We suggest that you arrive at the theater one hour before the first show. The audio for the movies is broadcast through an FM transmitter to your radio, so make sure you have a good sound system in your vehicle, or feel free to bring a battery operated boom box. We recommend that pick-up trucks park backwards so that the tailgate end is facing the movie screen, that way you can fill the bed of your truck with lawn chairs, pillows and blankets while you watch the movie from there.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION'S
1) What are our hours of operations?
Our hours vary across the year. Please look at the description on the individual events for the gate time (when we allow cars onto the lot) and the feature time (when the TV Commercials begin to roll). Our times are always approximate as the time at which it is dark enough to see the movie changes every Monday.

We play rain or shine! If there are unsafe conditions such as Hurricanes, Tornadoes/Severe Storms, Witnter, Flooding, Or Power Outages, we will cancel the show and re-schedule.

Showboat projects on our 60 foot wide scope ratio screen, with Barco 4K DLP projection, like what you would find in most Premium Large Format auditoriums at indoor theaters.
4) What food & drink options are there?
Outside food and drink are prohibited. Movie theaters of all types are made possible by concession sales. The movie tickets themselves go mostly to the movie studios, so please consider making a purchase on site. From Showboat to the food Bar/Restrooms, we are all small businesses trying to make it in this crazy world!
Generally, we serve regular movie snacks like popcorn, soda, and candy. You can walk up to our concessions area and purchase directly.

The pricing is $10/car, with up to 6 people per vehicle (or the legal max for the car).

NO. We must ask that everyone turn off their engine after they are parked.
Noisy car engines are bothersome to your neighbors in the next car.

This rule must be followed at all times and will be enforced. If you refuse to follow this or any of the Drive-in rules you may be asked to leave with no refund.
