    Halloween themed drive in night
    Becky L.

    We went for a Halloween double feature (Beetlejuice and Blair Witch Project) as part of a group. We got front row parking so that was cool! When we first got there, we hightailed it to the concession booth and we were lucky for that. By the time we left, there was a line of 20+ people. They moved pretty slow for a dinner rush before the movie started. The choices are limited but it still seemed to be an issue. Maybe need to staff more?? They had 4 people running around and you can tell they were sure trying. While we waited, we watched someone cook a block of frozen hot dogs on the grill - happy we didn't order hot dogs. I agree with the other reviews of the noise outside. There were groups of kids running and screaming at the top of their lungs, and the golf cart going back and forth. It was hard to hear the movie with our radio pretty loud. I love the nostalgic feeling but I just don't know if it's worth the price.

    Movie night!!

    We were planning to go to the drive in in McHenry, when I saw a special for this one on Living…read moreSocial. (Cars are $30 for general parking and the deal was for $19.) So I jumped on it. We went on their website and saw a decent variety of shows so we made our selection and made the reservation, which is required. It's an hour from our house and it's worth the trip. We arrived an hour and a half before our movie started as they recommend, which was perfect. The lot is big and clean and they are currently accepting less cars due to the pandemic. They have a guy who comes around with a concession cart that has basic snacks and drinks, but we brought our own. (I recommend this.) There are port o potties on both sides and right now everyone has to wear masks when you're away from your car. We packed blankets and pillows too and my daughter and her friend sat in the back of our truck, while we also brought lawn chairs and set those up too. It was a perfect night and a lot of fun! Can't wait to go again.

    Ordering tickets online was fast; masked staff scanned tickets, going car to car--all fine…read more We were irritated that aside from being directed where to park (by people w flashlights) before entering into the area for the movie screening, no one ever communicated what was going on, like why the movie started 30 mins later than advertised. It was pretty annoying to have your 2hr movie go from starting at 10:30pm to 11am. We all had sound problems at the start of the movie, and had to turn radio station on and off to get it synced with movie. The only thing that saved this from being a one star review was that the port-a-pottys were ridiculously clean; a staff member went in after each person and sprayed everything down--most sanitized toilet I've used since Covid.
