They usually play a new movie with a newer movie. They also do a new movie with an old movie. They also do themes for Halloween. They offer food in the center booth. I recommend getting your pizza ordered as soon as you can. The wait can be really long if you don't.(like a hourish) Overall it's a great experience you have to do this at least once.

Great time to be had at the only drive-in theater in Iowa!…read more Pricing per ticket is extremely reasonable, especially if you stay for the 2nd movie. If everyone parked one car between the white posts as instructed, the line of sight would have been better, but it still wasn't bad. Next time we plan to park in the front row to let the kids have more time to run around in our sight line. You can pack you our car with anything and everything, and there is plenty of room to set up chairs and coolers around your vehicle. The concession stand was a little pricey - more in line with a big city theater. But the quality of the food was stellar. And the pizzas were a big hit - one price, mix & match your toppings. And when you consider the ticket prices, these seem more manageable. They also have the cutest t-shirts! The only Cons we had were: 1. The on-site audio system (little car speakers) were all disconnected due to a past storm. (And it sounded like an epic off-season repair to fix.) So we had to rely on our car radios. But our lights wouldn't turn off if the auxiliary system was on. So we couldn't use our car radio. The concession stand offered old-school AM/FM radios to borrow (in exchange for a drivers license.) we went through 2 before finding one that would stay on tune 88.7. But we had to return it halfway through the 2nd movie when the concession stand closed. 2. There was a cell tower less than 1/2 mile away. It's too bad that there wasn't WiFi available. We had brought our own speakers, but without WiFi we couldn't used digital tuners. So, only a 1 star loss. We'll either bring our own radio next time, or figure something else out. It's an experience and our kids had a good time.

The theatre I grew up with had 20 screens, and it was surrounded by a plaza of food and activities. Gladbrook theater is still the coolest movie theater I've ever been to. Ever. Yeah, I suppose you could say it's because it was novel to me. It was cute and quaint, and the fact that it only shows one movie at a time is funny... but that's not what was so cool. What's cool is that the little town in the middle of corn fields and air decided they wanted a theater, and they did it. It's run by volunteers, and it's probably only frequented by the people who live near the town, but it's awesome. The place was clean, the snacks were cheap, and the movie selection for the night I was in town was perfect. I saw Wreck It Ralph in a little theater on a cold snowy night in Gladbrook, Iowa, with my boyfriend and two other awesome guys, one of whom was wearing a Teemo hat. Pretty great memory, I should think. I do think, in fact. If you live near here and you haven't stopped by, you really should. This place is great and definitely needs to be supported.
