5 Drive In Reviews

Was great, until we realised there were no bathrooms available for use, only portable toilets.

Couldn't believe it - we arrived 25 minutes ahead of time and sat in the lineup only a few cars from the front without moving. There was no one in the ticket booths at all. By the time a clerk showed up and we got through, the movie had already started. The people stuck behind us were even more late. Additionally, the ticket clerk seemed put out that she had to work at all and did NOT tell us the radio station and we had to ask someone close to us. We could not find the washrooms and then heard later that they were disgusting so perhaps it was better that way.
Not a good experience - we will not be going back.

I hope this drive-in sticks around for a really really long time. This is a summer classic, open much longer than you d expect for a Canadian drive-in.
It has three screens with great weekend deals and long weekend line-ups.
Always get there early to drive up to your favourite movie viewing location.

One thing I don t prefer is the washroom situation (they re not always working their best). But I assume they re on septic and do their best. Just imagine that part like you re camping. No stars down for this though, because I still have a super great time.

Would love some vegan hot foods served though ;)

Great change for your movie viewing pleasure. Friends and kids love it. Food prices are a bit high but understandable. Screen is slightly dark/contrasted.

Tuesdays and Thursday's are the greatest! Really cheap

Perfect place for a date! The food is amazing and the movie sound playing on the radio is just incredible!

Great drive in experience. Only suggestion would be more ticket booths for checking in cars. The line up was quite long

Amazing time, even when it started to drizzle, spacious and great sound quality, clean lots and open spaces

My experience was worst this time. I usually love this place. Unfortunately the FM frequency they are using giving a humming noise. Can't hear the dialogues in the movie when we talked the front counter they gave us back the money. But it can be a single incident. It's a good place for entertainment. I give one star so they can see this and resolve the issues. Need new commercial. It's too old and the music play in there it's sad and old. We come there to have fun not to get depressed.

A real treasure in Oakville. Good value and fun for the whole family.

The only one around mississauga ! 3 screens . Thursdays are the best deal of you have more than one person whoch is uaully the case. Regular price is about 12$ per person. The comfort of your own car. Come prepared for mosquitos after the month of May. Nice park area for kids to play before the movie. Arrive about an hour early for good parking and to get settled and go to the snack bar in time. I would reccomend 30 minutes to wait in line at the snackbar, its always packed....or better bring your own snacks.... no large cars or SUVs in the front 3 rows.

Went for a night out and brought our newborn, we went to watch 47 meters down on screen 3. You could not see ANYTHING on the screen, even when it was the brghtest, it was fuzzy. When the screen was dark, you literally could not tell what was happening or make out any picture. I called to let the staff know and the lady on the phone said she already knew this and so did head office..... Okay. If the staff knows you cannot see the movie, why not let your customers know so maybe they can chose a different movie or maybe chose to leave. We had to pack up all our stuff and wake our baby to put in the car seat, then present our ticket for a refund since all of the other movies started earlier and already 20 minutes in. It was great car ride home with a screaming baby

It took almost an hour to get in to pay for the movie. The movies were great price was right. But the bathrooms were disgusting!!!!! Better off going in the Bush!

Great to bring the kids. Fun night out. This is a fantastic, nostalgic event. I love that they still have the old starting reel. Great fun.

They got it dialed in with the Covid restrictions. Got in, watched movie and left. Still has the old charm with modern sound.

Awesome drive in if only there were more locations.

Really reminds me of the Riverdale drive-in theatre.

Good service except the kid at the snack bar thinks a cheese dog should be buried in nacho cheese. Horrible.

They should have made cheese boy in charge of buttering popcorn.

It serves it's purpose for a dying movie establishment. The concession and washroom facilities are in great need of repair.

Hi 5 Drive in are you guys opening soon due to COVID people will love to come out. please reply

Great 1st experience even though concession closed the intermissions were entertaining. Washrooms very clean and sanitized and they control numbers in and out. Movie and sound clear even through the rain. See you again!

I'm giving this 5 stars because of the whole experience and the rarity of drive ins. However, if you really want to indulge into the movie then this is not a great place to view it, there are some distractions of people and cars coming in and out in the first hour of the first show. The sound comes surround and clear through their radio frequency which adds to the experience

Old school place but a great night out for the family or a date! I would have given 5 stars but the washrooms are pretty gross, especially after the first movie is finished.

The video quality could be better, noise from the road kept interfering with the sound. I could barely see the entire screen from my spot, there should rows for sedan and different rows for SUV.

I will highly recommend bringing your own snacks, the food sucks there and is pricey. Otherwise, great experience. Oh get there early, it's quite popular so it gets packed quick.

The drive in is always fun! Great prices and very retro. There's a nice intermission between the two movies, which is ideal for getting snacks. They have so many snack options which are cheaper as compared to traditional movie theatres. Great date night!

Good quality, 50's aesthetic and nice to control volume in your own private space

Absolutely AMAZING! Best drive in, retro, cheap, and simply fantastic. I LOVE going there.

Amazing popcorn one of the best I ve ever had. I always love coming here, it s very confortable being able to sit in your car watching a movie.

Movie didn't start until 45 mins after the scheduled time and when it did it was the wrong movie. Took another 20 mins to correct that error. Will not come back after that waste of an evening.

Haven't been to the drive in since I was a kid. Took my son for the first time. We had such a great time! It brought back memories.

Tip #1 - Make sure and come at least an hour and a half early before show time so you can get a good spot. I recommend parking in the middle of the lot to get a great view of the screen.

Tip #2 - If you plan on purchasing snacks at the consession, park in your spot and go as soon as you can so you can buy your refreshments. The line up was super long!

Tip #3 - Bring your blanket and/or pillow. You want to make yourself comfy, especially for a double feature.

Tip #4 - Enjoy your movie!

Would definitely be back!

Nice to have a drive in still available. Good sight lines and great snack bar

Its a summer business and so the staff are temporary and often brand new. I've found this means they don't know what's going on, are out of almost everything including ice, don't store food properly and slip up alot till atleast a few weeks into the summer. I would definitely recommend arriving atleast an hour early for your movie because even though the rules state SUV's with hoods up and spot saving isn't allowed pretty much everyone does it and there's no enforcement around to stop it so if you come later than an hour prior you'll end up at the back unable to see

The grounds are well maintained, and the entrance and gate staff are a well run team so the lines move pretty quickly

Absolutely rude. Some employee yelling at my wife because she accidentally went through the exit after 100 previous cars went the same way. He didn't realize I was in the car in front. I got out when I saw him sticking his finger in my wife's face. This idiot acted like we were trying to get away with something. Absolute jerk. The exit sign is very small. It was an honest mistake, but this jerk was absolutely obnoxious and said we were making excuses as to why we turned In the way we did.

I found out the employee was in fact the "big boss". His name is Todd. Todd you are a jerk.

Ohhh, my favorite! !!
Nice place for companies or family leisure time! !

Overall a good experience. A lot of people smoke outside of their cars during the movies even though no smoking is allowed though.

Terrible service at concession stand. Fries came out stale. Asked for a new batch and had the cook in the back stare me down. At least 8 employees hanging out in the back just talking with each other while the line for ordering and the line for people ordering grew. Missed out on 20mins of my movie.

Fantastic. Watching a movie the right way if you ask me. No need to worry about people talking too much during the movie, the snack bar is great, and the sound quality is as good as the speaker in your car. Comfortable due to being in your own vehicle, tons of room for everyone to enjoy. Definitely something you should do each summer when given the opportunity.

Beautiful place. Came with my friend as first comers and we both thought it was a great experience. We are definitely coming back to ONE of the theatres. 5 Drive in was easy to setup and navigate. Since its further than another one that we saw, then we will try and go there after. But other than that, great place , no issues. AHH but the other customers, most of them dont read the rules, try not to get frustrated.

It was the most fun I've had in a long time! My girls and I will be returning again soon.

Top notch drive-in. Not many of these left, so go support it. They even do quad-features!

We went there on a Thursday, it was quite and no more than 20 cars. The quality of picture was just ok and I didn't like the sound at all. Services were good, food was ok. I was there for the movie, my rating would be 5 Star if even the movie experience was good. It was only a three star for me.

Great experience! My first time attending a drive-in theater came during the COVID-19 pandemic haha. However it was a simple and straight forward experience. Purchasing tickets online was simple and they simply verify the barcode at the entrance to let you in. I'd suggest getting there roughly an hour or more earlier than your showtime to get a good spot. I was there over an hour earlier and there was a decent number of vehicles already there. I can't speak to the concessions as they were closed during the pandemic. Highly recommended for a date or family night!

Such a cute and romantic date idea! I also love a good "old style" diner, which their snack bar totally cut it.

What a joke! Figure out your capacity and inform your customers before making them wait an extended period of time in a never-ending line. The customer service was absolutely atrocious. It s no wonder why people would rather steam movies at home.

I bought fries... Asked for ketchup and they gave me 1 pack... When I asked for more they said they only had 3 left...... LOOOOL this seems like a necessary condiment for half the menu plus what the heck is one pack of ketchup going to do

A bit of nostalgia and they definitely have some good deals, unfortunately the facilities aren't too well-kept. I went last night and only one of the toilets in the women's washroom flushed. I know a place like this probably struggles with people bringing in their own food as opposed to buying from the concession, but I kind of understand how buying food from somewhere where the bathrooms are so poorly maintained would be off-putting. That being said, I wouldn't mind going again, but I will probably hold off on drinking anything to avoid the bathroom

very busy, so get there 1 1/2 to 2 hours before movie starts to get the best spots. movie quality waa great, really enjoyed the night out.

5 Drive in is a great little escape. Not only is it a fun date idea but also great for a solo date to spend time with yourself. The staff is always super friendly and the mini snack diner is such a cute idea. They could probably stand to update it a but other than that, its always a great time and super affordable!

My partner and I had an amazing time here. We will definitely be going again.

Great movies, great food, great experience every time.

I am very disappointed with my experience with the staff at this location. The staff (specifically Ethan) were very disrespectful to us and shouted and cursed at us, ordering us to move to a different spot or they would call the police. We were moved multiple times, and ended up at the very back where we could no longer see. I did not enjoy my time at all. I will be contacting management as well and demanding a refund. Save your money and don't come here!

Movie quality and selection is great. Food is really good, try the deep fried pickles. The sound could be a little bit louder coming from the outdoor speakers when parked at the back.

Love this place have been going there for years ..great night out and good value..two movies for the price of one and sometimes three on long weekends or other holidays

It's so fun to go here with friends or family and watch a couple movies. I've been going for as long as I can remember and it's still a great place to go

Pretty neat experience for about $12/ea. You are "discouraged" to bring outside food and beverages *hint hint*, but be reasonable and responsible please. Also, some folks are not very respectful of others trying to watch, so they'll blast their headlights at the screen of drive around mid movie -- just a heads up.

You listen to the audio by tuning into a specific FM radio station. You can use your car but will need to keep the car on. You can alternatively bring a speaker with radio capabilities, along with some camping chairs and snacks to enjoy the movie outside.

Lovely location to host drive ins. Really valuable for the price paid.

Typical Drive In experience. Need to do something about the way to get in though.. traffic on the street is insane.

It's a nice summer night activity. However they need to clean and stock the washrooms as it's quite filthy.

Doesn't quite get dark due to light pollution but still a very solid movie experience

Me and my family enjoyed the fact that we can chill in the car and watch a movie. I didn't have to worry about my son being too noisy for other people because we were in the car. Best part was I could put back my seat and not have to worry about any one else behind me(in cineplex you cant do that really) .
The movies that are being played are good too and the price is fair.

Washrooms our really gross, walk with your toilet paper it runs out quickly, aspecailly if you are watching 2 or 3 movies at a time

The screen is big enough to see from any lane you choose

Security drives around to much with there lights on kind of annoying an distracting, its mostly for your saftey but not ever 5min

Great movie experience for families! Plus you get to see 2 movies for the price of admission! Just be sure to bring some bug spray if you plan on sitting outside or keeping your windows open.

This is a good place for enjoying time price value and the helping staff.

Went during covid19. This is a great option for new movies to watch. Cars are all respected and clean to park at.

Washrooms are well maintained with staff on duty to keep count of goers to manage the social distance rule.

Love the drive in movie vibes.

Come equipped with bug spray, flashlights, and blankets.

Covid or No covid...

Washrooms are same as after hours club washrooms...or worse.

Food is of course fast Food but I thought fastfood has its own quality level. In this case, mcdonalds is 5 star restaurant comparing here.

Staff..ok. they are very understanding.

Parking lot... its big but screen is not big enough for the whole parking lot and can't see it evrry angle.

Suggestions....try it when the weather is nice.

My husband and I went to the drive-in for a date night and we loved the entire experience! We were able to watch the movies from the comfort of our car with our own temperature and volume controls. The washrooms were also clean.
One thing I would recommend is to have booster cables when you go. Our car battery died near the end of the third movie and we saw several other vehicles with the same issue.

Love going to the drive in. Great value 2 feature films for the price of 1 at the theater and you can sit on a comfy camp chair. There are a few short coming like the washrooms could use a little work as there is normally a few stalls that dont lock and no soap to wash your hands. The people that work there need to in force rules like big vehicles park at the back. You must show up at minimum a hour and a half before the shown is going to start to make sure you get a spot.

Interesting concept. Enjoyed movie as it was different. Employees at the entrance aren t friendly at all. Bathrooms are also very dirty and some don t have locks.

Amazing!!! Love drive ins, this place gives you a nice classic feel. It's so much fun just watching the movies from your car!
