It is an experience but I have to say that it's a little congested for my taste. Also the prices are a little higher than I would think they should be. The one that I really liked was up in the thousand island region. I think part of the congestion is due to the fact that they done have any other theatres that are too close by. Perhaps when they kids get older it'll be a different experience but as far as for a date night with the hubby, rather do an indoor theatre in the city for that price. read more

Great family experience! Definitely bring pillows for cushion, sitting in the back of the hatch gets uncomfortable after a while. Next time we're bringing the pickup to sit in the tailgate. Couldn't use my car for sound bc my lights don't turn off, my parking lights stay on. :( But our neighboring cars turned theirs up so we could hear. read more

Awesome summer time activity! For just $10 they feature two movies for you to enjoy. Very organized parking spaces and easy to view huge screen. Perfect for a romantic night date deviating from the normal boring movie theaters. A definitely must try experience. read more

Good screens (3!) and one is never too far away but the sound was way off from the picture on the screen and there is no light in or over the ports-sans. It's a long difficult drive from NYC and my kid as thrilled but even he was bothered by how badly it was synced. Staff was maybe apathetic or oblivious? They seemed so at gate too and directed a number of people to the wrong screens. Unlikely to return, which is a shame. read more

The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because of the sound, they need to readjust their output channels. Other than that, this is a FANTASTIC piece of Americana. Get there a little on the early side on the weekends, it does get packed. The 2nd double feature pretty much started right after the 1st, no commercials or anything. The toilets are fine, think campground. Bring a small flashlight to walk to the bathroom and point at the ground. Be careful of drinking, the cops had a check point set up as we were leaving one night. read more

Love this place..old school drive in..fair prices..great movies..very nice staff..when I was a kid, our family was always at drive in theaters in the 1970s..now I bring my own family..I drive nearly two hours from Queens,NY . If you've never experienced a drive in theater ..definitely check out the Warwick drive in..Great place..come early..there's an animal sanctuary petting zoo nearby..restaurants..ice cream shop..bowling too..yup..5 stars plus.. read more

What can I say.....we are the luckiest town to have a drive in!!! Truly a jewel and a destination to treasure in Warwick!!

Okay first of all if you planing to sit outside the car bring your FM radio with headphones because some people have their car engine on and you cant hear the thing is that the food is bad burgers taste like school burgers they pricey ! N not worth it so i recommend you to bring YOUR OWN SNACKS now bathrooms NEEDS TO BE RECONSTRUCTED BECAUSE JESUS! They small as hell once you get inside youll feel like a giant like its veryyy uncomfortable!! And the porta potty are sooooooo Disgusting piss on the floor n shit i mean like this place need fixing well the bathrooms needs a bigger area some space! I dislike coming here when my gf family invites me read more

What is there not to love about seeing a double feature for less than the cost of an adult ticket to an AMC?? Plus you get to enjoy it from the comfort of your own car/lawn chair/blanket! I truly feel like I am traveling back in time when I visit here. If you arrive early, you can usually avoid a line to get in, and get to pick your spot. I recommend bring cash as there is a $2 charge for credit cards when used to purchase tickets. If you have a larger car, you might be directed to park in the rows further back so that the view of tiny cars aren't blocked. Not to worry, the view is still good! Dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash or in the car and can remain quiet during the movie. Bathrooms are available in the from of Porta Potties and there is a snack bar that offers a decent variety of food & drink which I have yet to try because I usually bring my own. But I know that is where the money is made and definitely want to support this place so that it stays open for years to come! In keeping with the times, they actually have an app for your phone now! Definitely add this place to your summer to-do list! read more

Warwick Drive In - Old fashion pre-movie ads - Drive-In Theater Near Me - Warwick, New York

One of the few drive in movies left around. Love going here. Can't beat the price and they have three screens. The snack bar is not the best but it's a drive in so you can really just bring whatever you like read more

My wife and I took our kids here (4&2) for their first movie. The staff was wonderful and polite. One woman heard it was my boys first move and went and got them glow necklaces to wear. The concession prices were very reasonable and a good selection of classic movie candies. 3 screens each offering a double feature you can't beat it for the price and a classic experience. read more

I liked it here. I ended up using a port a potty for the first time which completely grossed me out but I did find out after that horrible experience that the do have bathrooms. We ended up buying snacks because of all the reviews about ppl bringing stuff in and felt like that wouldn't be right so we went for the full experience. The popcorn was good nachos weren't. My friend had popcorn chicken and fried and enjoyed it. It's a great experience and I would come again. But just making sure that I go to the actual bathroom first. They do take cards for the snack bar.. just has to be over 10. read more

Warwick Drive In - Drive-In Theater Near Me - Warwick, New York

This is my second time ever going to the Drive-In! The first time was when I lived in Cali, and I loved it! This place is also Awesome! The place shows Double feature packages to choose from for the night. Please be sure to bring cash, as tickets and food are cash only. We arrived 1 hour early, which is the way to do it if you want a good spot, got some popcorn and kicked back and relaxed. Next time I am definitely gonna have to bring some beer and lawn chairs to have the ultimate experience! If you're curious on what we saw, it was 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' and 'X-Men-Days of Future Past'. The Apes movie was great, but the X-Men Movie was a Yawn-fest! Here let me summarize it for you to spare you any pain....... SPOILER ALERT! FOR REAL! SPOILER ALERT! IF YOU READ THEN YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME!!!! Blah Blah Blah back story blah blah blah I'd rather walk than read minds blah blah blah I feel sorry for myself blah blah more boring talking blah blah blah Oh look we changed the future!!! read more

A throw back to the old days; Warwick drive in has everything you need for a great drive in experience. Three big screens with double features, a snack bar with reasonably priced treats, only down side is the audio that comes through the radio is staticy with some showings. Overall a fun place read more

Warwick Drive In - Screen 2 on a perfect fall night - Drive-In Theater Near Me - Warwick, New York

I will never go back here. They are unorganized, disrespectful and have no understanding of customer service. The owner was rude and nasty, because his employees sent us to the wrong designated area, we missed the beginning of our movie, had to pack up our chairs, blankets, etc. and move to the correct location. Finally got to our movie, was directed to park at the end of the isle but their personnel, and had to unpack to car once more so we could watch our movie. 10 minutes later, a very rude gentleman comes over and says we couldn't park there because it was a fire lane, and they would move us to the back row. We were already in the 2nd to last row, despite arriving an hour before our movie started to get a good seat, and the screen was difficult to see. I told the man nicely that I was not packing up again, and they would need to get the manager, so I could speak with them. The manager arrived 10 minutes later and proceeded to tell us we needed to pack up the car again, and move, even though their employee said we could park there. I finally said if I were to pack up again, I would be leaving and I wanted a full refund. The didn't want to refund my money, threatened to have me removed from the premises without my compensation and threatened to call the police on me! I finally was able to cause a scene and get some of my money back, but I will NEVER return, and I will NEVER recommend this place to anyone! I will be sure to tell everyone I know that this place is disorganized, dirty, dysfunctional, and disrespectful. Would give this 0 stars if I could. read more

Lovely staff, beautiful location, great environment, good choice for any party, date, family gathering, etc.

I went to go see a drive in movie with my friend during the summer and we found this place and it was a cheap price for two movies. It was a fun experience, i would go back again. read more

Seriously an awesome experience. My family and I travel there several times a summer--there is nothing better! Have dinner at the Farmer's Market across the way. A drive in movie is the ultimate summertime experience! read more

Love it went to watch IT! And it was the best movie experience ever. it was affordable and easy drive up from where i live.

Great experience! Went here for a date and it was well worth the hour and a half drive. We didn't buy the food they have or use the restrooms here so I can't say much on that. However, the screens were big and the view was great (even from the back row where we were). We went on a Tuesday night and even arrived 5 minutes after the movie started and there was still plenty of parking space. Even more space when many people left after the first movie so if you wanted to, you could move closer if you're staying for the second movie. Awesome summer night experience! read more

Love going to the drive in it reminds me of my childhood and Warwick is a great place.

Big ripoff! Brought the kids to see Scary Movie couldn't see anything on the screen. The movie itself is dark which made it impossible to see anything against the dark sky. We were told upon entering by the attendant taking our $$$$$$ that the movie was dark.... but we never expected to literally see nothing. DON'T buy anything at the ripoff snack bar. Oh and they were showing a kid movie next to showing the J Lo Hustle movie. Not good with car loads of children. Common sense lacking here for sure. Also, should have attendants telling people to shut their lights off in their cars. Screens are in pretty bad shape too. We tried! read more

Who doesn't love the drive-in? I love it. It's clean, the staff has always been friendly & there's just a charm about it no place else can beat. One kind woman has even given out free tickets before - I still have mine & plan on using them this summer! read more

Having never been to a drive-in theater, I wanted to experience one while they still exist. I enjoyed it a lot and highly recommend that you try it if you have the opportunity. Since it was my first time and I could not find this, I think this brief guide might help other first timers to the drive-in: 1. Arrive at least an hour early. The place fills up quickly, especially the better locations to view. Plus, if you get there late, it is tricky to park and everyone there gets to watch you make a fool of yourself. Before the show can be a very social experience. People eat, lay out and talk, bring footballs and throw, etc. 2. It's a double feature. That wasn't very clear to me from their site / etc. 3. Park on the ridge that is the highest above the ridge below it - whichever that may be - in approximately the middle of the area. If there is a small car already parked on the row in front of you, park directly behind it. Otherwise, you may end up with a huge SUV or truck parked directly in front of you. Oh, and don't assume you can park in front of an empty place and that it will stay empty. Nearly every single slot will fill by the time the show starts. 4. Bring food, a cooler with drinks, anything you want to eat (if you like), but no alcohol. There is a ShopRite just about 500 feet from the entrance of the theater, so you can grab stuff there. (I hear you can sneak in alcohol, but they will confiscate it and possibly remove you if you are caught.) 5. Bring lawn chairs, blankets, pillows, etc. You can sit/lay right in front of your car if it is nice out. Good idea to bring a hoodie too, even in the summer, as it can get chilly. Oh, and some bug spray might come in handy. 6. Bring cash. The admission fee and food at the place are cash only. 7. A flashlight can be handy for going to the bathroom if it is a dark night (ie, no moon/cloudy). 8. The radio. They do not use a box that you pull into your car anymore, but instead use an FM radio station. So you will either need to play it through your car's speakers, or bring a radio to listen on. If you plan to use your car, spend some time testing that. Most cars these days have a huge, bright screen (or two or three) that come on when the car key is in the accessory position, and that will ruin your viewing, so you might want to plan to have a towel to put over the dash, or bring a decent battery powered radio. 9. During the show, be considerate. You do not need to lock your car while you sit in front of it. It's doubtful anyone will try to steal from you, and unlocking it will flash your lights at everyone in the area. Generally try to avoid turning on your car lights to the degree that you can, and to avoid honking your horn or turning on your car alarm. (One car turned on their alarm for about 60 seconds, I assume accidentally.) 10. At the end of the night, 100 cars are going to try to leave. It's going to take a while, so go ahead and relax for a bit. You won't get out much faster by rushing. read more

The only good thing about this place is the price. A double feature in the comfort of your own car is a great experience. As far as the food...when we pulled in we noticed a small shed with several large trash bags filled with popcorn. This is apparently the popcorn they sell. I couldn't help but think that in such a rural area how many mice, rats, chipmunks and squirrels get into their plastic sheds and feast. The other food is over priced and flavorless. The bathrooms smell like sewage and the multitude of flying things in there is a bit concerning. Also if your over 5'9" duck walking in or you'll hit your head on the doorway. If you go I'd suggest you bring your own food and beverages. read more

Makes a wonderful outing and is totally worth the wait to the summer time :) had a lovely double date.

Like Santa Claus and talking M&M's, drive-ins do exist. After visiting Warwick Valley Winery for the day, we ended the day at the nearby drive-in movies. For $10 per person, you get to watch two newly released movies (they have 3 screens, but you have to pick which screen's double feature you want to see - you can't watch one movie and drive to another screen's 2nd feature). You tune into a FM radio station through your car for audio (it was clear and there were no issues). You could tell who the drive-in veterans were: people came in pick up trucks, opened up tables/chairs/inflatable mattresses, and brought their own food (pizza pies). Get there about an hour before show time to get an optimal spot. Also be sure you know how to shut your vehicle's headlights (I have automatic lights and had to cycle through my car's menu options). read more

Really cool! Two movies for the price of one, I really liked that they designate small cars in the front and bigger ones to the back. I've been to drive ins where it's a free for all. Did not try any concessions, the only down side was getting out, tons of traffic but whatever, I will totally be coming back. read more

If you're looking for a unique movie going experience, this is a great idea. The drive there from the city was the scariest thing ever. We kept pointing out the less creepy gas stations to use if we got stuck. I was happy to find everyone very friendly. I would definitely make the trip back. But try to get there before it's already pitch black out. read more

I've been here a couple of times and the whole concept is fun! You might get impatient waiting in your car to get in but once you get in you can choose where you want to park and enjoy the outdoor movie. It's $11 for adults, $8 for children and seniors, and free for kids under 4 but I don't recommend this for kids under 4. The screen is clear and the sound is loud enough. The food is good too! Just note that it's a $2 service charge for credit cards so bring cash!! It's a perfect spring/summer activity! read more

One of the first dates I went on with my boyfriend was to the warwick drive-in. He blew up an air mattress, put it in the bed of his truck and brought blankets and pints of ben and jerrys and it was the best date i have ever been on. The prices are great, the people are friendly and the double feature is so nice. Such a lovely experience. We now live in Warwick and we wait anxiously every March to see when they will open again. In the summer you can see countless shooting stars while watching a movie, its amazing. I hope they never change and always stay in business! read more

First time ever to a drive in movie. Must say was quiet impressed. Definitely was fun. Would return in the future if they were playing a good movie. Plus pay for one and you can watch two... What a deal. read more

This place is overrated. It's $10 per person, not $10 per car. Plus once you enter you cannot leave and reenter. Some rude security person came up to me on a golf cart and was giving me grief about not being able to reenter. The Shoprite is literally across the street yet I wasn't allowed to go. You can bring in food and drink so it makes no sense. The security guard even said that they make their money with the concession stand. I think the security guard was the banjo player from "Deliverance". Further, they only have port-a-johns, which were not pleasant. Lastly, they had the volunteer fireman lined up at the ticket booth guilting you into giving a cash donation. Stay clear of this hick place. read more

Great time with the family! We brought pillows blankets and lawn chairs. Glad we brought the blankets because it did get chilly. Bug spray is another essential! There were multiple snack stands open and never waited in line. Will definitely try to come back again soon! read more

It's like someone parachuted this place in to the middle of nowhere in Warwick but man is it worth the drive. Do yourself a favor and bring a portable FM radio, turn the car off, perhaps bring a blanket to sit on the grass if weather allows and take in a truly fun and unique movie-going experience. Definitely plan to return. read more

ok, so i bought a groupon and took my almost 2 hour drive up to warwick on 4/13/19 and after reading some bad reviews from recent experiences, i was scared but here i am with a5 star review. i was scared some screen was gonna stop working or i was gonna have radio issues, but i had none of the above. one thing is that i was at the wrong screen and didn't realize til it was too late and didn't wanna be that asshole. so i sat through shazam! which ended up being pretty good as then switched to go see Us, also pretty interesting in its own way. we got a surprisingly good spot for arriving at 8, and was able to turn our car off completely because other people had their sound on loud enough for us to hear. bathrooms are dirty looking but the toilets themselves are clean. we got two free popcorns with our groupon but also purchased a pizza roll, fries, mozzarella sticks and a large drink for $21, food was pretty good for movie theater food. NO ONE was rude, everyone was kind and helpful. the experience all in all was a pretty great one and i'd do it again. i'm glad i got to go on a night where the weather was good and it wasn't crowded, never thought the hood of a car could be that comfy for 4+ hours lol. but it's definitely something you gotta try atleast once. read more

My husband and I always wanted to go to a drive in and Warwick at an hour away was the closest one. I hope it stays open forever, because it is really a unique experience- felt like going back in time. We enjoyed the experience and will definitely bring the bug spray, blankets/chairs and a radio next time. Definitely go and check it out. Seeing the fireflies and stars in the background was beautiful. Great for dates and families. read more

When it comes to movie watching, there really isn't anything that compares to doing such at a drive-in! Sitting outside on a nice summer evening looking up at the big screen surrounded by your friends, it really transports you back to another time. This is the only drive-in I've ever been to, so I don't really have anything to compare it to but I am definitely a big fan and have been here to see many a movie throughout the years. There are three screens in the lot and typically three movies playing all at once, so you get a decent variety to choose from. Since the price of admission (which is less than you would pay at any movie theater) covers two movies, you can always switch screens between movies as well (though this can get a bit tricky). The audio for the movies plays over designated FM stations, so be sure to have a functioning radio in your car or bring a small radio with you. The movies playing are always current movies that are making their runs through the theaters, but are just significantly cheaper here and they're outdoors! Sound quality and picture quality are clearly not comparable to an IMAX, but they are in no way horrible. The restrooms are small and the concession stand is also limited, but the essentials are there and you are really paying more for the experience than for a pack of Mike and Ikes (though they are addictive...). Plus you can smuggle in any food that you want! Yup, no need to hide food in your purse or oversized sweatshirt, just toss it in the back seat of your car. Oh, you can also smuggle in people as well, but you didn't hear that from me. Lines can get long close to showtime, so it's usually best to come a little early. Plus this is one instance where your parking spot really does matter, so again you should probably show up a bit early rather than late! I've found it to be a bit harrowing at times to drive around on the lot, so it's probably also best to take it a bit slow. There aren't many left and this is a pretty great one, so show some support and come out to a show at the Warwick Drive-In next time you get a chance! read more

Warwick Drive In is a great throw back to the time of drive-ins being everywhere. They are so polite and reasonably priced. My husband and I load up the car and take our dog and make an evening of it. We drive 2 hours to the town of Warwick, walk around the town and take in 2 movies for only $10/person! I highly recommend taking the drive and enjoying the drive-in experience. read more
