A few days later, my wife, my son, my grandsons, and I returned to watch Toy Story. We had a wonderful experience both times. I really appreciate how clean and well-maintained the theater is. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming--from the people greeting guests at the door to those serving food and drinks. Their excellent service made our visits even more enjoyable. We had such a great time that we'll definitely be back. Thank you to everyone for helping make our family movie nights so memorable!

Derp. The IMAX theater(s) is pretty massive, seating easily a couple hundred people all comfortably tucked into their own recline-able seats. The screen is ginormous, and here's a tip: gets tickets at least row E and later. The first two rows are WAY too close to enjoy the experience. Downside? Stupid Hollywood advertising. We're there for a three-ish hour long show and we get 25-30 minutes of COMING SOON. Jeez. Couldn't that meeting just have been an email? I know the studios are laying out bazillions to make and cast films anymore, especially with streamers having their own production studios, but this old cranky man DOES NOT LIKE that much advertising. Booooo. Tickets are the same as pretty much anywhere else, with discounts for matinees and seniors. The theaters are clean and comfy, and the selection is generally great. It's the movies, so go enjoy.

There was no question that I'd even need to shop around for a better deal or experience. Mike was top notch professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. On the big day, he quickly set up the equipment, played an additional memory slideshow and music, and made a bunch of our neighborhood kiddos weeks with his popcorn machine. The sound quality and screen quality was perfect, even as a Christopher Nolan film usually demands an IMAX. For all future movie set ups for our family and probably our neighborhood, we'll be using Backyard Box Office KC

We connected with Michael about hosting a movie night for our volunteers and staff at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, and he immediately responded to our request and scheduled a time for a site visit. From our first interaction, he was friendly, genuine, on time, and communicative without fail. He has immense knowledge about his industry & equipment and has an impressive arsenal of processes in place so that his team is ready for anything. We had to postpone our first date due to weather, and Michael was in communication with us the whole time we were working to reschedule. We even had a hiccup with our planned site the night of our rescheduled event, and he and his team pivoted their entire set-up process like it was nothing. As a person in the events industry, I cannot say enough about their unwaveringly calm demeanor and creative problem solving. The night of the event, they arrived with plenty of time to set up the screen, sound system, lights, and popcorn machine. Everything was set up on time and looked organized. The screen was bright and displayed the picture beautifully, and the sound system was top notch. Michael and his team worked tirelessly to make our event seamless so that our staff could enjoy the event as well, and they thought of every little thing. They were prepared for anything & the pinnacle of professionalism, and I cannot wait to work with them again!

If you're like me, maybe you've been too busy to notice The Rio as you whiz down the jam packed,…read moresuburban sprawling artery known more commonly as Metcalf Avenue. Just off of Metcalf, nestled in Downtown Overland Park, you'll find the theater's electric blue and pink bright lights of this one-screen theater, and truly one of the most enjoyable movie theaters in Kansas City. The Rio was built in 1947 and has been updated somewhat recently to blend the old feel of the theater with the new. You buy your ticket from the street and then enter into the tiny lobby to pick up extremely low priced candy and popcorn out of the big, vintage popcorn maker. There are so many movie theaters trying to create a special experience to get people away from their Netflix and into the movies. The Rio already has a special energy about it that is nearly impossible to replicate. In the movie we saw this past weekend, there was a 3 minute video right before to movie started. It featured a guy across the street from The Rio, artfully shot and talking to his buddy about how his girlfriend was definitely the one. The audience started murmuring as people wondered what this was about, and then they quickly picked up the fact that this guy was about to come into the theater and propose to his girlfriend. Pretty cool way to kick off the movie, and a pretty cool way to show off the little gem tucked away off of Metcalf.

This is a single screen theater that operates in a pretty old school way (in a good way). You buy…read moreyour ticket on the street - much less expensive than big name theaters. The lobby has a small concession stand with some snacks - again, less expensive than bigger theaters! The inside of the theater is like a blast from the past. The employees are super nice. No stadium seating, neon palm trees on the walls. The chairs are squeaky but comfortable, and the average age of patrons is at least middle age. Somehow, that combination is charming and endearing and I love coming here on a Friday night. Just a warning: the movies aren't the top box earners. They're artsy and unique most of the time, but lots are worth seeing. Also noteworthy: they frequently have a groupon! $15 for two tickets and two popcorns. Pretty good if you ask me!

An older couple that just ooze that small town/country hospitality that makes you want to come out every weekend for the featured movies. They always have current movies and the biggest summer hits. One of the most notable things about this drive in is how clean and well kept it is. It would be a real shame to see this one go the way that so many others across the country have. The speakers are loud and clear. The restrooms are exceptionally clean and well maintained with what appears to be newer fixtures. The lot is pothole free. You can just tell the owners take pride in the business. The concession area has a small, but typical movie theater menu and the prices are right in line with other theaters if not actually less expensive. (A large bucket of popcorn and large drink will cost you less than $10.) The cost of the movie is the best in the area at only $7 for adults, $1 for children 3-11, and children under 3 are free. You really can't beat the cost for a family night of entertainment. This drive in is at risk of closing due to the requirement and cost to upgrade equipment to digital and this may be their last season open. Make sure you visit and support what is a dying business across the nation. Stop by their FB group to see the various fundraising events that the fans of the theater have started in an effort to help save the drive in. https://www.facebook.com/groups/123342647687916/members/

So if you loved drive ins, you'll like this. There's giant sized games and table games, along with a full service bar on deck! It's right in Crossroads off Broadway so parking is a hassle. Now cinema magic. No matter the seat you purchase, you've got a nice view. Ours were the Adirondack Chairs but I think the Adirondack Love Seat option might be cool too. It's first come, first-served seating. Your chair has a seat cushion with a headrest pillow. You receive your own headset for movie sounds upon Checkin. You can order from the menu right from your seat, at the bar or box office. Prior to your movie there's pre show content and trivia and even karaoke. Music is playing over the rooftop sound system. Single chairs were on right side of the aisles and love seats on the left facing the movie wall. The menu includes snacks, movie candy, mocktails or cocktails, choose your mood.. mine was "Am I the Drama?" AND it was drama compliant! The popcorn was really good, no messy butter, it's already pooped in. Pricing for things matches what you see at Dine n Movies elsewhere. I loved the whole experience. All movie staffers were friendly & helpful. We came early , like around the time of movie before ours - SINNERS, but staff were pretty cool about it! One of bartenders Rolando checked on us and was even kind enough to be our photographer. Enjoy the rooftop vibes, be careful stepping around as well. Movie time. At some points during our movie you could hear city sounds that were really loud like sirens or loud cars but overall the movie sound headphones were good. We had our own blankets so we were comfy and they have some for purchase. We did have a wait on our snack order so I went to get it at Box Office before the movie started. I received my drink promptly which again was da bomblicious with: white blended rum, elderflower, passionfruit, splash press, jalapeño, mint! YUP! I'd definitely enjoy rooftop cinema again!

Even walking in right during the dinner rush, I managed to slip in and grab a front-row seat at the bar. Service was on point from the jump--greeted immediately, had a cold beer in hand shortly after, and my burger order was taken with a few custom special instructions handled with a genuine smile. Despite the crowd, the food came out lickety-split. The kitchen nailed the medium-rare cook, which made for a stellar burger. The steak fries were a bit too thick and potato-heavy for my personal taste, but I forgot to ask for them extra crispy, so that one's on me. (If you like crispy fries... Don't forget to let the friendly staff know.. unlike I did ) It took a few extra minutes to catch the check once I finished eating, but right as I was about to wave the bartender down, she brought it over with great timing. Great food, fast kitchen, and attentive bar service under dinner-rush pressure along with a pretty clean restaurant. A fantastic way to celebrate the holiday.
