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.

Follow them on FB they post their weekly showings there and on their website.
Most likely. But send a boom box with them for drive in Radio sound. Enjoy your Fun under the stars.
How do I get the website
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!
Early bird catches the.....ummmm....Movie. I have not seen it sold out myself, but I hear it happens.
Yes, you can bring in coolers no problem. Not sure about the types of beverages allowed ;-)
They suffered some pretty bad storm damage a couple months ago and sounds like it maybe late summer if they do reopen this year
8 per adult kids 4 and under are free I think. Children 5 bucks . And a car fee of 5 dollars.
They have a website that shows whats playing and whats upcoming
88.7 FM
If you look at their website they have what the premiere movie is and what the second movie is as well as their pricing for this year. They used to be able to charge buy the car instead of by the person but because of stupid regulations they aren't able to do that anymore
Yes, go early, detours both directions east and west...
They are open Memorial Day through Labor Day
Check their Facebook page for updates on what is playing.
After August 23rd it'll be open weekends only until mid to late October
Don't think they do, since fireworks aren't allowed.
Yes it is
88.7 is the station
I would continue to monitor their website. It's really a great family experience you don't want to miss.
Double features at reasonable rates. Excellent movies. Well worth the visit.
Venom is the main feature and Crazy Rich Asians is the co- feature.
Not that I know of. I haven't seen a movie there with closed captioning. I've never thought to ask if they have closed captioning available.
Maybe same that is coming out July 6? ,not sure they don't have it listed 9n their website yet. Coming July 6th! Ant-Man and the Wasp followed by Incredibles 2
Yes
88.7 fm, you'll need a tuner app like iheart
Every Thursday they post on Facebook what they will be showing for the next week
Appears to be FRI - SUN until after Memorial Day, then they include weeknights until the weather cools off. Check their fb for updated posts.
It is in Newton, Ia
They stop letting people in either when full or right before second movie.
Nope they play movies rain or shine.
The parking lot is mostly rock so it shouldn't be to bad.
Depends on weather
