We had a great time! First time at a drive in for my 13 &14 year olds.

This is the only drive-in anywhere near where we live. Growing up there were several within a short driving distance. As they have been nearly extinct over the years it's nice to be able to go to one that's not too far away. And always 2 movies for less than most theaters charge for one. And even though they have a fully stocked snack bar you're more than welcome to bring your own cooler full of goodies and there won't be any movie police attempting to confiscate you treats. If you haven't been go and enjoy the nostalgia that was a part of my youth.

We went early September, the place wasn't overly crowded. The concession stand had good movie type food, we brought in our own but did grab some popcorn. The screen was huge and had a good picture! Perfect place for kids. We listened through our radio but they had speakers as well. Bring blankets, lawn chairs, and comfy clothes. The double feature makes for a long night! There is plenty of room to leave if you don't want to stay all night. Definitely going back!

This is one of the last great American drive-ins around and the closest one to DSM, just wished it was a little closer. We love this place and try to get out here at least a few times a year. It really just depends on what they are playing, we usually come out when they are playing 2 family friendly movies. We prefer coming out either early or late in the season, even if it a little chillier, because the movie starts earlier and we still have a 45 minute drive home. But coming out in the middle of summer on a great night is still pretty awesome. This place brings back so much nostalgia from my childhood. They have the field out front where kids play before the movie, concession stand, and the window speakers. Although, a lot of the speakers do not work, we usually bring a little transistor radio. You need to sign up for their emails or check out their Facebook page to find out what is playing.

Averi Dyer | Jun 5, 2019
Ashley Boatright | Jun 6, 2019

at dusk. so that can be kind of late. if you get there about 8 or 830, you'll probably get a good spot? if you want a really good spot, show up earlier, but movies sometimes don't start till 9 or a little later. bring a football or hacky sack. cards? there is a small field kids usually kick around a foot ball in! movies can get over late too! of you stay for both it might be 1 or 130 before you head out! ITS A BLAST!
