Local
Parking is first-come, first-serve and they do not allow saving spaces next to you with chairs.
The movie sound goes through an FM radio station, so you will need a working radio to hear the sound. The drive-in website says to put your car in “accessory” mode, which should not drain your battery.
Guests are also welcome to bring a portable FM radio and the drive-in does have a limited amount of radios for rent in the snack bar.
Headlights as well as parking lights should be off.
Vehicles that are more than five feet must park at the yellow striped poles toward the back half of the screen.
Vehicles under five feet can park at the red-striped poles toward the front.
