The security officer was nice, friendly. Concession employees were nice, the food good. However, the older guy behind the counter, where pizza orders are picked up is an asshole. Do not know if he is the owner or manager. Recommend going to Sterling, Illinois to the Midway Drive in. Very friendly staff, and owners.​ read more

The guy at the entrance was very rude for absolutely no reason when my family was just trying to watch a movie. It kinda just ruined the vibe at the beginning.. read more

My friends and I originally went here to have fun, but when we got there they charged per person to get in, which was not advertised. After we got food there and every single item tasted terrible and was not even worth the money we spent. On top of that the food was not being prepared in a safe manner. The worker making hamburgers had ran his UNGLOVED HAND through his hair then touched a burger, then proceeded to while his hand on his buttocks. On top of that, when we got food they had forgotten some of the food we had ordered.After that a person pulled in to our parking spot which we were already parked IN and nearly hit one of my friends. He had gotten nearly 1 inch away from my friend before my friend had jumped up and left her chair. After that though the man proceeded to run OVER our chair. After that though we asked the admissions man to give us a refund, because we were planning on leaving. Keep in mind the movie had not been playing for even five minutes. The man told us he would not give us a full refund, even though we were leaving. All in all, if I could give this place a review with a negative amount of stars, I would. read more

This is the Nazi Germany of Drive ins. Carried in Food/Drink are the persecuted. $9 for an Adult is on par with what I would expect to spend for a film, and at least it is a double feature for that price. Concessions are moderately priced, but the line was constantly wrapped around the building. Perhaps they would be able to have this line move a bit faster if one of their staff wasn't tasked with constantly peeking into cars looking for whatever contraband you may be carrying. Even if that drink you hold is non-alcoholic, if it was not bought on the property, The Gestapo will force you to pour it out. We had at least one car leave before the movie started due to this. Their pre-movie roll recommended to hand over any carried food or drink to be donated to the food pantry. If you are caught with carried in food or drink you will be asked to leave with no refund. It's their policy to be assholes. Quote my girlfriend- "I'm thirsty, but if I get a drink out of the cooler I'll be killed" Water fountain is purposely disabled, via duct tape. Speaking of the movie, they do have the sound broadcasted via radio, but no per-car window speakers. Only loudspeakers from the concession building. If you hate country music, well 1- you are deep in the heart of Hicksville, and 2- the muffled loudspeaker will still be heard in your car. Movie audio will be constantly interrupted by concessions announcing people's pizzas are ready. Restrooms are comparable to a truckstop, even with a sign threatening you, assuming you have already graffiti-ed the stalls. Toilets overflowed during our stay. (With wet floor sign, so they knew the problem existed. ) Although the entire place smells like they are grilling manure. Contraband consumed- Twizzlers, Reese's, 2 Cans Of Coca-Cola. You clearly are getting enough money from concessions, and feel free to encourage people to buy drinks on the property, but calm the fuck down about carry-ins. Never returning, enjoy the review. read more

Cost is cheap enough for 2 digital movies but when when we went, the movie started almost an hour after the scheduled start time with no explanation. There were additional previews which delayed the start of the movie too. Better customer service or at least notifications would have been nice. As a result, we didn't get out of the theater until 3:30 AM. Not that I expected an early night, but the delays without explanation were just awful. read more

I went to Sky-Vu last year for the first time having heard a lot about it. I usually go to the Highway 18 Drive In, which is great but a longer drive for me. Being a fan of Drive-In theaters I wanted to check this one out so I took the family to Sky-Vu and boy was that a mistake. When I got up to the stand to pay, the guy at the ticket counter asked me if I had been there before, I said no and then he grilled me on their food and drink policy and asked if I had anything. I had a couple of half consumed water bottles so he demanded that they be thrown away. Then he went on to ask me where I heard about the drive-in, almost in an interrogative way. I asked him why and he started grumbling about wanting to know if it was worth his money doing all the advertising he's done. So it turns out this was actually the owner I was dealing with, he was very antagonistic and unfriendly instead of welcoming me and trying to create an experience that would draw me back as a customer. I hate to slag Drive-Ins because they are so rare today but I will never go back to this one. Instead I'll make the extra trek to go to the Highway 18 Drive-In. I'd rather spend the extra gas money than to spend it on the rude owner of Sky-Vu. read more

I have not been to a drive in in like 30 years so I would say this would be a fairly new experience for me. I like that it is digital ie sound out of the radio. My date grew up in Monroe, so has been there alot. Ok so the pizza not good. They don't cook it long enough, so very doughy. The popcorn sucks. It was gross. Just tasted funny. I did like the soft pretzel with cheese. No combos so don't expect it. Also we went on Saturday 7-9-16. They didn't start the movie until 1000 pm! Why? The way I saw it, people were lined up for food. They wanted to sell. That being said. 9.00 for two movies is awesome! I also don't agree with the food police. But maybe next time, I will sneak something in. ;) read more

I wrote a mixed review for this place and posted it a few days ago. My vision was clouded at that time because I love outdoor theaters so much and didn't have the heart to throw this place under the bus. But now after a few days I have to admit that this place sucks big time and under the bus is where I am throwing it. The main problem here is that they have a no food and no drink policy. No alcohol makes perfect sense. But the no food or drink from outside does not. It is entirely wrong-headed and made me feel like I was at some fundamentalist church retreat where we all had to follow some weird arcane rules because that is what pleases God. Ugh! The way they inform you of the policy and threaten you with confiscation of contraband and eviction from the grounds made me very uncomfortable as if someone was going to come around and check to see what I was eating. I know that this policy results in poor attendance for their shows. I also think they are completely unaware of this effect. Otherwise, why would they continue to practice this? We brought in two ice teas, one coke, a bag of chips, a bag of fritos, some milk duds and some whoppers. Because of the weird rules they were tucked out of sight. I figure everyone else did the same thing and some folks probably had some beers too. Now because they bragged about their delicious food that was available I decided to order a few things just to support the outdoor if nothing else. The pizza was pretty simple. Price wasn't outrageous but it was nothing special. I can buy the same pizza for 4 bucks at the grocery. Mine was 15 which was expected at this place. But it wasn't all that good. The popcorn was just passable as well. Apparently this is a fourth generation business and I suspect this is the generation that is going to run it into the ground with their playing this game of food-police. If they are going to do this they shouldn't force us to have to buy crap at the concession stand. You have two doors to choose from. You can either eat this can or worms or you can surrender your snacks and go home. Enjoy the show! IF we don't catch you!! I have decided to never return due to this food policy. Outdoor theaters are supposed to be fun and feeling like you are being watched and under threat of being kicked out is zero fun. read more

This past Memorial Day weekend (2012), I was driving back to Chicago from camping at Yellowstone Lake State Park in Blanchardville, WI (a great place too!). By pure luck, my car was stopped on the highway to wait near the entrance to this wonderful drive-in cinema, which was showing Men In Black 2. I had promised my kids (12 and 8) that I would take them to see the movie. My son saw what was playing at the Sky-Vu and then asked me "What's a drive-in?" At this point, I had to stop and let my kids have this experience, which was a part of my youth and sadly has disappeared from anywhere near where I live. The Sky-Vu is a wonderful place that is very reasonably priced. The concessions were great (try the pizza) and it was nice to see families, groups of (well-behaved) teens, couples on dates, and older married couples all come out to see a movie. The sound and digital picture were great. My kids loved it. If you get the chance, you have got catch a movie here. read more

Uou have to wonder who is choosing the movies. Opening night 2015 they pair fast furious 7 a pg13 with 50 shades of gray an r rated film an certainly not a movie a parent would feel comfortable viewing with their teenage children. When so many other 0g13 films were available for pairing. Certainly not family focused. The ither complaint is high price an we all remember growing up making popcorn going to outdoor but now the message is no carry in, not even candy. Well many families I work with have gluten, or other allergies or children to young to eat what concession makes so evidently these families are excluded. A once chetished memory of our youth is gone . I will add I ordered a pizza which was very small gor the price included ingredients didnt order an was tasteless. read more
