Been here a few times this past summer, and it is so fun and clean. Kinda wish people weren’t smoking so much weed at kids movies but whatever… The staff was so helpful when I had a question and even offered to call me back if they were wrong. I highly recommend it if you have kids and want to let them be kids while watching a movie.
I LOVE visiting this drive-in! So affordable and such a cool experience. They show new movies and theme them by the time of year as well. There is a super cute put-put golf area attached to the Leeds Mall, and some restaurants. I will say the restaurant area needs a lot of work. It was super disorganized and our food was quoted to take 10 minutes when it really took 35 so we missed the first bit of our movie. We still had a good time, but we will try something else to eat instead. Be aware that there are no speakers and the audio plays through your car radio so don’t let your car battery die!
I haven't been to a drive-in for around 25-30 years, came during my birthday weekend, tried seeing the Barbie/Meg 2 double feature and have been hearing Blue Beetle & Equalizer 3 over the Barbie movie the entire time, I haven't been able to hear any of the Barbie movie, all three movies have been overlapping since the start. Blue Beetle has been the loudest and that is the screen I have been the furthest from. I was tuned to the station I was directed to tune to; 93.1 the whole time, it has just made it a very unpleasant experience.
Editing to admit, this was my fault, I messed up with my station in my car. I of course read the station number off the slip I received at the box office and knew it said 93.1, and thought I had my station set to 93.1, but during the last 10-15 minutes of Barbie, I started just scanning stations, and got to a station where I could hear Margot's voice without any other interruptions and the dial said 93.1, that's when I noticed the station I had it on previously and saved when I first set my FM station was on 91.3, so am so sorry, for the misunderstanding. I have updated my review. I was able to watch the entire Meg 2 movie and it was excellent and an awesome experience! I'm excited to visit again soon! Going to the drive-in used to be a frequent part of growing up in Indiana, and going to the drive-in for the first time in so long really brought back those nostalgic feelings! The young lady working the Snack Shack was the sweetest, she had offered me a raincheck which after I realized the mistake I had made, I took it back to her cause I felt bad for me being the idiot. I still find it curious, that even after I realized I had transposed the channel numbers that I wasn't just hearing the movie assigned to that station, but was hearing all 3 movies. I have a brand new 2023 RAV4 that I just purchased on August 11, and I don't listen to the radio, I only use my Audible or Pandora on it, so it took me a second to even change the radio without having a normal radio dial to use.
This place is top notch! The drive in movie experience here is second to none. My family and I love coming here. It’s spacious, the food is good, there is more to do than just watch the movies. You get 2 for the price of one with the movies. There’s mini golf and other things that the kids can do here. The lot stays nice and smooth and there are garbage cans everywhere. If you have never tried the drive in you would love it! Highly recommended!!!
