    Such a great nostalgic filled night! We love they are keeping this going and you really can't beat 2 movies for the price and snacks weren't bad either. We got there early and got a really good spot and our daughter played on the playground which was a bonus! We ordered Chinese which was walking distance in the plaza with schnucks next door and brought some things from home as well. Can't wait to go back!

    This was our second visit to Skyview, and it was as good as our first visit, last Spring. Surprisingly difficult information to locate beforehand is that Skyview is a Cash admittance business. While it is not plainly posted on their website, it is prominently displayed at their entrance. So... bring ample cash to cover your party's admission. The physical setup is dialed in, parking is organized by "white" spaces for regular sized cars and "orange" marked ones for bigger vehicles, like vans. You're told which to use at admission, and this ensures everyone's view of the screen is unobstructed. The movie itself started on time, the quality of the projection and audio were also great. We brought our foods this time so I can't comment on the food stand. Our family of 7, really appreciated Skyview's "kids night," as all kids under 12 had free admission. For $20 ($10 per adult), we were able to take our family to this newly released kid's movie. What a bargain... practically unheard of in these times! Combine that with their renovated playground and it's really unmatched anywhere else. Most attendees were respectful of others, though I did see a strong usher presence at the ready, so that may have helped! Skyview is a gem, definitely worth the visit and particularly so on family night if you've got a load of kids!

    Drive-in theaters are always fun but there's just a cool nostalgic feeling about Skyview. To be able to bring your own food and drink for everyone you can pack in your vehicle is a savings of about $100 from the regular movie theater. We still end up going to concession to get the standard popcorn and hot dogs because why not lol. The staff could spend a second addressing the bathrooms. They're nasty guys... We set up the bed of the truck with a blow up mattress, blankets, pillows and hang out for an hour and a half.

    Threatening weather?

    Glad you're here so we can offer the entire family a unique experience. It's a summer tradition to go to the drive in. High profile vehicles in the back. Tune in to your movie through the cars radio. Bring your own bag chairs, popcorn and drinks or visit their somewhat sketchy concession stand. Bathrooms are sort of old and run down, but all we're working. We will be back! But will check radar first. No refunds rain or storms.

    This couple does the drive in with style.

    This theater doesn't have walls or a roof! 1 Star! Ok, just kidding. But reading some of the negative reviews on here are about as ridiculous. Skyview is a drive in theater so it isn't meant to be a luxury theater experience with heated leather recliners. It is very much what you make of it. I hadn't been to Skyview in decades. We decided to go early in the summer because it is a Covid safe way of seeing a movie. Plus they have been showing great classic movies. Who doesn't want to see Ghost Busters, Caddy Shack, Jaws, Sixteen Candles, etc on the big screen again?! Plus I love the vintage ads for their concessions. We have become regulars, going pretty much every Saturday. You get to see 2 movies for $10 per person. That is a great deal in my book. Plus you can bring your own snacks and drinks. There is an inexpensive concession stand if you'd like. And yes there are bathrooms. Sure they are dated (and the women's bathroom could use locks on the stalls) but you won't be hanging out in the bathroom so who cares if they aren't fancy. What you will need: Show up and get your car in line before the box office opens at 7 pm. Cash for the tickets. Folding lawn chairs or some other way to sit to watch the movies. A portable radio (don't rely on your car radio for the audio since your battery will likely die). A mask to wear into the restroom or concession stand. Pack jackets and blankets because even if it is warm during the day it can be cool or even cold after dark. And bring a fun attitude! The staff is nice and helpful but they will definitely call you out on your crap if you're bothering the people around you (as they should). You can also bring your dogs (hopefully just well behaved ones, which mine don't really qualify as). What not to bring: Pot. Yes it is now fall but they are still open. Bundle up and come on out. Support a local landmark and see some great movies (including new movies). Oh, and if it rains an event out like what happened with one of the live comedian shows recently, blame mother nature and not the staff or performer. This is 2020. Shit is gonna happen.

    There were a lot of great things about this drive in, as well as some things I would change. Good things: play area, concession, security and staff What i would change: surrounding lights, painted poles, hatches untied The play area was very nice. The staff are great. They tell big kids to calm down and they help protect the younger kids. I saw one boy being rude and endangering other kids. The staff member had him escorted to his parents (they were not in the play area with him). Theres a lot of food available in the concession (see pic). If you want something custom made, they will do that too. The staff were nice and helped ensure safety. Theres a grocery store not far from the drive in. While that can be great, the lights definitely take away from the movie. Not much you can do about that, though. The cars here are parked one deep, which is great. But the poles are color coded. White is for cars and orange is SUVs and trucks. The white ones are in the middle and orange in the back and sides. This is frustrating for people that own crossovers. And very frustrating for people parked behind someone who has a hatchback. I wish they would make people tie their hatchback so that it isn't higher than their vehicle's roof. Some drive ins do that and i really appreciate when they do. One other thing. There are bathrooms and portapotties. The bathrooms do not have circulating air and are old. But they work fine and you have a good place to wash your hands with soap.

    Anyone hotbox during the movie lol?

    If you mean smoking pot in your car with the windows up, we frown upon that. In fact, when you are caught we will ask you to leave with no refund.

    What App are people using to get the audio on your phones?

    flabbergasted this place only has 7 reviews. it's a phenomenal summer activity!…read more first of all this place is so well kept. they have a decent amount of bathrooms that are pretty nice. bring the kids! they have a large grass area for the kids to play before the show they have dinner options including lots of food options for picky eaters like chicken fingers. they also had lots of themed movie buckets and cups just like the movie theatre! you can also buy a radio for $30, and if you return it at the end of the show they'll give you back $25. i would definitely look around at the people next to you before buying one. we sat near a family that had a huge speaker. i paid online it was $7 a person. it ended up raining all night for us so we did have to sit inside our truck. the gates opened at 6 and the movie didn't start till 9. we went for opening weekend of how to train your dragon and it also happened to be pickle fest. it wasn't too busy at all, but i think the rain did keep people away.

    I came here to watch Hadestown because it had the earliest showing out of all of the theaters…read morenearest to me. So charming! I love the art deco lamps and style that was sprinkled throughout the building, but especially in the actually theater room. It was nice to watching jazz sad songs and looking over at the deco lamps faintly glowing - such a vibe! The theater I was in was also small (Dreamlounger), so I think it's great spot of solo movie dates. My husband and I don't have the same taste in films, so I found these much better than the larger theater rooms. I hope to watch Six the Musical here if that's an option! Note: I think staffing shortages are hitting all movie theaters because even if you have a ticket already, you still need to check in with the Box Office. Oh - also, there is so much parking!

    Go to the theater!…read more For a date night, the spouse and I treated ourselves to a double header back to back movie night. We played arcade games (could use a few more). Had some cocktails (ask about the specials). Ordered some foods and later came back for popcorn and candy. I will say their brand of popcorn and "butter" is way better than b&b theatre. Yes this trip was costly, but we had some gift cards. We should all be able to enjoy ourselves and have a good time without fearing the price tag every once in awhile. This location is widely accessible and even has an elevator for the big screen.
