    Unadilla Drive In - Friday night at the movies

    Okay this place brings me back to my childhood. Drive-in movies are unique in that they bring a…read morespecial sense of community and bonding to the showing of a movie. Pre-movie parents are relaxed, kids a running about enjoying the outdoors and when it's time for the movie you settle into you lawn chair or kick back in the bed of your pickup truck. It has a big screen feel with the outdoor elements all around you. Magical sunsets or spooky clouds and mist roll in to make the viewing experience even more thrilling. Sound is delivered over a radio channel, so I recommend bringing an external speaker and stand alone radio. The car radio is okay but can be problematic if it keeps shuttling off or the rear speakers are not good. The staff is fun and concessions are average. Bug spray is recommended. I truly enjoy the drive-in experience as a wonderful nostalgic summertime activity. Hopefully drive-ins will never totally disappear.

    First of all let me say that this was my first time ever going to a drive in theater. I have wanted…read moreto for years, but was never able to find a local one. My girlfriend and I were able to find this location after doing a little research. The price is outstanding. We paid $7 per ticket which gave us a double feature... Starting at 8:30 was "We're the Millers," followed by "Elysium." We were able to listen to the movies by tuning our stereo to 107.9. I think the transmitting volume may have been a little high though, when the movies got loud, the speakers got slightly distorted in the bass. There were many cars for the first showing, but we had plenty of room. Also, each spot is elevated upward for a better viewing angle. They have both male and female rest rooms outside attached to the office. Also, they have full concessions from what I saw, though I did not go in since we made our own popcorn before leaving home. All in all, an outstandingly fun time out with my girlfriend. I would definitely recommend to anyone. A word of advice: Since the movie goes through your car stereo, you will need to start your car occasionally to prevent your battery from dying. Though if it does, the staff is fully prepared to give you a jump.

    Love this theater!…read more Built in 1948, this huge (350 seat!) theater is vintage but has been fully modernized, with a digital projector and Dolby. They show a mix of feature films, including the big-name first-run attractions but only have one screen. Technical quality is excellent. The arched roof (built on wooden beams--like a wooden ship, upside down) makes it like a big tube and you get that big movie theater sound. I love the history and the lobby is like a little museum. The original projector, a carbon-arc, 16-mm film projector, is there next to a display case (which used to be the candy counter) with old tickets, signage, and relics of the past. The lobby has posters from old showings, like Godfather, The Graduate. The ticket booth and many of the furnishings are original but the place is very clean and well organized. Fun fact: Originally the Harden Theater, named for its founder, it became the Arden Theater when the H fell off the marquee and the owner didn't want to be bothered to replace it. We had a birthday party there and the owner, Kristina was very helpful. They showed a movie at 10:30 on a Saturday, then we had cake and snacks in the lobby, then went to a local pizza place. Fun place for a party and a great theater.

    It's a classic theater with a great old time vibe. Very clean. Family owned. I've been to it twice…read moreso far and looking forward to more this year.

    I wish they had a kiosk for people who bought tickets online to quickly check in instead of…read morestanding on line behind people who are buying their tickets (frequently college kids in a pack all buying separately lol) they use REAL butter on their popcorn which is awesome! The price is right and gives me hope that the cinema isn't dead or a demand of $100 to enjoy! For two people in vip seats we got in for $19! That's unheard of!! We bought candy, soda, and popcorn and between the tickets and that we still got out of there for less than two tickets and popcorn alone at other cinemas. It's a smaller theater but it's great quality. We would love to return here!!!

I've known this theatre from Back when my buddy went to school here im the 90s. Group of 20+ of us decided to walk over after dinner. They had a 10 ticket special which usually is used for a max of 4 tickets at a time but he made an exception for us since we had such a big group. We all made sure to get some snacks cause and was nice to support a small local business. They do a good job to utilize the space they have with some regular seats and some recliner seats. Also you pick your seat when you come in. No worrying about will I be able to sit with the rest of my party. PS cocaine bear was hysterical

    New Paltz Cinema - They're saying that we should take our business elsewhere! I guess that leaves us no option but to do so.
