5 Drive In Reviews

What a trip down memory lane. This is a cool place to watch a movie triple feature I the fall for 10$ unbeatable. Must visit

Really clean and well maintained movie theater, bathrooms are smelly and a bit to be desired for however the concessions arent too over priced amd paying 15 bucks to see 3 movies is a great deal. Bring a booster pack for your car though because often people run their cars till theyre dead but if you dont have one the staff have one on hand and can jump start you amd have you on your way.

Great for families: 3 screens to choose from with a playground at Screen 1.
New releases with double features, well stocked canteen, decent washrooms nostalgic of the 80s.

First time coming, it was a really good first time experience, the movies we watched were really good too. Come early to get a nice spot. Roughly 15 minutes prior. Washrooms are clean and smell nice, didn't have any of the food they offered but they have.

1. Terrible customer service.
2. No refunds or vouchers offered if there is a problem with the film (my experience this evening when the projection was so dim you could hardly see anything)
3. Not the best place to go as the weather is getting colder (it's not possible to run heaters on most cars and have the lights remain off)
4. Very little oversight from workers (people's lights remained on flooding the screen, people parked where they were not supposed to, etc).

Overall, it's just nicer to watch a movie at home and stay cozy! Until this place is run better, I'm not going back!

Busy place make sure u go early but overall what's better than a perfect night outside watching movies ..

First time going to a drive in and it was a lot of fun! Definitely going here again, but also bringing mosquito repellent

The drive in itself was good, even though it rained we were still able to enjoy the movies. Walked over to the diner during intermission to grab some food; great selection of hot food and snacks/candies. Bathrooms were also clean for the most part. Could use better signage for where things are as there are 2 sides to the theatre with different amenities.

If it wasn't for the poor customer service; I'd rate the drive-in 4.5 stars.

About 1 hour into the first movie the car battery died and we weren't able to hear the movie. Naturally, we called the main phone line for the drive in hoping they could offer a solution (portable radio/radio app or jumpstart). We spoke with Cora; who was cold and rude about the whole thing; she told us to wait until the end of the movie for a jump or we can call a tow truck but they won't be let in until the end of the movie either as it would disturb the other viewers.

She then hung up while I was asking a question about this. So we called back and asked if we'd get anything back for the first movie; she just kept rudely repeating, and even laughed between her words, that we'd have to wait and our ticket is non-refundable. Honestly, had she just apologized for the inconvenience or offered us something while we waited, we wouldn't have been as upset. But we were expected to sit and watch the movie with no sound for the remaining hour and a half? Ridiculous.

So we took it upon ourselves to go out in the cold rain and ask the car next to us for a boost. Luckily, they were kind enough to help us out and miss a few minutes of the movie themselves.

The funny part is; about a half hour into the second movie, we saw 2 guys walking around with jumper cables looking for our car and 10 minutes after that, a tow truck rolled through looking for someone who had called for a boost. They drove through the entire lot with their high beams on blinding everyone watching. We thought they wouldn't be allowed in during the movie?

Double Feature: Tenet & Annabelle (2014)
Date: Oct 19, 2020

Get a truck back it up and jump in with sleeping bags and enjoy the movie and the weather. Love this drive ins

I politely asked if we could switch our tickets for the next day, if not get a refund as it s going to be POURING rain. Rather than offering an alternative or being polite, Janette was extremely rude. If you look at your ticket, it says all sales are final. Excuse me, but I purchased our tickets online & our ticket says nothing about all sales being final. Basically she said tough luck, we ve got your money already so deal with it. Thanks for your terrible customer service experience. Unfortunate, because I loved going to this Drive in as a teenager.

They don't take debit or credit cards despite their website saying that they are accepted. We paid cash for entry and then had nothing left for snacks.

Washrooms are disgusting, and often left without toilet paper.

Fun place to catch a movie. Great prices and movie selections.

It is so nice to see a drive in theatre still around. The 5 drive in holds a special place in out hearts because I proposed to my wife in 2013 during a movie since it was our weekly thing to always go to the drive in. If you go on Thursdays when you only pay $20 for car load it s such a great deal. The prices for food are not bad (recommended doing combos for added savings). We recently took our 5yr old with us for the first time and she loved it! The only negative is that during the not so busy season (after summer and school is back), they close the washrooms (only 2 located on property, one in main screen 1, second in screen 2) close screen 2 washrooms which makes no sense to make people walk all the way to screen 1 especially if they are kids and it s dark out. They have 2 concession stands (again screen 1 and 2) but 2 is closed during not busy seasons as well.

During the holiday long weekends they play 3 movies in all 3 screens which is great as well (sometimes the play 4movies). Even getting 2 movies for the price is great compared to these big box theaters. The admissions booth and concession stands accept debit, credit and cash which is super convenient now.

Over all it s a fun place to go with the family and watch movies in the privacy of your car or bring a chair and sit outside and enjoy the air with the stars.

***Defiantly and highly recommended***

We a absolutely love this Drive In.....a rare commodity in this day and age. The kids (teens and young adults) love it too. Too bad we don't gave more Drive In theatres! !

Great set up (especially during the pandemic) with 3 different screens. Good selection of older and newer movies.

Great place to watch movies with the family in the car

The customer service is terrible here. The staff are rude and dismissive when you ask a question.

Just don't like the huge line up with only one person working at the entrance

I went there as part of the Tesla Drive in event. Believe it or not, it was my first drive in experience. I have it in movies and loved the 50s and 60s drive in scenes and this experience was like living the movie scenes. The movies itself were not that great but the experience was.

Love the drive in! For the price you get 2 sometimes 3 movies and the comfort of your own vehicle. You just tune into the radio station they tell you and you can watch in your car, or grab some chairs and sit outside.

The line for food is usually long and it is overpriced just like a theatre, but you can always head in early to avoid lines and get a good spot. And they also don't check your car for outside food, just saying.

Trucks and bigger cars are supposed to take up the back rows.. but sometimes people don't listen and that sucks. Or they'll pop the back and the door will be in your way. But usually you'll just be able to move your car to find a better spot. Another part that sucks is that the bathrooms for one of the screens is always closed.. so you have to walk to the other screen and depending where you park that can be a trek.

What a gem. Loved everything about it. Tons of fun for the family movie night.

Visited during the summer time and was fun. It was crowded and difficult to find a spot. I believe it s more about the experience then actually watching the movie. Not many drive in places so options are limited.

Amazing place to skip after a busy crazy working week. Perfect for summer and warm nights, I wouldn't imagine suitable in winter. Sometimes it gets crowdy and filled with cars quickly especially for new movies on the first day of the show, so always spare yourself at least 30-45 mins to get the right spot. Classic commercials that send you back to 60s or 70s. For smokers, it is a good news, you can smoke there in your car while watching. Very entertaining and relaxing, stretch your car seat and set back with your snacks. The only criticism or con is some of impolite and inconsiderate people use their dims and high beam, either purposely or not that can ruin your movie, I hope there will be some staff monitoring screens to avoid any discomfort while watching movie, thats why I gave 4 stars, otherwise, I would have rated as 5 stars! Highly recommended !

One of the best drive-in theatres I've been to. Haven't been in a while, recently viewed a movie. Can't believe how much I enjoyed my movie.

Always enjoy coming here, just wish people would stop putting their hatch up in front of smaller vehicles.

We always love coming here for a wonderful outdoor experience. The movies are great to watch with family. I wish I could give 5 stars but my only complaint was the washrooms, they need to be cleaned more and updated.

Just here to share some info, because the website doesn't. THERE ARE 2 OPTIONS TO PURCHASE TICKETS! BUT, read this first:
purchase your ticket online regardless while its an option. If it shows sold out on line, you will not be able to purchase at the box office
they will allow box office tickets to be sold after 1st movie (depending how many cars left from first movie)

Hopefully you read this before you go and don't be disappointed.

Just Like the Good 'ol Days! Love this place, well run, good food, runs on time and always a great place for a fun movie night!

Great deal with the double feature and a great experience. Wouldn't go on cold days, however.

Amazing experience. Great price on Thursdays, must try.

Great up to date movie selection. But very busy I advise arrive early to avoid disappointment

Great place for a family outing. Go early to get a good spot.

Bring your own radio. New cars radio turn off quickly cant hear the movie

Great experience and concessions were great too!! Need a better sign at night to tell people what station to tune into though if we go on when its already dark.

Always a great night watching a movie under the stars

We went to the drive in yesterday for the first time and even though the experience in itself was great, there was still a few annoyances that didn't make it a 4 or 5 star rating. Throughout the entire movie, cars kept going in and out while flashing their headlights which made it hard to watch the film on the screen. The popcorn was stale and the fries were over salted. Would we go back? Perhaps on a weekday when it's not as busy.

Kids always have a great time, great deals on Tuesday and Thursday

Lots of noise interference on the movie. Badly maintained washrooms. Expensive.

Had fun a good view to see the movies
from pretty much anywhere your car is parked.

Bathrooms are disqusting and too small. Food also needs improvement. Sound, price and screens are good.

Washrooms need cleaning but the best for movies outdoors!

Had a great time! Friendly staff, good food, and lots of space.

We love to go to the drive in as a family. The only bad part is screen 3. (First screen on the left) Vans and Trucks are supposed to be in the back so everyone can see. These rules are never followed and as an owner of a van we always go to the back. The last time we were there and watched a movie on screen 3. we made sure got there at 7:30, so we could get a good spot in the back. People were coming in last minute so the kids (staff) who drive around in the golf cart told people with vans and trucks to park ahead of us. We were not able to see the screen and felt we were penalized for actually following the rules that the drive-in enforces. We ended up leaving and asking for our money back. It is pretty neat that there is still a place like this around, we will just never go if the only movies we want to see are playing at screen 3.

Literally the best drive in in the GTA/GTHA, honestly good prices, great staff, good food and it feels like the days of old!

After an hour drive and 30 min in a line to get in, the attendant told us tickets can ONLY be purchased online and they were not allowing any more cars in.

This was not stated on the website and quite disappointing as our first time trying Oakville drive in.

Love going to the Drive-in! Some movies are just more fun seen from a vehicle parked in a field. And the food is amazing, too!

Concession and washroom closest to entrance was closed and only the other one was open therefor lineup was huge. Guess next time byo(popcorn and drinks)

Nice change of pace..different experience..and the kids loved it

One of the very few drive-ins left. Movie screens shows good definitions. Washrooms were quite a walk from our car but when we got there, it says close for the season(it was in mid October, 2017). There were no signage or any indication of washrooms visible. We were thinking of having to go into the bush but we d decided to follow the crowd who knew there were other washroom around. Unless you ve been here before otherwise you wouldn t know that there was a snack bar next to the other washroom(Management, if you want to have more revenue generated, you need to put in more signages, especially by the snacks area). Other than that, we enjoyed our experience here.

It was quite a special experience for first-timers. Be able to lay back in your own car was both cozy and private. The foods from concession stand were decent and comparable to regular theatres. The only problem was since they use radio to broadcast movie sound, there was a small delay on the audio, which had a minor impact on the viewing experience.

This place was a good drive in. The overall experience is great. There are 3 drive in cinemas, and each play different movies. There are always a lot of activities to keep you occupied till your movie begins. Washrooms aren't that good. However there is good food.

Jeanette at the box office is amazing! We had a problem with our ticket and she went out of her way to resolve it, all over the phone. Great customer service Jeanette!

Worst experience ever. Would not recommend going here. Would not let us in to our movie and "claimed" there were no spots left when we checked and there clearly was. Do not waste your time. The usher is on a power trip and doesn't understand the concept of actually counting how many spots there are and instead decides to stand in one spot like a lazy ass and takes a guess at how many there are. Please next time you hire an usher make sure he understands the basics of mathematics.

Fun experience. Great for families, especially for those with little ones that can t sit still. Awesome value, and when the later movie comes on, my kids go to sleep so me and wifey can enjoy some alone time :)

Great place for a movie. Experience is amzing. I always bring my family on their tuesday and thursday special. You get to watch movie 2 movies on one fee. Place is not the best looking but I have nothing to compare it too. The place 3 screen, food and washrooms. The washroom is not the cleaness and the food is on the expensive side. Food taste is ok, but not bad. But what is the best is the experience and you get to enjoy a movie with your family under the stars. Thenonly cons with this is that movie atart late and the first movie ends around 11pm.

Fun, relaxing and easy to navigate. Be sure to buy tickets online in advance.

Theatre 3 is way to damn dark. Can t even focus on the movie because I m staring at a black screen. INCREASE THE BRIGHTNESS!

First time at a drive in. Concession was a little slow, parking spots a little run down and uneven. Prices are reasonable though.

Awesome place to watch a movie! It was good popcorn and cozy. Best way if you have kids

Great place to see a movie! And not listen to other peoples cell phones. The kids love it.

had an awesome time! went for a triple Play on a long weekend night and enjoyed every minute of it. super reasonable price too

A safe way to see new movies, they are observing Covid protocol for their food counter and washroom access.

absolutely love this place. getting super bussier each year now...

I love this drive in but wish they had better food. Not there fault though Im kinda picky abd into healthy foods but atleast I'm able to bring food with me unlike movie theatres. 5 stars. Highly recommend

It was nice. Some cars are sometimes in & out and their headlights are bright and annoying but other than that, the movie quality is great. Fun place to bring the family and very affordable. You can watch up to 3 movies and it's not pricey at all. Way better than going to the movies. I would definitely recommend to go if you are looking to watch new movies with the family/friends and/or just to chill out. Try to get there earlier so you can secure yourself a proper spot in front of the screen. SUVs and larger vehicles will be asked to be parked at the back.

It was ok... The girls at the concession stand could have been a little friendlier.

I think your general manager (the overweight Caucasian one with the bald crack head husband) needs a raise. It seems the stress of being a low income citizen has gotten to her. I accidentally followed another car and entered through the exit. At this point I didn t know she s the manager, her husband got out the car and the situation got hostile. But why wouldn t it? A stranger who looks like crack haunts his past is approaching my vehicle, are you lost? The situation started with her getting out the car and saying it s a fu*** exit as if I, the 5 drive in professional am supposed to know. She then told the xxxtentacion wannabe of a concession stand ticket person to not let me in. What a terrible experience, and honestly I don t expect much more from trailer trash janette. Maybe cut the cigarettes and your disposable income will increase, hopefully leading to less stress and a better de-escalation ability. Just from your husbands sweater and the 2 dogs in the car I have a pretty good idea of the sewage scent that lingers in your home. Hungry-man for dinner lookin bums.

Love the Drive In..... old house dress.. no tie... don't give it a thought!

I enjoy the experience of being outdoors, combined that with a movie, and your set.

Popcorn anyone?

5 drive in has the best screens and layout I have experienced at a drive in theatre.

Very busy, ticket staff wasn t the friendliest but that didn t stop our movie

Great place to watch movies.
Very friendly staff and reasonable pricing.
One night I came late to the last show and even though they were closed, they made an exception and still sold me the tickets to the movie.
After this experience, I am surely going to recommend this movie theatre to my friends and family

Good option for drive in movie theater specially during this Covid time. Smooth entry and exit. The screens lack the brightness..I think the place needs some renovation. Also if the late comers be allocated end slots so that other viewers are not disturbed. Overall not bad option!
