First discovered the Family Drive In during the first year of the pandemic. It was good then and it remains good today. Two movies for $12/adult is unbeatable in 2022, pair that with concessions that are both tasty and affordably priced and it doesn't feel like this place should be possible (they actually tell you they make zero profit from ticket sales so please buy concessions if you want this place to thrive). My advice would be to come as soon as the gates open, two hours before show time, so you can get your preferred parking spot and have dinner. It's also the only way you'll get one of their pizzas, they sell out show time every time.

Fathers day movie night. Several times during the night we had major disturbances. Cars WITH HEADLIGHTS ON CONSTANTLY! Dogs barking and owners not taking control (leave your dog at home people) Kids talking and running around. Theater Speakers could be updated and could be way better. My biggest gripe is that this is the second time I've been here and the concessions was not stocked. It's not going to last much longer being run the way they are running it. Honestly it's a shame because drive ins don't exist anymore and we have been blessed to experience this one when it was much better. My advice is you will have a better experience staying home

We loved our visit, even though it was raining we made the best of it!! Dr Strange movie was amazing!! The consession food was great, we even spoke with the Manager Ron hes a wonderful person!! We will be back for Top Gun in a few weeks! We can't wait!! Rain or shine we will be there! I recommend everyone to visit this drive in and enjoy it with your family. It's great fun and great people! We are thankful to have the Family Drive In near us!! Not many around anymore!! Go there n have some good food n fun!

This was an awesome family experience! The movie selection was perfect for our family. We went during the labor day overnight and was delighted although we found ourselves dozing a few times due to earlier engagements. …

Is the concession stand open? The FAQ sheet lists a question about food, but no answer. If the concession stand is not open yet, can we bring our own food (previous owners had a charge)

I am going to the John Bon Jovi concert next week and they are saying we need to bring a FM radio. Is this true? As you know it is hard to find a FM radio these days. Thanks Chrissy Cooper

Chrissy Cooper | Jun 15, 2021
Brian Suter | Jun 16, 2021

They transmit over an fm frequency you can pick up in your car or a hand held radio. We went to a Tobymac concert there and the band used their own sound system. Sounded good!
