Superior 71 Drive In Theater — Local services in Spirit Lake

My family & I love this place, we go regularly throughout the season & forego the regular theater for this drive-in. We fill the back of our Outback with pillows, blankets & foldable chairs & very much enjoy the atmosphere of this theater. The owners & employees are always super friendly & professional which makes us want to return again & again.

As for the actual film-watching experience, it can't be beat. No matter where you park, it's always a good seat, even when the lot is full. I've never found oncoming headlights to be a distraction; in fact, the SOUND of traffic (IF you can hear it) only adds to the ambiance of the drive-in, imho. The screen is very large, bright enough & sound (which is up to the customer on loudness) is always on par & never been a problem.

The films offered are always new releases & they offer double features (second film free to watch) every night.

There is a charge of $5 if you want to bring in your own food; the concessions have always been our choice except for one visit, but as a local, I don't mind paying this if it helps this local, family-owned business thrive & yes, I'm more than happy to pay this small fee if it helps & doesn't seem outrageous to me.

This is one of my family's most anticipated openings of the summer season & we're always sad when the season is over in the fall. Great for date night &...

The oncoming lights from traffic was a distraction. Perhaps a line of Colorado Blue Spruce ? They grow fast, or another type of barrier to absorb the lights and sounds of the road? Just a suggestion. Also banning outside food or charging an additional fee takes away from the kids packing snacks to take to the drive in. Plus, Valihi and others do don't charge or prohibit, they allow that, in addition to BBQs and picnics. I think your prices are good and people will buy even if they bring their own snacks. The notice about outside food is intimidating and often people have food in their cars and may turn away if they think they're going to be charged. Plus sugar and highly processed foods are unhealthy and people with health concerns or dietary restrictions should not have to go without as concessions are basic junk food, nor should they have to pay an additional charge for having to supply their own food. Your policy will send me to Lake Elmo instead. I will check back in the future to see if you change your policy and if so, I will...

It was date night tonight so I decided to do something different fun I thought but boy was I wrong. We showed up and payed for our movie and wasn't told what movie was playing where and what station to tune to for sound for the movie we watched the first movie of a double feature and then decided to switch screens at intermission to watch the movie we really wanted we where confronted and told we couldn't do that which we had no idea and where asked to leave or pay again!!
