    This place isn't fancy at all. In fact, it's run down, all the gravel and dried grass is a little depressing, but this place is still great for nothing else than it's a drive in. The food is greasy (and what I mean by that is that the fries tasted like old oil and the onion rings were a little mushy because they weren't thoroughly fried), the staff is checked out, and the mosquitoes come out at night, but it's still glorious. I went to the concession stand and they had a nice mix of foods and a full condiment bar. They sell posters for previously screened movies for $5, so go ahead and sift through the box. They rent FM radios for $5 and you have to leave your ID, but that's fair if you don't want to run your battery down watching the double feature. There are a few tables around the concession stand which was perfect for us and most tables weren't used anyway because people preferred to eat in their cars. The restrooms are pristine, so good job Skyline Staff!

    4$ a ticket, double feature every night. Great price great and concession stands, clean bathroom, and fun staff.

    Ready for the sun to go down so we can start the show!

    Since we started going here a few weeks ago, we have really enjoyed ourselves. The staff are extremely friendly, the concessions are well done, and fairly priced. For a business that probably makes more of its revenue on food sales right now, the prices are still lower than a mainstream theater. On our last visit, we purchased an XL popcorn and a pizza for $15. I was impressed, and honestly would have paid more. The popcorn was fresh and very well done. The pizza wasn't anything special, but was hand done, absolute hit the spot, and was satisfying. I would highly recommend a visit to Skyline. Right now, they are doing rereleases of some great movies. We have seen, Back to the future, the mummy, Beetlejuice, and Willy Wonka. The picture quality is good, and the radio reception for the audio is really good. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained also.

    4th of July fireworks served up over an awesome screening of ghostbusters (you recognize the scene?) -- what a delight!

    Many summer memories here, a gem of a drive-in saved from the digital transition that I am proud to tell everyone about. 4th of July - Fireworks! Other special events happen too. Attached is a burst of red fire over a screening of ghostbusters, how could life get better? Great food, great prices, clean bathrooms, great atmosphere...and thanks to covid (a small upside) now apparently open year round. Couldn't ask for anything more other than maybe the FM station's audio pre-movie playing can be a bit distorted but no worries because once the movie starts all is good so I call that charm ;) *DON'T CHANGE A THING*

    This is such a neat place! Do you ever miss the good old days of drive in movie theaters, making out in your old Buick Skylark and when gas was less than $1. This place is like you are the main character in Hot Tub Time Machine, it takes you back to a place of nostalgia. When you're here you're family! Thanks Kathy for creating this amazing place to gather and for sharing your favorite movie(American Graffiti) with us :)

    Man, it's been a long time... We came out and saw ET and Jaws a couple nights ago and it was pretty relaxing. My kids have never been, so my wife and I packed them up with blankets and pillows, backed the SUV in, and posted up. We hit the consession stand for some much needed junk food. Picked up a couple cheese burgers and fries, a couple Pepperoni pizzas, some Dots and Hot Tamales, and some drinks. We headed back to the SUV just in time for the movie to start. Food was pretty good for what it was. Then the whole family cuddled up in the back with blankets and pillows for the movies. The whole night was just really cool. Definately coming back...

    Simple pleasures of sitting in your warm car during a rainy night. Watching movies the old fashion way.

    There is just something so classic and American about a drive in. I'm so happy this drive in is about 20 minutes from Lacey. I went on a Sunday night and it wasn't way busy. The weather was perfect and there was a meteor shower as well , so two shows for the price of one. Now, as someone already mentioned $7 for two movies is just......rediculously good. Sometimes they have triple feature nights and you get 3 shows for the price. $2 for kids 6 to 11, and free for those under 6. I don't have kids, but I know parents complain about not being able to go to the movies without paying a fortune but for a family of four that's just $20 unless your kids are under 6. Of course they have a very nice concession stand where the prices are pretty reasonable. The bathrooms are nice as well. I expected some smelly two stall, one urinal deal, but there are like 5 urinals and 4 or 5 stalls....it looks so small from the outside! Anyway, what I also though was cool is that the movies they play are very recent. If you've ever been to a dollar or cheap movie theatre, you know how they have movies that are like 3-4 months old? Well it's not the case at Skyline. I saw the new Batman and part of the new Spiderman movie. I left slightly after midnight, part way into Spiderman. So it's a great late night getaway. People back into their spots and open up the tailgate or back window and lay down in their trucks or SUV or whatever and enjoy the feature films. It's really nice watching a movie under the stars. You listen to the soundtrack/audio on you FM radio station which is cool too. Not too many bugs, but you might want to put some bug spray on and bring a sweater or cardigan or blanket because the temperature does go down quite a bit. Please check this place out at least once.

    Beautiful, but it kills me that this place is so run down and filthy.

Parking is way more simplified and streamlined at this movie theater as well compared to Ruston Point. Some of our friends really make a point if they are going to do the theater experience to come to this one as the seats recline and it's a fairly deluxe movie experience as far as the seating and condiments go. As with any kind of theater like this this theater has blockbuster, franchise and mainstream releases which is usually a hit or miss experience for me. Sometimes I can really sink my teeth into them and other times it's quite the opposite. But that has doesn't really have much to do with the theater itself or customer service experiences and is more of a programming preference. More often than not these days I lean towards arthouse or independent movie releases and while Lakewood doesn't have a theater that plays this kind of programming there is indeed one in Tacoma that does and occasionally perhaps two theaters depending what you actually consider to be in definition "arthouse " or "independent" films. But aside from programming preferences I never had a bad experience in coming here and should I be motivated to hit a theater for a movie that has a wide release then this particular theater definitely springs to mind.

As an old fart i have many fond memories of drive-ins, piling into the car in our jammies, seeing the latest Clint Eastwood movie...so I was delighted to hear Neptune had worked with the community to bring it back as fantastic solution to the COVID problem. They erected a decent sized screen, built a projector house; modern technology via FM transmitter (95.5) eliminates the need for the clunky old wired systems of the olden days. So, you go into the lobby (mask on!), say how many tiks you need, get your popcorn and soda and go park (or you can park first) - for two adults, one large popcorn and medium drink it was $25. Yes. You heard right. I even walked back into the lobby thinking they undercharged me. GREAT VALUE. And btw, its the cutest little theatre lobby this side of the Mississippi. Great, friendly staff inside. The previews and 'movie trivia' are locally and professionally produced with, likely, the proprietors children? Very cute! And they leveraged a local production company here in my home of Ocean Park, which did a fantastic job. The movie was nice and bright. At times the FM sound drifted a bit, usually during low volume parts. Since it was cold, we ran the engine intermittently, luckily our subaru didnt insist on turning on the headlights as some other modern cars do. Even in the rain, with intermittent windshield wipers, we really enjoyed the show! No Mask! And theres an INTERMISSION! "Lets all go to the lobby...." They had some tempting food at great prices (next time I'll come hungry) Anyway, GREAT JOB Neptune & co.! I hope they retain the drive in as a wonderful novelty for 'normal times' - Long Beach Visitors ought to add it to their list of 'what to dos in LB'. We'll be back! Oh, and smart local business owners and realtors ought to be snapping up screen time for advertising.
