There aren t enough words to express how I feel about this place. The retro vibes and overall cool experience is so amazing. This is the best place for a date night or even just hanging out with friends. It s an unforgettable experience. Also, the food at the concession stand is all so delicious.

Great

Up to about 15 minutes before show time, social distancing rules were STRICTLY enforced, by theatre staff. Every in. Staff would drive by in a golf cart and tell patrons to stay inside their vehicles and/or not to park 2 vehicles between posts. However, that all stopped about 15min. before showtime and ALL rules went out the window. Staff were NOWHERE to ne seen. Patrons parked WHEREVER they wanted, with complete impunity. As the movies were showing, STANDARD drive-in rules were mo longer enforced either, such as turning headlights on for extended periods of time. Overall though, I was happy to be able to fet back to the 5 Drive-in and am looking forward to the next all nighter (depending on what's showing)!,

Love this place, its a great family night out. The washrooms could be better, but hey can't be perfect. They always have the newest movies and thats what its all about. Love the dog park. Highly recommended.

Go early if you want a good spot, washrooms are very dirty and not kept clean throughout the night so the longer you are there the dirtier the washrooms get. Overall it is a fun experience especially with kids and friends.

Been here about 3-4 times. Generally everything is ok. Decent variety of refreshments. However I got a burger once with no toppings, which was unpleasant.
One staff in particular was noticeably miserable and made sure to demonstrate her annoyance at me paying for tickets of passengers in other cars, which you're apparently not allowed to do because it messes up their car count? She also spoke to my father disrespectfully when he asked where to find other washrooms since the ones we tried were closed.
Customer service highly impacted our last visit. Avoid talking to staff and you'll probably have a great time.

1 of the very few Drive in Movie Lots in the GTA. They get most of the things right. 3 screens, 2 movies per screen, 2 out of 3 screens has a playground (for the kids) a washroom & concession stand. I gave them a 4 because the line up for food is always long and slow (a snack kart does go around for your convenience) & last, the washrooms are gross (toilet paper is always out after the 1st movie and no one fills them up) Food is pricey & understandable at all movie theatres, but considering the quality, it is pricey.

Went to a the drive in for the first time. Was a pleasant experience, the audio you tune into with your radio is super clear and I really enjoyed watching three movies from the comfort of my truck. The only thing I can say they can improve on is there food, beside the popcorn the other food I got was terrible.

Went there to catch some flicks tonight and we won the Toyota VIP experience! They gave us free food from the diner menu and tonnes of Toyota swag. We also got to sit in the VIP section which was a red carpet affair outfitted with sculpture topiary, Muskoka chairs and bean bag beds! Amazing!

Awesome fun! If the weather is nice (or if you bring a blanket) this place is a pretty damn good place to watch a movie. Fun alternative to a theatre, decent concession stand, and movie options. Only issue - the only bathroom that was open was at the concession so you miss a good chunk of the movie if you're at the screen furthest from it.

We love the drive in. The staff is friendly and helpful. The only complaint I have is that it's not smoke free. We have small children and the last time we were there the family smoked nonstop.

Update (2020-11-003): Lowering my rating to 4 stars. Our ticket from last weekend had Ghostbusters but they played a different movie instead and started half an hour late.

Original review:
It was a unique experience, can't wait for it to reopen in spring!

I would highly recommend bringing your own portable FM radio (audio was very clear btw), so you don't have to keep your car running throughout the movie.

First the good, prices are great. 2 films for $12 is a good deal whatever way you look at it
You can avoid annoying 3D films.
The screens are big enough that wherever you park you get a great view.
Now the bad, they rarely open both concession stands and washroom areas even on busy nights which is very bad for business also no facilities, not even a port a potty on screen 3. So you can miss a sizable part of a film if you need to use the bathroom or grab a snack.
The lineups at the entrance and screen 1 concession stand are ridiculous and the fountain drinks are often flat and taste skunky.
The main washrooms are terrible. The mens room often has two of the three stalls out of order, the doors are broken and the stench from the septic tank is overwhelming. The taps need to be changed since they have a spring which prevents them from staying on so you can wash your hands and their are only 2 blow dryers that are barely working and no paper towel dispensers.

Went there this past weekend and it was the worst. Over packed so bad people had to park in bushes. Everyone in my row cpuld barely see the screen and a bunch of people where partying and the staff wouldnt so anything about it. I couldnt watch the movie nor hear it over people yelling and screaming. We ended up leaving before the 2nd movie started. I will not be coming back. They also made everyone come all the way to the gate after waiting 20 to 30 min in line before they finally told them one of the screens was full. When asked why they didnt put a sign out front to warn people they said they dont have time or man power. I wonder where the man power was because it sure wasnt trying to make sure that the people watching was safe and that people where not being ignorant and disturbing everyone. Even when we tried to leave people where parking the road to get out and we didnt see one staff member to controll the parking. Even when we paid for our tickets we got rude service. We didnt hear what the lady had said and ahe yelled it at us instead and was ruse to the girl working in the booth with her. This was the first booth on the left. I would recommend anyone to go there waste of money. Even the concession cart would only got the firat two rows thats it. So many people left that night. Poor experience. They can not control the area what so ever.

Its more fun watching a movie from a car then sitting in a theater .
Things to bring here with car are: (if plan to sit outside or open hatch)
1. Camping Chairs
2. Blankets (gets cold unless its way too hot)
3. Snacks (no one check for outside food )
4. Car jumper cables( if for got to start car while listening to connected radio)
Get early if want a good spot.
Overall, Comfort fully loaded...!!!

BADDDDDD EXPERIENCE OUR VEHICLE WAS SCRATCH BECAUSE NO SIGN FOR OVERSIZE VEHICLE, WE WEREN'T PROPERLY INSTRUCT WHICH LANE TO GO THROUGH..

BAD MGR IN CHARGE NAME "CORA" WHO WAS DISRESPECTFUL AND UNFIT FOR HER POSITION..

I JUST WISH PEOPLE WERE TRAINED PROPERLY FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ESPECIALLY THAT MGR NAME "CORA"..

WE HAD TO CALL THE POLICE FOR HER TO COME N SPEAK N RESOLVE THE ISSUE, WHICH LEFT US VERY DISSAPOINTED.

Great place to enjoy the movie . Plan to go a bit early than the screen time as there is a huge line of cars waiting to enter in. It takes a bit of time to settle in . You will be shared with a fm frequency to enjoy the movie s sound. In this pandemic situation this place was secure as you could stay inside your car and watch the movies .

Also there is enough space between you and your neighbors.

Make sure you turn your car lights off and don t make any noise as others could enjoy the movie as well .

Going forward , I would be visiting this place often and would be suggesting it to my friends as well .

I ve been coming here for years. My only issue is that they need to find a way to make better the visibility in the summer time for the earlier and sometimes the first half of the later show.

Even with the price increases (which were due) it s still a fair price.

Poop

Fun experience, especially if you want something a little different. Glad drive-in theaters are still around. Real easy to get to and nice open air. Lots of space if you get there in good time.

What a cool experience!!! Don't go on a weekend it will be impossible to get in! So many cars in line and people cutting in, it'll ruin your night.

Go during the week, they play the same movies and less people.

Can listen using your car, they give you the radio station when you get there. May have to turn your car on /off once or twice for the battery

Fun location and set up. Only negatives is that they only ever have one snack shack open. I dont care so much for the shack itself but the washrooms. You have to walk infront of everyone watching their movie on 3 different screens to get to one. Also staff should control the behaviours of other customers. Kids shouldnt have to be breathing in the smell of weed. Its just not right, but i get that this isnt the staffs fault.

You hope spots like this stay open forever but they're getting a little outdated. The washroom needs updating. It smelt like pee even just standing outside of it. Regardless, watching three films under the stars for a low price can't be beat!

You pay for 3 features which is really cool. We could only last through 2 movies because we had already had a long day. Very nice drive in and laid back. Food is available for purchase. Bathrooms available at every screen.

Entrance is retarded. I waited 50 min to get in. There are only 2 lanes in for all the cars. Movie was fine. But the venue is terrible and whoever designed the entrance should be fired.
