5 Drive In Reviews

Great job by the staff making sure a much larger vehicle parks right in front so I can't watch the movie especially since we are on screen 3 tell me why I paged to not watch a move

Have no idea how to advertise movie times. If everything advertised says movies are playing in a specific order do not tell people at the ticket kiosk that they are different. MAKE YOUR MOVIE TIMES MATCH YOUR ADVERTISING. ITS NOT HARD!!!!

what a deal: three movies for the price of one.

plus full vip recline in car.
priceless.

This place will always get a solid 5 stars from me. About 15 years ago this place was under different management, struggling and about to go under. We were at risk of losing one of our only local Drive in theatres. Locally they had a sudden and expensive renovation and now the place is amazing and they keep adding new upgrades. There is a new concession, new playgrounds, a volleyball court. And they haven't raised that price from $12 for two movies in a long time :) more private and cozy and yet cheaper than a movie theatre!

We love going to the drive-in. The best way to watch movies.

Great fun for all
Movies under the stars
Staff is friendly and available to help with any situation

Classic drive in, $12 per person with Tuesday and Thursday specials. Highly recommend

First time went to a drive in so it was quite an adventure. The screen is not very good for darker scenes. Based on previous reviews we tried to avoid the food station or use the washroom, so overall the experience was not bad. However, at the end of the movie, our car battery ran out, seemingly a quite common mistake for first-time viewers. Though someone told us that the staff will definitely have tools to help us recharge, but we couldn't seem to find anybody working atm. All the stations were empty. Luckily people who watch movies there are very nice. More than one person offered to help. Thank you all!! Lesson for first-time viewers, watch out for your battery! This is still a place worth going for the experience.

Great company! I booked my ticket by accident for the wrong day, but they quickly responded and allowed me to use the ticket for the following day.

Great venue for watching a movie outdoors. Get there early as lineups to enter can get long. Showed up at 8:30 for a 9:30 movie, only got in at 9:10pm

3 different screens outside. Lots of people . Go early for best spots .. or enjoy what you get. Good place to bring kids for a movie outside.

That short kid in kitchen need to turn off the racist and vulgar music in the consession I can t even bring my kids to get some damn popcorn would not recommend this place worst experience ever

No clear identification for the 3 cinemas. Parking not adhered to. Fun. Would go again.

Four movies in one night. 3.screens - after 1st movie one snack bar closed. Second snack bar running out of items and closing up during start of second movie. No bins to put garbage prior to leaving. Drop on ground or bring home? Movies were good. Site good.

the worst service ever in the history of customer service. this place has been around the 50's and ill guarantee the original owners would go nuts if they found out the attitude these people have. it a shame Drive in's are a dying breed. go to cherry street drive in.

come here on tues or thurs for the deals. concession stand is run down. told that they didnt have this and they didnt have that and food looked old as well. didnt taste too good either. if food is such low quality, the prices shouldnt be so expensive as if it is a clean movie theatre.

I love that this place is still around, not too many drive ins left. This place is great, of course just go early so you get a good spot.

helLlo, it was quite good generally for what it is. I do really like how we hear the sound through our vehicle speakers and have it as loud as we want. The lines for the snack bar though were farrr too long for sure! I went to order before the end of the 1st movie because they play 2 movies nightly and then the line was not bad. I do luuuv the koOol bright colorful neon sign & I had a blast there!

It is the best! One of the only real drive ins left. Located in Oakville near Mississauga border . They offer two movies per one ticket price. recomended you check what time the movie want to see is and at what screen it is playing on. The bigger screens are more preffable and I think and there is no moving your car to a diffrent screen once parked. Three screen in total (i think). Two small one large.

On their webpage you are asked not to bring your own food and while I initially thought that was a fair request, my advice to you is to bring your own food cuz the owner is either too stupid or too greedy to staff his snack bar - 4 people to serve hundreds of movie-goers!

If you want to stand in line for 45 minutes to an hour to overpay for some snacks then have at 'er but I will never find myself in that situation again - I'll be bringing my own food for the sake of my own mental health!

Great place for a night out with a newborn/baby. You don't have to worry about disrupting others with baby coos and cries by just rolling up the window.

We have been going to #The5Drivein for over 25 years. We've always had the greatest time! Now we go with our #Grandchildren !!! We laughed out loud at the movie last night...Its such a #Wonderful time always!!

Great value, plus you can bring the dog! Big playground to let the kiddos burn some energy before the show.

It's usually crowded especially when they have fresh releases! But it's a good place to enjoyed with loved ones

Too much light pollution for me personally but over a great place for a family night out

While visiting Ontario for a wedding, we took the kids to the drive in for the first time. We go there early, but ran into a problem when we didn't have Canadian currency. They don't take American dollars or credit cards. Fortunately, we were there with another family and they gave us the cash to pay the $17 for the carload.

It was a good time, audio reception was fine. Only problem I found was the open hatches of the cars ahead of us...some vans go a little high and blocks parts of the screen.

We had a great time. It was a lot of fun watching vintage movies. It was a blast from the past.

First time going to a drive in theater and I was impressed! Although the line up to get in can be long, it moves fairly fast. Would definitely recommend getting there by 8:45/9 for a 9:30 show. Staff was friendly. There are pillars indicating where to park and each spot is very spacious. Regardless of parking further back our view was not obstructed and we were able to hear the audio clearly by tuning into the radio station. The bathrooms were fairly clean, although the sinks did not have touchless taps they had sanitizer and napkins.
I would definitely go back again as it was a fun experience!

Cashier name Amanda was super rude and shouldn't be in front line dealing with customer. Bad for business. Will never go back cause of her awful service.

It was a good night, the weather was perfect. No mosquitoes sand the movies we're good.
Didn't use the facilities so can't comment on that but i know they had several portopoties., Coming in and out of the drive in was quick.

Awesome drive-in. Perfect date night or night out with friends. Good prices, and good selection of snacks.

We visit this place every year as always great experience especially with the kids.

I had an amazing experience here!! It's a bit far if you leave in Toronto but worths the experience. All the films are recent and screen is big and a bit high so it won't be blocked by cars in front of you. We opened the hatch and had blankets and pillows and simply enjoyed watching the movies.

Great place to see a movie. The prices could be lower considering there is very little needed to serve the facility (besides staffing the ticket gate, and the concessions). Also, it would be helpful if they enforced the small cars in the front, large trucks/SUV's in the back rule; it gets hard to angle yourself right so you can see over them otherwise. The bathrooms are pretty clean, but not perfect. I few times I've gone in and everything seems to be soaking wet... how? I would recommend the two larger screens - I am not a fan of the smallest one (The lot is small and it seems a little underwhelming). Also, a friendly tip if you are going with people who are shy to others fooling around in their car... avoid the very back of the lots. Often cars/vans will park there with sheets in the windows and the vehicle will be rocking around haha. Other than those points, great helpful staff as well as tasty food! The poutine and blue slushie is delicious!!! The volume for the outside speakers is great - you can hear it over the other two screens and often the movies are paired together perfectly! We're here all the time - it's always a great night out!

Absolutely ridiculous. Refused to allow me to park anywhere but the last two rows. They were full, so they said "park right in front of the screen or along the hedges". Right in front of the screen its impossible to see from inside your car, and along the hedges up front it's just as bad.

They refused to give me a refund. They then told me I could sit at the wood benches in front of the screens outside my car. How the hell am I going to hear the movies?

I was fine where I originally was, I checked with those behind me to see if they could see, and they were fine. What a laughable excuse for a drive in.

Nice experience as 1st time while some amenities need maintenance and more attention.

I love it! Some nights get really busy so you need to get there early. Really fun experience!

Always a great evening under the stars. Tons of parking in theatres, awesome concession stand with clean washrooms. Been coming here for years with friends and family and hope to continue the tradition with our kids in the future

First time we went there with kids and the kids enjoyed the play area and the movie.

The downside is the outdated and dirty washroom. Some people were also smoking cigarettes during the movie. I approached a man & a woman to stop smoking because we can smell the smoke in our car. They also have kids with them but they still doing it.

Another concern is you can smell that someone was smoking cannabis around the kids play area and during the movie as well.

There's no staff patrolling or checking the area that's why some people there will do what they want to do.

Creepy bathrooms . Very salty n stale Popcorn but Great fun movie experience & Best poutine in town!

Amazing drive in. I always love going to watch movies here because it's well priced and they usually play great movies! I'm especially impressed by the health and safety measures they've taken post-covid to ensure everyone's well being (I.e. parking 4m apart)

The volume at all screens are so low it's impossible to hear anything no matter how close infront you sit.

Also I'm not sure if it's all three screens but screen #3's radio station is horrible, you can barely hear the movie!!! Please get it fixed, it's pointless to watch a film you can't hear.

Great experience but the speakers from their biggest theatre was overpowering at times. Maybe pick to play the quieter less action movies there?

Bathrooms could be improved but otherwise always a great experience. The "strictly enforced" no outside food or drink rule is hardly enforced

It's an alright movie experience, but unfortunately the snack bar Is awfully dirty and most of the toilets are not functionally for most of the experience!

love going here! 2 movies to play at each of the 3 jumbo screens, and snack carts driving around all night hehe :) besides the long bathroom lineups, this place is pretty sweet

I recommend you go, whether with the kids and family, on a date, with friends, heck even alone :P

They like to lock all the bathrooms after the first movie an then you dont get to see the second movie cuz you have to leave to find a bathroom elsewhere and cant buy snacks and refreshments after the first movie

Grew up going here, love it! The bathrooms are a bit gross though.

Great way to spend a night after a long week at work. Kids love it!

It wasn't the best experience. We parked in a spot that had no sign that it were a no parking zone and we were informed by an employee that drove around in a cart. There were many inconsiderate people that left their lights on and which made it difficult to enjoy the movie and no employees to give them a warning. That should be a service they provide at the drive in especially considering they're quick to find customers in "no parking zones".

Great service.. Friendly staff.. Clear pictures on screen

Go early, the line is very very long if you arrive on time.

I have been going to the drive-in since 1976 and still loving it.
I am so glad this drive in is still in business for the community.

Our family go to the movies every Tue or Thu and those weekends that we can't go to the boat we would head out to the drive-in.

Their concession serve all kinds of goodies. The line ups in the summer time may not be that great but it is worth the hassle.

Their staffs are courteous and helpful especially Brooke. Have seen numerous cars been boosted by the staffs when the battery died.

I hope they stick around for a long time.

We went to the drive-in yesterday for 2 features "Venom" & "The Search". This was our first time trying to watch movies at the drive-in in foggy conditions. We couldn't see the picture clear on the screen and ended up leaving 30min or so into the movie. What a waste of $26.
We've watched in rain and windy conditions but never in the fog. Patrons be aware there is no return no matter how bad the weather is.

In the Fall and Winter is incredibly nice to be at the drive-in, no line ups and you can pick and choose where you want to park your car easily.

Had an amazing time with my family, we watched back to back movies and had a blast! Would highly recommend going At least 25+ min early to get a good spot, the concession stand was really helpful for some quick snacks, I had the cheeses fried and it tasted so good! Would recommend! I would also love to go again to watch the double movies, great staff, great service, helpful.

Good to watch movie in the summer within privacy of your car and not having to hear other people eat, talk etc . I try to go every summer a couple times even though it is a far drive out. Can't review the cafeteria as never patronized it. Overall a good drive in theatre experience

It was a really good experiences. Saw someone's car get hit.

This place is huge. It is a dirt lot so keep that in mind. Bathrooms, usual movie food.

Great quality picture here. I was very surprised at how good the experience was!

Love this place!! Need to get there more often in the summer!

Always a good time! Not recommended for dark movie's

This place is great for movies! Always lots of parking available, the ppl are courteous, and the experience fantastic... I would recommend this for dates mostly, as a group watching from a car gets a little crowded...

It would have been a 5 star if they did not allow smoking.... my kids and i was disturbed by 2nd hand smoke, we changed our spots and still were next to other people who smoked...

Sold me a ticket then kicked me out 2 minutes later because my "truck is too tall". I drive a lowered station wagon . My roof was literally at this dude's chest . My girlfriend and I drove 2 hours to come here after both of us had not gone to the drive in since we were kids.
Staff does not communicate with eachother and doesn't seem to know what is going on or what they are supposed to be doing. We will not be returning to this theatre. Worst drive in experience of my life .

the lady at the snack bar at screen 3 was extremely rude. (nov 2nd). our car battery died and we went to go ask when the guy was coming around and she was super snarky and rude. also the washroom had no water???? toilet wouldn t flush and there was no water to wash our hands. seems like the whole place is just run by teenagers

Love the drive in movies brings back childhood memories

Love this place. Always a good time. Triple features on long weekends. Cheap Tuesdays (half price tickets) and Thursdays (carload flat rate). Just avoid screen 3, small and when I saw it didn't have a bathroom so you had to go to screen 1 or 2's bathroom so you miss out on more of the movie. Hopefully that will be fixed.

Wow. Drove about 45 minutes out to have my first drive-in experience with my girl and it was everything I expected it to be! Tuning in to the movie fm channel was seamless and the sound quality was as great as my car speakers could render.

The retro theme really adds a charm to the whole establishment that everyone can appreciate. The food is real overpriced as expected with any theatre concession so if you decide to bring your own things, please be considerate and put your trash away with the complimentary mess bag they give you.

Drive-ins are not without flaw however and you will run into issues that are no fault of the theatre itself, the rare headlight flickering on the screen from watchers and people moving in and out of their cars may detract from the immersion but the experience will still be great.

A premium seat that reclines, your own drinks, food and maybe even a warm blanket with pillows? Yeah, I'll definitely be coming back!

Love this place! Every time I come here it's well worth it. The only issue is people who are inconsiderate and keep their lights on. Aside from that the sound and picture quality are spot on! Great for a date night, friend/family outing

Great way to spend good time with family and kids. Screen 1 is awesome. Thursdays carload is best value.

Long queues on the road could be avoided if they had opened more check-in counters. Only 2 of 4 were active. Reach at least 30 mins early to find a good spot.
