"FAQ Page"

Q. I've never been to a drive-in before. What should I bring?

  • Flashlight
  • Blanket/Jacket
  • Portable chairs (if you wish to sit outside of your vehicle)
  • Portable FM radio (if you wish to sit outside of your vehicle)
  • Bug-Spray or Mosquito Coils (also sold at concessions)

Q. Are you open when it rains?

  • Yes - rain or shine! You can still watch the movie in the rain and you can avoid the crowds!

Q. How does the parking work at your drive-in?

  • General Admission Parking is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Our team has the right to direct you where to park. You may not "hold" a spot for a friend. If someone else wants it and there is not already a vehicle in it, they can have it.
  • We have installed white PVC posts to ensure even spacing of vehicles. There is enough room for 2 vehicles to park between each set of poles. You may be asked to move over if you have not allowed enough room for another vehicle to park next to you.
  • Where you park depends on the height of the vehicle you bring to the drive-in.
  • Short vehicles up to 5' can park anywhere, but we recommend you park in the front rows nearest the big screen marked with TEAL-topped poles.
  • Medium sized vehicles over 5' but less than 6' tall can park in the middle or back of the lot next to a pole topped with either ORANGE or PINK.
  • Tall vehicles 6' or more must park in the back of the lot next to a PINK-topped pole to ensure you do not block the view of others in smaller vehicles. Don't worry -- you will be able to see just fine!
  • We reserve the right to direct you where to park your vehicle. You may be asked to move your vehicle if you are blocking the view of others due to the size of your vehicle.

Q: Can I keep my vehicle running during the movie?

  • No, you should not plan to run your vehicle’s engine while watching any movies at the drive-in. The exhaust fumes and engine noise can be offensive to your drive-in neighbors. You can safely and efficiently listen to the movie audio over your vehicle’s stereo by placing your vehicle into ACCESSORY mode. (If you don’t know what that is, please google it.) If you have a medical condition requiring air conditioning, please go to an indoor theatre. Please accommodate drive-in staff’s requests to turn off your vehicle engine while the movie is playing. If staff requests to turn off your vehicle engine are not followed, you will be asked to leave without a refund or the police will be called to remove you from our private property.

Q. Are children allowed to sit on top of vehicles to view the movies?

    Yes -- but you must park in the back of the lot such that the children are not blocking the view of others behind you. Of course, you are responsible for the health and safety of your children at any of our drive-in theaters.

Q. Do you still offer reserved parking?

  • Reserved VIP Parking has been discontinued as we work through learning to use our new ticketing and point of sale system.
  • Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. We strongly suggest arriving at least 1 hour before showtime

Q. I drive a mini-van. Can I back it into a spot and put the hatch up to watch the movies?

  • Yes! If your rear hatch extends above the top of your vehicle when opened, you may be provided a length of twine and asked to pull your hatch down so those behind you can see. Let's follow the GOLDEN RULE at the drive-in and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Please don't get angry if asked to do this because you would be thankful if you were the one who could not see over someone else's raised hatch. ;-)

Q. Can I move to the other screen to watch the other double feature instead of the one I purchased the ticket for?

  • Sorry, but no. The ticket you purchased is essentially a "license" to watch the movies paired for that double feature. You don't have to stay to watch the 2nd movie you paid to watch, but if you want to watch the 2nd feature on the other screen, you must purchase another ticket to have the right (i.e., license) to watch it. These are movie studio rules, not ours. We are simply enforcing their rules to ensure they continue sending us GREAT movies for you to enjoy!

Q. What is there to do while we wait for the movie?

  • We offer numerous games that are fun for the whole family! These games are free of charge. Simply "check out" the equipment from "Concession Central" by giving a driver's license (or other ID) as a refundable "deposit".
  • Putt Putt Golf
    Sand Volleyball (available in LC)
    Corn Hole
    Hillbilly Golf
    Bocce Ball (available in LC)

Q. May I bring...?

  • A dog? Yes, on a leash.
  • A portable grill and/or cooler? Yes, with $10 outside food fee permit. Please respect our property; no grilling with open flames permitted directly on the ground.
  • Alcoholic beverages? No.
  • More than one car-full of Family & Friends? Of course! Plan to arrive together so you can park together.

Q. What if I only want to see the 2nd feature?

  • That's O.K. Be sure to show up in time for the 2nd feature. Yes, you will still pay the regular admission price.

Q: Can I smoke at this drive-in theater?

  • Yes and No…
    YES -- you can smoke in your closed vehicle (all windows rolled up). Remember – while the movies are playing, your engine must be OFF.
    No – you cannot smoke while sitting in your vehicle with the windows down even ½ inch.
    NO – you cannot smoke outside of your vehicle – even if others around you say it is OK to do so.
    NO – you cannot smoke MARAJUANA ANYWHERE on this private property. If you are suspected of smoking marijuana on our property (even in your closed vehicle), you will be asked to leave without a refund. If you do not leave, police will be called to escort you from the property. The law allows us to decide what can and cannot be allowed on our private property. Ohio law says private citizens may smoke marijuana but we can choose “not on our property”.
