Yes its not like the latest and greatest movie but its definitely a great place to gather friends and to sit and chill around. Wow there were so many people at the event. I stayed for a bit as well. It was really nice and relaxing. The screen is definitely not the biggest wide screen but it was ok. Also it was FREE! Thumbs up to this. Great for locals and tourists.

Cliche/touristy as Millennium can be to some locals, seeing a movie here is just a perfect way to spend an evening. Good company, watching a movie while the sun goes down, Pavilion adding their own flare with subtle color lighting and also the skyline - couldn't ask for more. Recommendation: go EARLY EARLY to get a good spot. Please be considerate of your fellow movie goes and don't plop your big chair in front of people who are sitting on a blanket on the ground. Bring your favorite food and beverages of course. Also recommend double blankets or yoga mat underneath as the ground can be wet. Two and a half hour movie was difficult to sit in on position on the ground so we said next time we'd get those 'chairs' that sit flat on the ground but have back support. This time around talenti was giving away free PINTS of ice cream - yay thanks!

We came here for the Metal Movie Night series (which we have also seen at the Music Box) to see…read more"Robocop." I had only ever been to one drive-in before (the Cascade, now closed), and it's a fun experience, and unusual in the urban setting. You can order food to your car (it's brought over from the concession stand in the indoor soccer arena next door), but we went over to eat there because we also wanted to use the indoor bathrooms (otherwise it's a portapotty). You can either park your car facing forward and sit inside or park backward and tailgate (though outside food and drink are not allowed in). There are also several rows of chairs set up if you don't want to sit in your car. Before this particular show they had various vendors set up as well as a food truck (The Gilty Pig) off to one side of the lot). Tune your radio to 89.1 to get the audio (or just open your windows). Great nostalgic fun in Pilsen!

I want to start off by saying that the staff was very nice and helpful; therefore my two stars…read more I have been to drive-in movie theaters in the Bay Area and Las Vegas but this location/expierance was so disappointing. This gravel field is at the end of this industrial street with a large building in front of the screen that has lights on. The are low budget scones indicating where to park. First two rows are reserved and last had a private party. The color contrast is so dull and just sad. The movie started late due to technical difficulties and half into the movie, the audio stopped and after 10 minutes, they just skipped to another scene. Im absolutely speechless that they would charge over $40 for this very low quality movie expierance. I will most definitely not be going back.

You can bring food, bring drinks and of course bring friends & family for some relaxing time together. What's better than a evening together feasting & drinking in wonderful weather!? I recently went to watch Soul Food at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park and was very happy with the whole experience including the sound there. If you end up watching at Jay Pritzker, I suggest getting as close to the screen as you can to the front for the best visual experience. Awesome idea the city of Chicago has had putting on these movies bringing the people of our city together for a fun, free night together!

I had doubts about having the movie in various 'hoods. I was wrong. Having the movies in various neighborhoods is much better. Instead of buying the food and beverages downtown, I will be able to support the mylocal shops and take out restaurants. Just go early to pick your spot since it does get somewhat crowded - not like at Grant Park. You are able to bring your favorite take out dinner, movie snacks including beverages. Just remember, alcohol is not permitted in the park. Having stated that, if you have a big back pack or purse and it just happens to have your favorite adult beverage in it... it will be fine. Just like Grant Park, the scenery is incredible. The skyline is on one side of the park and the breeze from Lake Michigan is on the other side. Since the showing was at the part at Belmont and Sheridan Road, I was able to walk over there. Within 10 minutes after the movie, I was home. I will be attending more of these movies in the nearby neighborhoods.

You are given headphones in order to watch the movie and it was super immersive and helped block out noises from things like wind, birds, or kids.

We saw Twelfth Night (July-Aug 2025) last night. I have been attending OPFT since we moved here…read more15+ years ago and this was one of the best Shakespeare productions they've had. I saw that the Tribune criticized OPFT's take for being too heavy on the comedy and light on the romance. I disagree; I thought that the emphasis on the comedy was a huge plus. Malvolio stole the show with Toby and Sir Andrew as great comedic support. Olivia's flip-flopping was also well executed for some good fun. The Fool had to compete hard for laughs.... I was delighted to find that this production had even our kids (11-13) laughing like crazy. This is excellent accessible Shakespeare in the park that is great for the whole family. Tickets for kids under 12 are just $5.

Why isn't there more outdoor theatre in the Chicago area? I mean, to some extent I get it (here in…read more2022, my car was dappled in slush and snow on April 8), but really this should be a bigger thing. As I think of it the only real options for this are Theatre on the Lake, occasionally when there's a Shakes in the park sort of thing happening, and Oak Park Festival Theatre in Oak Park. The work done by this company is really high quality, so you'll definitely get your money's worth and enjoy the performance if you enjoy the play. I came here in 2016 to see Pygmalion after a few years of saying I should go and then not doing so. OPFT has an illustrious history: The theatre was established in 1975 and has included such notable thespians (of course unknown at the time) as David Mamet as William H. Macy. Unfortunately, in November 2021 there was a fire that destroyed much of their equipment, historical documents, and I'm hopeful their fundraising efforts will prepare them to mount a new season this or next summer! Austin Gardens is in downtown Oak Park Parking is found on surrounding streets, or in the village parking lot (free after 6 pm). Accessibility is a bit harder to measure. It's a park, so it is as accessible as any park, but depending upon the type of accommodation you need, your mobility, etc. it may vary how accessible it is for an individual. They don't have wheelchairs or anything for patron use as far as I know, and as a park it may be difficult to hear at times. Alternatively, both the Green Line and the UP-W Metra line are within 3-5 blocks of the park, so that's a great choice for transportation, too. There are restaurants nearby, or for an even more fun option, bring your dinner to picnic before and during the play. Just don't disrupt your fellow patrons (so that means if you have things in wrapping and what not, maybe wrap in cloth or something that's not going to make a bunch of noise as you open it!).

We were planning to go to the drive in in McHenry, when I saw a special for this one on Living…read moreSocial. (Cars are $30 for general parking and the deal was for $19.) So I jumped on it. We went on their website and saw a decent variety of shows so we made our selection and made the reservation, which is required. It's an hour from our house and it's worth the trip. We arrived an hour and a half before our movie started as they recommend, which was perfect. The lot is big and clean and they are currently accepting less cars due to the pandemic. They have a guy who comes around with a concession cart that has basic snacks and drinks, but we brought our own. (I recommend this.) There are port o potties on both sides and right now everyone has to wear masks when you're away from your car. We packed blankets and pillows too and my daughter and her friend sat in the back of our truck, while we also brought lawn chairs and set those up too. It was a perfect night and a lot of fun! Can't wait to go again.

Ordering tickets online was fast; masked staff scanned tickets, going car to car--all fine…read more We were irritated that aside from being directed where to park (by people w flashlights) before entering into the area for the movie screening, no one ever communicated what was going on, like why the movie started 30 mins later than advertised. It was pretty annoying to have your 2hr movie go from starting at 10:30pm to 11am. We all had sound problems at the start of the movie, and had to turn radio station on and off to get it synced with movie. The only thing that saved this from being a one star review was that the port-a-pottys were ridiculously clean; a staff member went in after each person and sprayed everything down--most sanitized toilet I've used since Covid.

The box office employees were very efficient and moved the cars along quickly. The concession line for popcorn and drinks was very long but the employees moved it along smoothly and they kept the concession area very clean. Popcorn was fresh and hot and best of all, you put the butter on, the hot butter machine is public access. We rented a portable, battery powered Ryobi speaker to listen to the film which was great. It was a nice evening, but the Fall weather temperature drops drastically at night, so if you sit outside of the car, bring blankets. Five stars!

I tried to confirm my party a week in advance and couldn't get ahold of anyone. I received a text from what I thought was a robot? Still not sure if it was but they said they didn't have my reservation despite me saying they had my deposit. Gave me a number to call, which I did 2x and left voicemails, no response. I honestly thought I was getting scammed. 2. They state you need 7 car lengths of room for the truck. You probably only need about 4. The gaming trailer pulled up, hooked up to a Tacoma that was clearly too small to be pulling it. The back end of his truck was tilted down and looked very unprofessional with his busted taillight. The trailer was very dirty on the outside. 3. When I booked this party, I mentioned I needed WiFi because it's a Fortnite birthday. The gaming host didn't complete the update by the time he came to my party and told me it was going to take 4 hours, but 1 TV outside the trailer had it. So now, the birthday boy has to play OUTSIDE the trailer by himself while all his friends were inside. 4. The controllers weren't working. So now my son is almost in tears because he patiently waited an hour (which we only had the trailer for 2 hours) to play his favorite game on his birthday and it still wasn't working. I had to use my own gaming controllers. 5. The "Gaming coach" was a joke. There was literally no interaction with the kids at all. I think he said 3 words the entire time he was here. He was scrolling on his phone the entire time. Yes, I did call. Yes, they gave me $175 off. But it's still not right. I throw big parties for my kids every year and this is the first year I am truly disappointed & still out $350 for a terrible experience. Just trying to help the next mom who puts in weeks of work preparing and planning to make everything special for her kids. Find a different company.
