It was nostalgic to seeing the speakers on the pole. And hearing announcements about concessions. But, there were two kinds of moviegoers. Those who patiently waited in line, and those who didn't want to wait, so they started their own line, by driving across the grass and getting in front of the other cars. Management was on the scene in no time, to explain how things work but, didn't have them move! I guess there was a generation that skipped the rules. At $12.00 per adult, it sounds too good to be true. Watching a brand new movie. Followed by a second movie! There were a few pros & cons, but we had a great time.

Not the best. Snack bar area is dirty and looks like a junk yard. But if you are planning on staying in your car the whole time it's not too bad. They started the movie a few minutes early (so people where coming in as it was already playing)

Great blast from the past!!!It was so nice to see this and to know that it is available. It is opened during the weekends right now. This weekend was the new Will Smith movie ALADDIN and the new AVENGERS movieThe second screen showing JOHN WICK 3 and LONG SHOT...This is located about 2 hrs and 15 minutes one way from my home, so I don't get to come here often and stay for both movies due to being too tired to drive home.But the price is $9.50 per adult, $5 for kids and under 3 free which is great prices for 2 movies. This is a double screen so there are four showing.They do not allow you to bring in pizzas. They offer standard hot dogs and popcorn, not bad but the prices are a little high but hey its all they have so if you want to eat the four to five hours you are there...they have you!!!

Big Drive in fans, have been going for 50+ years. Been a customer of South Drive in for 35 years. For the past 20 years, its been our little secret way of having a family fun night. I don't think we have missed a year since 1989. Now with Social Media they can advertise. This brought in a new crowd with no drive in etiquette. It was a dangerous situation. We arrived early and got a great spot, settled in the back of our SUV with the tail gate raised just enough for us to see. SDI use to mandate big trucks and SUVs had to park in the back rows. Now everyone has an SUV or truck and its the wildwest out there.A 100 cars showed up 30 minutes after the movie started with their headlights on blinding people who were on time. Some drove with lights off which was really dangerous. All of these late arrivals had to drive up and down every row looking for that prime spot while hundreds of spots in the back rows are wide open.The drive In is probably struggling and we are lucky its still here, but now they ask you at the box office if you want to donate an extra Dollar to save the Drive in. Then during the previews is a film made with a 10 year old Iphone asking you to help save the Drive in and explaining their costs.There is no longer, at least Saturday night, no parking enforcement. Snack bar is still your typical Drive in food joint that we love.

This Fleamarket/ is one of the best I've visited, all nationalities all types of vendors and Sane times it's about sometimes receiving less than you expected but it's worth it!

This place has been a summer staple for me for years. 2 movies for the price of one is hard to beat. Workers are wearing masks and cars are social distanced. Concessions are affordable and facilities are clean.

The drive in has always been on my list of places I'd like to check out and I finally got to! It's not in the best part of town so I've always been a bit weary of the area but it was fine. 9 bucks a person for 2 movies and the first movie plays again at the end of the two movies! We got there super early anticipating it getting very busy but it never really got too packed. But we had nothing much to do to kill time between dinner and showtime so we went on over to the drive in to hang out before the show. Best way to do it is in some type of hatchback vehicle where you can lay in the back with pillows and blankets galore. The place has certainly seen better days. It's not in horrible shape but nothing fancy. It's a drive in. The speakers worked just fine but they also had a radio station you can tune into if they didn't. The parking was a little confusing to figure out at first as they want certain sized vehicles to park in certain areas. Your receipt has a description of how this works. Definitely a fun date night for something different!

A bit of nostalgia in our backyard! If you can get over say old popcorn, chewy lukewarm pizza, and flat soda then buy from the concession. But, if that doesn't seem appealing to you then you are able to bring your own snacks and drinks which I highly recommend. Definitely donate $1 to keep the drive-in running because it truly is a great, inexpensive night out!

I was so excited to find that there is still a drive in theater in Columbus! I have a 1 year old and a 5 year old, so I don't go to the movies much but we just had to see the new Toy Story film and this is an awesome option to have if you have small children who don't do well in a typical theater setting. They handle the check in ticketing process very well and their prices are good. The concessions stand is quaint but the line moves quickly and fair prices for snacks. I think exiting was a little difficult as there is not any signs posted as which way to go (at least none easily visible) but they still directed people out well. We will definitely recommend out friends and family come out and keep this drive in alive!
