Yes – rain or shine! You can still watch the movie in the rain and you can avoid the crowds!
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.
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.
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.
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!
That’s O.K. Be sure to show up in time for the 2nd feature. Yes, you will still pay the regular admission price.
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”.
Refunds for online tickets are available until 30 minutes before showtime via our online portal! From the ticketing page, click the three-bar menu on the top right corner of the screen. Choose “Online Orders” and enter your ticket details.
To enjoy the movie audio at the drive-in, simply tune your car radio to the correct FM station:
92.9 FM for Screen 1 and 91.1 FM for Screen 2.
A limited number of portable radios are available for rental at the concession stand; your driver license will be held as a refundable “deposit” until you return our radio.
Make sure your radio is set to stereo for the best sound quality, and don’t forget to turn your key to accessory mode to save your battery!

If you bring your own food or drinks, you must purchase a Food/Drink Permit (1 per vehicle) for $10, either online with your tickets or at the gate.
Permits include a $10 concession coupon with a $25+ food/drink purchase.
Excludes guests with medical food needs.
Why the fee? Most ticket revenue goes to movie studios—concession sales support the theater. This per-vehicle fee allows outside food (unlike indoor theaters) while helping us stay open.
If you don’t comply, there’s a $20 fine or you may be asked to leave without a refund.
