Drive-In Ground Rules

Help us keep the nostalgic drive-in experience safe and fun for everyone!

🎬 Drive-In Etiquette & Rules

  • Movie Sound via FM Radio:

    Sound is broadcast on 88.3 FM. You can use your car radio or bring a portable FM radio. Keep your key in the accessory position to avoid draining your battery.

  • Speed Limit is 5 MPH:

    Always watch for children walking to/from the snack bar. Drive extremely slowly and keep headlights off once inside the theater rows.

  • Turn Off Headlights:

    Your vehicle's headlights, running lights, and interior dome lights must remain OFF during the show. Use a blanket to cover dashboard lights if they cannot be turned off.

  • Parking & Vehicle Size:

    Large vehicles, trucks, SUVs, and vans must park in designated back rows (rows 12 and higher) so they do not block the view of smaller cars parked in front.

  • No Outside Food Policy:

    We rely on our Snack Bar sales to keep ticket prices low and keep the theater open. Please support our Snack Bar! If you bring outside food, a $10 permit fee is required at the box office.

  • Pets are Welcome:

    Dogs are permitted on leash at all times. Please clean up after your pet. Pets are not allowed inside the Snack Bar building.

💡 Pro Tips for a Great Night

  • Pack Blankets & Pillows: Even in summer, nights can get cool. Back your SUV in and set up a cozy viewing lounge in the trunk!
  • Bring Bug Spray: Keep the mosquitos away while sitting outside in lawn chairs.
  • Dead Battery assistance: If your car battery dies from running the radio, visit the box office or snack bar. We have free jump-starts available!
  • Arrive Early: Popular double features fill up fast on Friday and Saturday nights. Arrive by 7:30 PM to secure the best spot.
