What parents say
"Me and my man enjoy going to the drive-in for date night. You get to enjoy your movie without the distraction of people walking across you all night. They have a nice snack stand with good movie snacks. We went to the indoor theater a few weeks ago, and both got sick, so it's the drive-in for me."

"Be prepared to not be able to watch the first movie. People arrive up to an hour and a half late, and apparently no one knows how to turn off their headlights and there's no staff to enforce people turning them off. Many people leave their car running, which means that even if their headlights are off, their parking lights (yellow) are on which still washes out the screen. People leave halfway through the movie and turn their headlights on to exit, blinding you. Snack bar has popcorn, nachos and hot dogs and Skittles and Whoppers. They're overpriced for the size, but you can bring in your own "

"Last if its kind, for sure. Could be perfect, but the staff really need to communicate to the patrons the importance of making sure their headlights are fully off. Even going out and making sure people are turning them off. Really ruins the movie, and I'm sure they'd listen to staff if asked."
