing in and sitting in your own chairs under your open hatch. If you have a portable FM radio, consider bringing it. Movie audio is broadcast over an FM station. You can use your car audio but then you have to have your car in accessory mode the entire time. Bring bug drope. Bring a small flashlight. There is a playground for kids. The concession area is limited for now. Popcorn is AMAZING! Canned pop only for now. Pretzels, nachos and some candy were also available. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. Right now they have 1 screen with 2 more coming in the future. Check their Facebook page or website for what's showing and more info. It truly was a great time! P.S. if you are looking for a theater quality high end audio-visual experience, you may be disappointed. To me, drive in movies have always been more about the experience than the quality of the sound and picture. That being said,...
