Amazing place to watch a movie under the stars. In the comfort of your own car, you can recline your seat and enjoy the film. Bring your blanket and snuggle with your loved ones. You can even bring your dog!
Great evening out :)

Well I emailed the company with my concerns and got no reply. So I'll alert the public. I've seen a lot of staff walking around with no facemask. The washroom attendant is on his phone the whole time, the line is a regular line, no 6 feet. Anyone going in to use bathrooms or get food should mandatory be wearing a mask enforced by staff. They aren't. None of the rules the company claims to uphold are at all. Kids playing at the park, dogs, no masks....

I wouldnt recommend anyone to go here until issues are addressed.

ALWAYS A TIME! so much fun and live the vintage commercials. Upset that you cant bring in outside food considering options are very greasy but I still bring in my own food. Not very many veggie options, or healthy foods

Staff was really rude, asked us to move our car 4 times but never gave us any reason. We were within the spots suggested by them for social distancing, made us move, yelled at us and threatened to call cops on us. When we asked why, we were told "because we can", we were pretty much kicked out; they harassed us so much asking to move again and again while we were trying to watch a movie that we decided to leave. No apology, no explanations and no money back. We never watched any movie and had to leave because of two men who work there made our experience so bad.

Fun family location with great first run movies. Take in a double feature in your pajamas, a triple feature or the occasional dusk to dawn, all for the price is a single movie. Enjoy the onsite Diner!

It s great to watch 2 sometimes 3 moves but the staff are very unhelpful. I appreciate that they run on the screen that u should engage your parking brake so when u start your car, the lights don t come on. Unfortunately, not all do follow this (don t care). U would think the guys flying around on the golf carts would go to these cars and tell them to engage their brake. Nope. I have to get out and tell them.
Super busy and horrible prices and taste at the snack bar.

Drove out here from Toronto. It was busier than I expected, get here early for a good spot. The screen quality and sound were great. The bathrooms were fine at the beginning of the night but by the evening they were dirty and about half were not usable.

For food they have a lot of options, the nachos and popcorn were good. But I'd recommend getting these at the beginning of the night. By the intermission between the two movies it seemed like they just make one large batch of popcorn and fries at the beginning of the night and then keep it warm. I got cheese fries at the intermission, they were stiff and chewy as if they'd been sitting out for a while. My bf got onion rings at the beginning of the night and they were amazing.
We also got hot chocolate and coffee (freshly brewed) at intermission and they were both awful. A lot of people got iceys and bagged candy, which in retrospect seem like the better choices.

All in all it was a great experience and I will be returning.

Parking and directions are very limited. It's nice being about 6 to 7 rows from the screen. It's too far otherwise. Screen 1 has the glare from lights from a nearby baseball/sorcer field. The movies are bit dark on the screen. The audio is good, except for some inteferance. Advance booking would be a good option, than being at the counter and knowing that larger vehicles cannot be accommodated. Some vehicles had a luggage carrier on the roof if their car, and it obstructed the view.

The yellow poles which would serve as demarcation don't have any reflectors stickers, making it a bit hard to spot.

There should be some indication where there is parking , or some form of lane numbering, cars that arrive a few minutes late are driving around and pose a danger to the ones already settling in to their lawn chairs.

On the whole a great experience. But it is way too crowded on Thursdays. . Just too many cars . There is line up to get in and line up to get out. Also in the event of an emergency , there is only one exit.

Hatchback doors of big cars open obstructed the view. There should be some way to create an order smaller cars in the front, SUV at the back and after certain point car with hatchback can park the car in reverse and keep the hatchback open.

Good luck getting in. We waited a half hour in lineup to find some screens full up including the one we wanted and others had started the films while we were in line. We gave up and left...a wasted evening.

It is a great spot for dates! There are some outdoor vending options and specials during the week - just check it out on their website.

I think this is the place for couples who need a bit of a change of scenery.

Good to see that Drive Ins are still around. This location is convenient and close to highways. More investment is badly required to better enjoy the experience of watching a movie from a car.

Took the family to the drive in tonight for the first and last time! I paid my admission, was told where to park and then was told I had to leave because my vehicle was to big. Meanwhile the big van beside me was ok! When I brought that to the yard supervisors attention he said it was smaller. Then basically called us liars when we told him the other employee told us to park there. Then when asked to speak to the manager we were given nothing but lies and excuses! Finally got to speak with the Manger who had zero class and customer service skills. Basically my family night was ruined because they don't communicate or train their staff properly!

The value is unbeatable and the popcorn is unmatched. Easy to get comfy and love that you can sit outside your car or inside. Very chill atmosphere. Summer never Complete without a few nights at the drive-in

Love this place and it's the only alternative to going to the movies these days. Make sure to book tickets online, despite it saying in faq's that they only sell them at the box office. Usually they dont allow outside food but for now the concession stands are closed so nobody complained when we brought a pizza with us. THANKS TO Rob and Lianne for making our wedding anniversary special!

A real classic drive in movie theatre. Enjoy it! These places arent around for much longer so make sure you get out to support it. The movies are basically priced two for one. Pro tip is bring your own water/beverage and just buy their popcorn to help keep the doors open and the screens lit up. Enjoy!

Been coming here for years. Prices are great and so is the mood. Everyone is excited and ready for movies under the stars. It's great for kids of all ages. You can sit in the car or outside. They always play the latest movies on three screens at least two movies per night sometimes more. Worth checking out.

Been here a few times, definitely worth the hour drive to get there from my place. It definitely brings back memories of getting in my pajamas n trying to stay awake through both movies. I always come an hour before to get a good spot.

Fun experience! It's nice to see drive in theatres still operational. Getting into the theatre is a hassle though, be sure to arrive minimum 1 hour before your movie starts otherwise your likely to miss it waiting in line.

Amenities are also never clean as well, so hold it in as best as you can!

Bang for your buck though, so much cheaper than going to the local cineplex theatre and a lot more fun

I would like to know why the show time for Incredibles 2 is at 11:30 pm?? It s unbelievable kids needs to sleep early as a mom of a 8 and 5 years old kids I would never allow my kids to stay that late to watch a movie.

Love the idea, the movies and the place. Definitely prefer this as a cinematic experience than going to the cineplex! Snacking and chilling with friends while watching the movie is great. The intermission and advertisments for the snack bar were pretty cool. The amenities were pretty decent as well and all in all its always a great experience here! (Except when the movie sucks... )

Great drive-in. Massive screens with lots of room for cars. Has food, multiple screens with multi-movie nights where you can sit and watch 3 movies in a row. Washrooms could use a reno. Gets busy on summer weekend nights

Washrooms backed up and not working, long waits for food, rude staff couldn't see the movie due to terrible screen. This business is dying because the care and respect they had in the 60's, 70's, and 80's is gone. I read the replies of the owners comments of the complaints and they didn't appologize for any of the complaints or offer to do anything and quite frankly I am not suprised. They keep this place as bad as the service. I will take the drive to Hamilton next time as I hear that place is better.

Great place for a movie.. I would have given it 5 stars if they didn't take 10 minutes to find ketchup this evening. We have been coming here for years. The screens could use a new brighter paint job like the Barrie location but the price is good, the food is good and the staff are very laid and cool.

I've always had a ton of fun seeing movies here. You're not supposed to bring outside food, but I recommend bringing a pizza, some drinks, lawn chairs, a blanket, and enjoy the night.

Make sure to get there early to avoid huge lines, and don't forget the bug spray (you'll need it).

It's a good experience. This shouldn't be compared to a regular theatre since they each have their own pros and cons. I remember watching the first Harry Potter here as a kid when it first came out and enjoyed it with the family. I've watched other movies here over the years, with the latest being "Fate of the furious". Personally, I prefer to watch movies in the theatre or at home, but I guess enjoying this place may have to do with what 5 Drive-in says, "Movies are always bigger and better under the stars!"

Great place to be especially for families with young kids. I go pratically every weekend in the summertime with my family.

One thing I would change is the preparation of the food everything is Soooooo Salty!!! And every year it seems to get worse.I bought a poutine last night and had to throw it out. I think seeing they are asking not to bring outside food I should be able to eat the food that I buy inside. Fries should be done with no salt and added at customer requests.

Beside this little hiccup everything is great.

Very nice drive-in with a retro vibe. We were expecting concession stand prices to be extremely expensive, but they were decent. The food also tasted good. The double-feature option is also really nice!

Great experience! My children have been to drive-in before, however it was my first time. A wonderful way to spend a fun evening with the family. The ticket price is $13.00 per person for an adult but you get your money's worth. You get to watch three movies (If you care to spend the time) on one of the three screens. You can take your own food. There is a snack bar on site which offers pop corn and other fast food. Upon purchasing ticket you are given a frequency to tune in to the sound of the movie you choose to watch. Quality of sound is great and I like the fact that you can adjust the volume in your vehicle to your liking. If you haven't been there before, I urge you to experience it. I am certain that you won't be disappointed.

Basically 2 for 1; 2 movies for the price of one admission at a regular theatre, snacks are quite expensive but it's nice to have your own space while watching a movie. wouldn't suggest watching movies that seem like they'd have a lot of dark scenes, it can get quite hard to see especially if people forget to turn their headlights off
