    Cumberland Drive-In is a true gem! One of only 321 drive-in theaters left in America, it just…read morecelebrated its 74th anniversary this year. At 40 years old, this was my very first time at a drive-in movie, and to say I was excited is an understatement! I managed to catch the very last weekend of the season, and both films showing were horror movies. Was it the wisest choice for my first drive-in experience? Probably not. But I couldn't resist checking it out before the fall weather got too chilly--so yes, my very first drive-in movie was The Conjuring: Last Rites. Why not go big? We reserved a parking spot online for $10, which gave us peace of mind even though the lot wasn't full that night (maybe because it was the last day of the season, maybe because it was horror night). Either way, we got an excellent spot just a few rows back from the absolutely massive screen--about 40 ft by 60 ft! I even had to grab a selfie at the base of it to show just how huge it was. Tickets were $10 per person, and since you can bring your own snacks and drinks, it makes for an affordable night out. We did check out the snack bar too, and I was impressed--it had way more than a typical theater: burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders, and more, all reasonably priced. The bathrooms nearby were well-labeled, lit, and clean. Tuning into the movie on the car radio at 88.7 FM was easy, and one of my favorite parts was the retro intros and national anthem before the movie started. They felt like they had been playing since the theater first opened in 1951--charming, nostalgic, and completely perfect. Settled in with my blanket, the passenger seat heater cranked up, and a big bowl of homemade popcorn and trail mix, I was in drive-in heaven. The movie was fun, but honestly, this review is about the experience, and Cumberland Drive-In delivered everything I could have hoped for. It was easy to find (GPS took us right to it), stress-free, and an unforgettable way to spend a late summer evening. I'll definitely be back next year--though probably for something other than a horror flick. Highly recommend making the trip and experiencing this slice of Americana for yourself!

We reserved our spots ahead of time but found that wouldn't have been necessary. The tickets were cheap enough for all of us to watch 2 new movies and the snack bar was also super cheap. We always try to patronize the snack bars when we go to the drive in since we've found out that's where they are able to earn most of their money. You can bring your own radio or get one from the snack bar. There is a nice grassy area in the front under the screen that kids can play in and everything is pretty relaxed at this drive in. Given it's one of the closer ones to us, we're going to be back again for their next season.

Unfortunately this doesn't make up for the non digital screens and the horrible sound set ups. Some of the screens have marks or defects on them. The projectors are often out of focus or off center. The sound is always a problem in each and every theater. The bathrooms are sometimes dirty and smell and are quite small. When they do show a 3d film, the exit lights reflect off the screen. Also, they do not turn the lights completely dark which can hurt the 3d effect. The good about this place keeps it out of dreaded one star territory. It is fairly clean. The seats are modern and moderately comfortable. They do have digital sound in a few theaters even though it isn't set up well. The concessions are a little lower priced than most modern theaters but not drastically so. They get most of the modern best movies. The show times are decent. The clerks are friendly and most have worked there for a long time. It is the local option which I like to support. So take this review as you will. Your serious movie fans often drive to State College for their movies. But for a night out with the kids, this will keep you well under 50 bucks. Not so much in State College.
