What an incredible experience! We haven’t been to a drive in theatre since we were small children so this was a MUST do for us.
We planned it to visit on our 10 year anniversary and watched a double feature for only $23!! It was the perfect night for us, and even had our dogs with us to make it a few like home.
We had brought a few snacks but ended up visiting the snack bar anyways for some popcorn and hot chocolate. We had a great view from up in “the bank” since we had a Thule on top of our SUV.
The customer service was great and told us everything we needed to know once we got there and made a recommendation of where to park to make sure we could see the movie and so we weren’t blocking anyone’s view. They went around on their golf cart when the movie was about to begin to make sure vehicles were off, lights were off, and everything was dark and quiet.
My husband had to help a few movie-goers out in order to turn their vehicle lights off and have the radios stay on, but that wasn’t a problem. We did notice a few vehicles down the hill having the same issue not understanding how to turn their lights off which was a distraction until they figured it out later on through the movie.
So take note, know how to ensure your lights are off when you only want the radio on haha.
Such a fun experience so we definitely recommend visiting this drive in theatre!

I haven’t been to a Drive in for probably 20 years or more. Was packed full on a Saturday Night. Reasonable prices. Only complaint I have is the popcorn was stale.

Love the drive in!!! The concession is great, not a bad place to park. Depending on how the weather has been, mosquitoes can be a pain.

They do not disclose that the price at the gate is MUCH higher than the price it says online. The people were terrible to deal with. They let people start their cars throughout the movie so all you can smell is exhaust. Terrible experience, will not be coming back

We were super pleased by the staff at the drive-in, they were very friendly, entertaining and helpful. The movies were easy to see from our vehicle, the COVID protocols were in place and obvious and the snack bar was well managed. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Even if it takes a couple hours to get there, the Starlight drive-in is always worth the trek. Friendly service, delicious popcorn (with the best butter) and an awesome selection of both retro and recent movies. If you find yourself in the area, make sure you check it out!!

We took in Sing with our two kids this week and had a great time. The management takes their social distancing seriously, which we really appreciated. It was neat to see the old commercials prior to the movie. Great process in place for the snack bar, which was VERY affordable. Highly recommend

Great views as the sun goes down, this blast of americana is a delight. They have some strict social distancing going on but they really are trying to make the experience a pleasant one. They have a concessions stand for all the usual movie treats and I;d recommend supporting this place if you are visiting.
It;'s popular with the younger local crowd, who turn up with comfy setups in the back of a truck or SUV and reverse in and enjoy the movies!
It's easy to find too... just head south on the main road out of Enderby and you can;t miss it!

My radio in my car stopped working. How do listen to the movie ? Is it only done through radio or can you rent a speaker or have it go through your I phone ? TIA

Pretty sure it has to be through a radio but you could bring a battery powered portable radio with you.

How early do you need to get there on a Saturday night in August to be sure to get in?

I like to get there by at least 6:30 to get a good spot. We bring the dog and wander around before the movie starts. Grab popcorn and enjoy the sunset!
