I finally came this summer, when they were playing Barbie. We purchased tickets earlier in the day and ate dinner next door to make sure we got good seats. That turned out to be unnecessary, but they did mention that some showings had sold out recently. I recommend getting tickets earlier rather than later! You can purchase tickets online or in person. I loved the ambiance in the theater - from the gorgeous velvet curtains to the stars in the ceiling designed by an astronomy professor. So much history has been maintained while adding modern comfort. The popcorn is also tasty and they carry local soda.

The stage and acoustics were a delight, too. Thank you for being this seasonally appropriate, Celtic band, for the week before St. Patrick's day. Those of us who are 50%, or 100% Irish- we celebrate this holiday all week or all month! The band, Kennedy's Kitchen, said it was their third time at this venue. The attendance was pretty decent- the band joked that there must not have been any good basketball games on. Lol. Good mix of jokes, stories, songs with and w/out lyrics. Haunting melodies and lively jigs etc. Plus, this band played in the gym today for the students at the school where I work, and they played a luncheon time concert at our local community college. Way to spread goodwill!!! :)

Still debating if my family and I should visit here again, we'll see.

A great concession stand that isn't over priced or ridiculous like modern movie theaters (seriously--a bucket of popcorn for $3? A jumbo soda for $2? Insane) and they carry more than just popcorn. Candy, caramel apples, ice cream, milk shakes, a variety of fried foods including funnel cake. The place just smells awesome. Old neon signs adorn the walls as well as photos of classic Hollywood stars. Neato! Each night your entrance fee buys you into a double feature. Usually it's a kid's movie first followed by a grown up feature. This past weekend it was two adult films-- Salt and Grown Ups. You pull your car into the slot and you have the old fashioned speakers hanging next to your car should you choose them. I'm a mosquito magnet so leaving the windows open would just not do so we opted to listen to the radio feed that runs over a local FM station. Right in front of the screen are swings and a few playground pieces for kids to play around in. Some folks choose to sit on blankets outside of their cars. However you feel most comfortable you can go for it at the Cherry Bowl. The show begins after dusk and before the first film they make special occasion announcements and everyone lays down on the horn in congratulations of birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, etc. So cute! Then they play an old cartoon short (e.g. an old Disney Mickey Mouse short) and then the first feature film. Following that is a classic intermission with old "let's all go to the lobby" reels, commercials for mosquito repellant and pickles. Really awesome old timey stuff. Then the second feature beings. We were exhausted and not particularly interested in seeing Grown Ups so we made sure to stick out for the awesome intermission and took off after. If you're up in the Leelanau area I highly recommend this wonderful blast from the past. The films never go over pg-13 so it's usually kid friendly faire and fun for all ages!
