Welcome to Summer at the Drive-In! 🎬
With the summer season in full swing, we are thrilled to welcome larger crowds to the theater! To ensure a safe, comfortable, and magical experience for everyone, we kindly remind all guests that purchasing a ticket at the gate includes an agreement to follow our theater policies. These guidelines exist to protect the financial future of our drive-in, maintain our insurance standards, and—most importantly—ensure every guest has a wonderful night.

Here are a few helpful tips and reminders for your visit:

💡 Vehicle Lights & Braking
To keep the lot dark and the screen clear, please turn off your headlights and interior lights (or turn off your vehicle if needed).

Pro Tip: If your vehicle’s lights won't turn off, bringing heavy blankets to cover them works beautifully!

Please also be mindful of keeping your foot off the brake pedal during the feature.

📻 Sound & Audio
While we do our best to maintain our classic pole speakers, they can occasionally be damaged or misplaced over the weekend. We inspect and repair equipment regularly, so if you encounter a faulty speaker, please let a staff member know so we can fix it during the week!

Recommendation: We highly encourage bringing a portable FM radio. This ensures you have clear audio in case a speaker is unavailable or your vehicle’s auxiliary power times out.

Please note: We do not currently have a streaming app available for movie audio.

👪 Supervision & Safety
We love seeing families at the drive-in! For the safety of your children and the comfort of fellow moviegoers, please ensure children are supervised by an adult at all times. The lot is very dark during the movie, making it dangerous for children to run freely, especially if vehicles are exiting. Supervision also helps us keep our restrooms and common areas clean and undamaged.

🧹 Cleanliness
We pride ourselves on maintaining clean concessions, restrooms, and grounds. If you notice an area that needs attention, please notify a staff member right away so we can address it immediately.

🍿 Outside Food & Concessions
Did you know that concession sales are what keep our drive-in open, rather than ticket prices? We deeply appreciate everyone who supports our business by purchasing our food!

Outside Food Permits: An outside food permit is required for all outside food and snacks brought onto the lot (including leftover food from prior events or camping supplies).

Permit fees help cover the daily operational costs of the theater, such as electricity, lawn care, and general upkeep.

Permits must be purchased at the box office. Outside food without permits discovered on the lot will be subject to double the cost, or guests may be asked to leave.

Our Promise to You: We respect that you choose to spend your hard-earned money with us. If you ever have an issue with a concession purchase, please bring it directly to a manager or the owner so we can make it right!

Thank you for being respectful of your fellow moviegoers and our hard-working staff. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping the drive-in tradition alive and well. Enjoy the show! Enjoy your night under the stars! 🌟

WOW!! What a busy night! We would like to apologize for the admission line taking so long last night. Besides the over 250 cars we had, we were having technical difficulties at the box office. We appreciated your patience and understanding!
