First Time at the Drive-In? Here's What to Expect
No stress, no guesswork — pull in, park, and we'll walk you through the rest. Here's everything a first-timer needs to know before sundown.
Pack the Car
What to Bring
None of it is required — but a little prep makes the night even better.
Blankets & Folding Chairs
Tailgate, truck bed, or lawn chairs out front — make your spot cozy.
Bug Spray
It's the outdoors — a little repellent goes a long way after dusk.
A Portable FM Speaker (if needed)
Sound plays on 98.7 FM. If your car stereo can't easily tune in, a small speaker with FM radio does the trick.
Cash or Card for the Café
Dinner, popcorn, and drinks are all at the café — or order ahead from your phone.
Patience for Dusk
The show starts after sunset, not at a fixed clock time — settle in and enjoy the wait.
The Night, Step by Step
Your First Visit
Buy tickets online or at the gate — whichever is easier for you.
Arrive by early evening for a good spot and time to enjoy the café before the show.
Back into your spot or park facing the screen — either way works fine.
Once you're parked, tune your radio to 98.7 FM.
Grab dinner at the café or order ahead from the menu for less time at the counter.
Settle in before dusk — the movie starts once it's dark enough, not at a fixed time.
Headlights off, and enjoy the double feature.
Good to Know
First-Timer FAQ
Do I need a special radio?
No — just a regular FM radio. Your car stereo works fine for most vehicles; tune to 98.7 FM once you're parked. If your car doesn't pick up FM easily, bring a small portable speaker with FM radio built in.
Can I bring outside food?
Outside food is welcome with a $10 permit per vehicle — or skip the fee altogether and grab something at the café, open with the gates through 10:30pm.
Can I bring my own chairs outside the car?
Generally yes, near your own vehicle — lots of folks set up chairs or a tailgate spread right next to their car.
What if I've never seen a double feature?
It's simple — two movies back to back, one ticket. The first feature starts around 8:30–9pm once it's dark enough, and the second rolls right after. Stay for one or stay for both.
What does admission cost?
$9 general admission, $2 for kids ages 6–12, free for kids under 5, and $7 with valid military, senior, first responder, or teacher ID.
When do headlights need to be off?
Once the show starts, headlights off for everyone — it keeps the screen sharp and the whole lot happy.
