This is just about the flea fair itself, not the drive-in movie theater. It's still a favorite spot for me to visit in the spring, summer, and fall. For $1 admission, you can discover a treasure trove of goodies, antiques, and even some junky finds (what one person considers junk, another might consider a treasure!). On a good day, the flea fair is full of vendors and people to sell their items. Last week, they had to turn away vendors because they ran out of spots. The drive-in concession stand is open, though they don't have breakfast food options I could see. Still, it's a good option if you're planning to spend the whole day there. The flea fair runs from 6 AM - 2 PM on Sundays, so it's best to get there early, as it tends to fill up quickly on nice days. Also, keep in mind that bad weather days might mean fewer vendors, so plan accordingly. There is also no indoor flea market option. I highly recommend this flea fair; I always leave with something whenever I go. read more

See all

Circle Drive-In is still in 1990 but in the best way possible. The screen is big and mostly bright, and the sound quality is solid in the car. The property itself though, has not been updated since it probably opened. Old school popcorn machines, comforting but slightly off putting concession area, and clean but strange bathroom. Again, I say all of this with love. The staff does a good job of getting folks in and getting everyone set up, plus they play all good and recent movies. read more

Great place to go on a Sunday morning if you like to walk around the flea market they have alot of cool things there.

We came to see Wicked 2. It's been ages since I've been to this theatre/a drive in in general. Such a nostalgic feeling. It was November so we had no problem getting a spot close to the front even though I'm sure it's a popular movie. Ticket price is around $9-$10 per adult so pretty reasonable (you pay by person, not by car.) They have two screens so can show up to two movies simultaneously. You tune into a radio station. The sound was pretty clear. Concession stand seems to have a good assortment based on what our friend brought back to us. A fun & different way to watch a movie. Support your local drive-ins! read more

So fun to live some past with present! Always love cruisin to the drive in for a nostalgic night out.

A great drive in and always a fun time good popcorn pizza and the quality and everyone is a great experience to visit

Awesome place and staff. Dave the manager is an awesome addition. Met him by chance and he is definitely an asset.

Super old,functioning Drive-In Theater that has a flea market every Sunday. Drive-In: Pretty awesome, they have cheap food, hot dogs,popcorn, REALLY good fries,candy etc...the concession building is a total timewarp, its ceiling is also like 6 ft high, you can buy the old Drive-In speakers there which rules, my ONLY complaint is they start the first movie(you get 2 MOVIES for like $9 or some thing)before it's compeletely dark,making it hard to see for the first half hour Flea Market: TOTALLY RULES! I've been going since i was a kid, found some really great stuff here in my day! great for people watching too, i hope this always exists read more

One of the things I truly miss about NEPA. An old fashioned drive in movie theater. (You get to watch 2 movies!) Awesome concession stand that has all the movie theater staples. The only downside is their not so great speaker system so tune your radio in and turn it up! -Also they have one amazing flea market Sunday mornings. read more

Went there for a concert on October 9th, showed up and at the gate they forced us to search our car and they confiscated $200 worth of alcohol from our car, we were never told or warned at purchase of our tickets that you cannot bring food or drinks into the venue. All employees were very rude and would not help in any way. Never will return. read more

Another critically cool part of NEPA life. I'm so grateful this place has been open all my life, and I hope it is for a long time to come!! Must visit! read more

Huge screen? Warm car? Popcorn? Sounds like a great night to me and that is what the Circle Drive-In movie theater is all about.

Nostalgia calls many to the Circle Drive-in. I have gone frequently with my family, paying reasonable rates to view 2 newly released films on large screens. An array of food is available - hot dogs, pizza, pretzels, nachos, etc. - or you can bring your own. There are even breakfast options during Sunday flea fairs. Staff has always been kind and professional to me. In addition to films and flea fairs, the drive-in also extends its use with NFL and college football game viewings, and its Halloween themed "Circle of Screams" in the autumn, helping to ensure it does not fade into memory like so many other drive-ins. As for the issues, note that Screen 2 has a hilly viewing area (whereas Screen 1 is flat and paved), which can make for difficulty driving/walking and a slanted viewing experience. This would require some construction work to correct. More easily corrected is to either prohibit smoking or sequester it to smoking sections. Too often I've had to roll up my windows on hot summer evenings (alternative to moving my vehicle during the middle of the movie) in order to escape the cigarette smoke. This is a real drawback for those with kids, asthma, or who simply don't want to inhale second hand smoke. read more

I've been coming to the drive in since I was a kid and continue to visit. If I'm bringing a friend home during the summer time, there's a good chance we'll end up at the drive in so they can share the experience. $8 for two recent films can't be beat. The prices at the concession stand are very good (I've been living near Philadelphia for two years and for what I pay for a bag of popcorn here, I could buy snacks for a family of four at the Circle Drive In), and there's a nice variety of snacks. The atmosphere is great and authentic - it simply can't be beat as far as summer past times go. read more

The drive in experience is still one of the best parts of summertime. The screen is huge and the sound quality through your radio is awesome. Their snack bar is so cool, you have to check it out! Its self serve/cafeteria style which is great because you don't have to wait forever in a long line, you just move along and pick up what you want to eat. The staff seem really nice and friendly too. All in all it is a great experience and you should really try to do a drive-in movie if you're in the area. read more

Visiting family and took the kids on an adventure. Great experience, I was glad to share with my children and grandchildren. Kids asked what's a drive in? Thoroughly enjoyed the movie and sitting in the back of the car was a novel experience for them. The retro concession stand was awesome and the prices extremely reasonable. Can't wait to do it again! read more

This Drive-In is part of Americana. I have been going there with my family since I was a child. I have taken my children there and now my grandchildren will be enjoying it also, Summer movies under the stars, popcorn and a coke... Making memories...It doesn't get better than that. Thank you to the owners for keeping the Circle Drive-In as part of the valley legacy. Dom & Char Perini Jessup, Pa read more

I can't even put into words how much I LOVE the circle drive in. Every time I'm in Pennsylvania I make sure that I set aside time on the weekend to visit. First off; there's no better value for your money. Not only is the price of admission super affordable but you get a double feature for less than what you'd pay to see one film at a standard cinema. The concessions are just as affordable and offer a wide variety of classic movie theater snacks as well as some not so common items such as burgers and cappuccinos. The decor is a throwback to an era before my time and creates the perfect "drive-in" atmosphere. Picture the classic drive-in theater and you have the circle drive in. They recently converted to digital so you have top notch quality while still retaining that classic feel. As the icing on the cake the staff is as friendly and pleasant as can be. I honestly CAN NOT praise this place enough. Fun Fact: this drive in is referenced in the Season 5 episode 18 of "The Office" read more

2 movies for $7.00 and concession stand are a great value. REAL BUTTER on the popcorn! Sound is in stereo with the quality similiar to the early 1960's. Frequency range is 1.5 to 15 KHz., similar to AM radio quality. This didn't bother me; in fact its nostalgic. read more

This drive in theatre is one of our family's favorite parts of summer. We are a large family, & this makes for a fun & affordable night out. The concession stand is very reasonable - we all have a great time when we go here! read more

I love the circle drive-in on a summer nite. Two movies for one price. You can buy food at the concession stand or smuggle in your own food and drinks, which i do. If i sit outside my car i have problems hearing the movie. If i sit in my car with the radio on, i can hear ok. They do start showing their first movie too, soon way before its dark enough and u cant see the first 30 mins or so of the show. Sometimes its tricky getting out of there when the two movies are over, with everyone leaving at once. Its nice if u have a bigger, more roomy vehicle too. read more

Since they've gone Digital, this drive-in is 100% perfect. Exceptional audio and video, like nothing I've ever heard or seen at ANY drive-in. Love the popcorn, made with REAL butter ! Only one downside : Movies are shown 2 weeks in a row, keeping us from going there EVERY week. If you ever wondered how your car would sound with a very expensive stereo installed, check out their Digital sound......and no more ' too dark ' screen visibility. AAA visuals make this drive-in an unbelievable experience. read more

this is a retro drive in and the value for two movies would be great, however as another reviewer has mentioned, the quality of the sound is not good. The speaker system that is in place is just plain bad and even with tuning in to 89.1 on your car stereo, you will still experience incredible amounts of static, crackling and screeching. It almost made the two movies unbearable. I talked to several other patrons at the July 23 showing of harry potter and super 8 and they said the same thing. I have a fairly new car stereo and even with correct tuning and adjusting the equalizer and all of my settings, there were some parts of the movies (particularly any time someone spoke softly and conversely when there was a lot of background noise) that my wife and i couldn't understand what what being said. Oh, and i am only 33 years old with good hearing, so it's not that i am deaf or anything. If they fixed this i would go back in a heartbeat, otherwise i suggest you save your money. read more
