Elm Road Triple Drive-In Theater

Love it! I have been coming here for 25 years. Best weekend entertainment for families and date night.

My family loves going to the drive in! Hubby and I had our first date here and we love going back and sharing the experience with our kids. The food is always great, decently priced for what you get. The staff isn’t very friendly, but it’s never bothered us. We have seen the owner on the golf cart being rude to some people, then completely ignore others doing the same thing. But just follow the rules and you won’t have any issues. Park where you’re permitted and tie your hatch down!
TL;DR Elm road is a wonderful drive in, but not the friendliest staff.

Drive-​ins make movies so much better! PJs, pillows and blankets in the car!
I remember playing on the playground a couple of times here, but now I get nervous and a little agitated with the kids running around at dusk. I’m not sure I will be such a trusting parent, but we’ll see. Plus, some kids keep playing and yelling through the movies, which can be irritating, but they’re having their fun and I can’t blame them.
Prices are pretty good and I’d much rather pay to see two late night movies outside than one in a stuffy theater. Also, remember there aren’t two, but three screens here! Win!
I can’t speak for the food because we were never a «food at the movies» type of family.

There’s something special about watching a movie at the drive-​in. I’ve been to several drive-in’s in my life (in different parts of the country), and this is, by far, one of the best. It is clean, well-​maintained, and very, very affordable. (Even the restrooms are clean!) The owners do a great job, all around with every aspect of this establishment.
Tips:
1. Get there early, because there is a line of cars out into the street, and down Elm Road waiting to get in.
2. Bring cash, they don’t accept credit cards. (Although there is an ATM inside, by the concession stand.)
3. If it’s cold (or raining), engage your parking break before turning your car on for heat (or windshield wipers)…this way, your headlights won’t come on, blinding everyone in front of you and distorting the movie screen.
4. Support the concession stand. They have a huge selection, the prices are reasonable, the place is clean, and there are early-​bird specials.
5. There are trash cans scattered around the lot, so don’t throw your garbage on the ground like a lazy jerk.
6. There are sliding boards, see-​saws, and swings for kids, but don’t let your kids run around screaming all around the parking lot. It pisses other people off.
Letter grade: A

I hadn’t been to a drive-​in theater since high school so I was excited to try it again. I can’t recall having this much fun at a theater in a long time.
The theater was offering triple features on two of the three screens and all three movies we watched were enjoyable. I firmly believe the drive-​in has the power to make any movie better.
On my second visit there was an issue with the sound quality. The radio broadcast was wavy as if it was being piped through a large fan. It was really bad at first but got better after I called the drive-​in to complain. But it never did get completely fixed.
The concession booth has a large menu including pizza dinner deals. Between my two experiences I have to rate this a four. Either way, Drive-​ins are not about the quality, but about the experience.
