Best Time to Visit

What to Know

Admission is cash-friendly and significantly cheaper than traditional theaters, with the double feature providing excellent value. Arrive with a full tank of gas and check your car battery health beforehand, as you'll be using accessories without the engine running.

Seasonal Notes

Typically operates spring through fall, with closures during winter months due to cold temperatures. Check their schedule as showtimes start later in summer when sunset is late. Special holiday screenings around Halloween and summer break are especially popular.
