I have a soft spot for drive-in theaters. This was the first time in years and I enjoyed it. I used to go all the time when I was a kid in Texas. The cool thing is you can enjoy the movie without someone kicking your seat or some stranger ruining the movie. I was able to kick my feet up and recline in my seat. You turn your radio to a particular station to hear the movie. Feel free to crank that shit up as loud as you like. It was only $8 for an adult ticket. It's nice being able to pick up food and eat it during the movie. There's a pizza joint and a restaurant called Venus with a drive thru nearby. Just make sure you get some concession items to keep the drive-in in business.

Fun Fun!

Lots of fun and the snack bar has many options... even glow sticks if you forget a flashlight. You can also rent lawn chairs - who knew?!

First drive in  in 15 years....nice night for a drive in 55 degs

2 movies for the price of one. Brings back back memories of going with my mom and dad when I was a kid. Pulling up in the station wagon. Also playing on the playground equipment.

Great view from bed of truck.

This movie theater has gone through a lot of changes in the past ten years. They do not have the…read morespec for a full recliner experience, however they did upgrade at least 1 row in their smaller theaters and 2 rows in each of their bigger theaters to have recliners. The recliners are comfy, cozy, and have a good view of the screen. The staff keeps the premises and auditoriums very clean, despite how busy it gets. This movie theater is prone to bouts of understaffing, which is when you get a messier premises, but they are on top of things regularly which I appreciate. My biggest problem is with how expensive this theater has gotten. Charging almost $10 for a drink, and then charging almost the same price for a popcorn, is a bit outrageous. It used to be that you could get a large combo for $9.25, and they did away with the medium size entirely. It also used to have a nice and spacious concession stand/ ticket counter, which is now cluttered/ crowded with stanchions and candy/ merchandise that nobody buys. I also do miss when seasonings were included at the butter stations. That may be the fault of the company as a whole, but it is sorely missed. Their new IMAX area is quite lovely. Definitely feels like a VIP experience walking in and through it.

Movie was good. Theater had trash in the row I was in. Not just a wrapper. But empty popcorn…read morecontainers candy wrappers and popcorn itself on the floor along with drink cups!

You can't go wrong with a double feature drive in! For single movies, this may be a bit pricey, but…read moreit's worth it for double features. Bring some lawn chairs to be more comfortable. No alcohol allowed! But snacks and NA drinks are ok. They have a concession stand or you can order pizza from inside the arena. Port a potties are available unless you want to walk in the arena. While the front rows are reserved for cars and the further rows for SUVs and trucks, it can still be difficult to see if you have a big vehicle in front of you. Occasionally, someone will also leave their headlights on. I found that prices have risen since I last visited, but it's still a great deal for a fun night!

We tried this drive in over the weekend and had a lot of fun!

They allow you to bring your own snacks and (non-alcoholic) beverages and the spaces are large enough to accommodate camp chairs if you prefer not to sit in your car. We ended up throwing a bunch of throw pillows in the trunk and had a great experience. There is a concession stand and the restaurant in the hockey facility allows you to order food, which we did. The food wasn't impressive and was fairly overpriced for what it was, but they had many options, just not very much for dietary restrictions, so definitely recommend bringing some snacks/eating beforehand. From the perspective of urban planning, this is such an ingenious use of a parking lot that otherwise doesn't get as much use in the summer months. We love land uses that create space for people to gather and enjoy entertainment without having to change the overall location!

I had not been to a drive-in in decades, so I was very much looking forward to going back to one…read more While, as is not uncommon, my childhood memories really grew as time went on, I can't say I was disappointed. We say "The Incredibles 2" and "Avengers: Infinity War". I would like a larger screen, but this was not bad. I do like the audio coming thru your car radio. Obviously your audio quality will depend on your car audio system, but it worked just fine for us. The place is obviously very dated and has seen some better days, but there were a lot of families with kids and the crowd seemed to be very happy. Also the employees were very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms, while adequate, could stand to be a bit tidier. I mention it because the nights show is typically 4+ hours (double features, remember)so it is not at all unreasonable to think you may need to use the restrooms at some point. These places make their money on the concessions. We got some popcorn and it was fine. We did take some sandwiches and stuff of our own though in a cooler. Wish they had a better selection. All in all, it was a very positive experience. I would go back more often if I lived closer. (From royal oak, its almost a 2 hour drive...I was visiting some friends in Port Huron though, so that's how I wound up there.) If you want a fun night with the kids, this is a bit of nostalgia that is well worth trying out.

A working, open Drive In??!?!?! YES!…read more This place rocks in the summer!! They usually have a great selection of movies too! Something everyone in the car will enjoy! $7 per adult (summer 2012) for 2 first run movies is pretty good! They do have a concession stand too!

Wednesday Sept 9th 2026 I took my 4 year old grandson and my Mom to Birch Run theater for the 20th…read moreanniversary Cars movie. We were the only 3 people in the theater, so asking to turn down the volume was not going to ruin anyone's "experience". I asked three times to lower the volume, which was beyond obnoxious. I mean come on, it's a movie for children, can we not read the room! My Mom and I were able to tell they did lower the volume some, but was told that was as low as they could lower it Really?! It was so beyond for a child that we told them we wanted our money back and we left. $49 for 2 adults, 1 child, 2 bottled waters, and 2 small popcorns.

Upon arrival at the theater, I checked in at the front desk/concession area. I received my concessions that I pre-purchased. I was alone with my child as a single parent. I grabbed 2 of their trays for the seats to hold the popcorns and drinks and began juggling all of that alone. I proceeded to my theater and was met by a staff member that said they were still cleaning and we would need to wait in the hall. When I asked where I could place the trays and food I was juggling I was told "I don't know" I asked for a manager and I had 3 "managers" come up to me. I explained that I was juggling all of this as a single parent and they said " maybe don't come so early". I said that the staff member should advise the theater doesn't open until 30 mins before a show and she said " we can't catch everyone".... I was then told "enjoy my show there is nothing we can do for you." Nothing like a theatre that isn't "family friendly" and doesn't care about the customer

The Romeo Theatre has been on my list of old school theaters to visit for a while now and I managed…read moreto get to it before the Grim Reaper shutters the place. The owner still hadn't set a hard date for closing when I visited last week but is saying September so if you read this soon you might be able to hit last call at Ye Olde Cinema. It's strip mall location might not have the romance of a classic stand alone single auditorium theater but there is a thrift store just a stone's throw away and hey, business owners have to work with what they can get. Two theaters give this a little variety and it definitely doesn't feel like a multiplex. The popcorn is much ballyhooed to the point they sell it to go for folks who don't even want to buy a movie ticket and they're discussing doing pop ups with the popcorn machine after this 40 year old institution goes the way of the dodo. I found it better than most but nothing out of this world either. It scores high with the butter but the kernel size is smallish with more crumbs than you'd usually find. I do greatly appreciate Romeo Theatre offers a small popcorn and drink combo at a cheap price. All the corporate multiplexes charge nearly the same price for a small drink and popcorn as they do for a large combo leading me to gouge myself on more unhealthy snacks than I'd otherwise consume and oftentimes throwing so many leftovers in the trash bin. My last trip to Emagine I took my 3/4 full monstrous cardboard popcorn bucket home with me, put tinfoil over it and it lasted several more nights by which point it was far from appetizing. No such nonsense like that here though. Admission was reasonable, too. I'd already seen The Odyssey and I knew the end here was nearing so I opted to see The Brink of War, a misnamed talkfest starring a miscast Jeff Daniels as Ronald Reagan and the always excellent Jared Harris having a second go as a Russian as Gorbachev. I think the filmmakers got Gorbachev a little confused with Khrushchev as Gorbie lost his composure and pounded the table 4 or 5 different times. It wasn't the worst movie though it wasn't the most subtle at giving propaganda at certain points. As other reviewers have noted cup holders attached to the seat in front of you can pose potential problems but even with the eminent closure I had no problem finding a spot with an empty seat in front of me. Everyone in that theater less than a third full looked like they could remember the principal characters in that Iceland summit. I'm glad I made the trek out past 30 Mile though I might be kicking myself if a much more appealing film gets shown before the lights dim here for the last time.

Wonderful theater with small town friendly service and modern comfy seats…read more Very clean. Great experience.
