La Grande Drive In — Local services in La Grande

So many great times and wonderful family memories made here. We've been going to the La Grande Drive Inn for at least 22 yrs now. I brought my kids and a countless number of their friends every summer all thru their childhood, and now I've been lucky enough to take 2 of my grandsons to see movies at the Drive Inn. We've even spent 4th of July there before. Watching fireworks overhead and the family animation Rio 2, in front of us. My grandson was 4 at the time and he thought it was amazing! My other grandson who is 4 now, just loves the "GIANT TV", and thinks they control it with a "GIANT REMOTE." HAHA. I hope that it remains open and operating for many years to come. I couldn't imagine summer nights without some spent at the La Grande Drive Inn! (🚗 🎥 🌙 👪 ❤) Also in regard to some of the other maybe unfair reviews. 20 years ago we paid $15.00 for a car with 4 people to see 2 movies, sometimes 3 movies (usually the last weekend of the summer) now all these years later it's gone up a whole $6! A car with 4 people is now $21.00 TO SEE 2 MOVIES FOR 4 PEOPLE, so that's about $2.62 PER PERSON PER MOVIE. Under $2 each if it's 3 movies! I don't see how that's not economical?! Or how it could possibly cost $100 unless they are paying for several cars? Yes it's a few bucks more per person after 4 people, $4 .00 I think, but I still don't see how that could cost $100? If this family went to the theater to watch 2 movies it would have to cost $200-$300 then?! Also we have always taken in our own snacks and drinks we've never been checked, talked to, or asked, and have certainly never had it taken away, and we have never hidden it. Last point~their website clearly states that the gates open at 8:30 and the movie starts at dark. Of course there is going to be a line to get in when they first open. Where isn't there a line to get into a movie when the box office...

Too much nookie goin' on from the kids around here. Watch the movies you paid to see. What am I supposed to tell my young'uns when they see you swapping spit with someone you just met at Dairy Queen two hours before while you were hunting for Pokemon on your app? You should be saving yourself for marriage. But if not, then there's a time and a place for this kind of philandering: college. Hope you can achieve that goal. Or otherwise before you know you it, you'll be ejecting a couple kids out of the womb and ending up on welfare with a deadbeat dad focused on wrangling up Pokemon, leaving you to pass the time by lapping up hooch out of a shared Dixie cup out back behind the local Chug 'N Puff. All because you couldn't sit straight ahead and focus on the double feature you paid to...

It's an old-fashioned drive in movie theater. Isn’t much more than that, but it is amazing, considering how rare drive-in theaters are anymore. It's a fun experience for the whole family; you pay $17.50* for your car, find a parking spot in front of the screen, tune your radio to the given station, and enjoy the movies. They usually play a family appropriate movie first, then a moree mature (PG-13/R) movie last. While the viewing experience is sub-par, one cant really expect a ton from this style of theater to begin with; Its all about the fun of the experience. Overall, a great affordable, rare experience for the whole family; one I would definitely recommend. *Their prices change pretty frequently, so check the Granada...
