  This place is special. I believe it’s the longest running drive-in in America. I’ve been there several times, in summer and winter. It’s a great family night out or cozy date night. Their themes are fantastic. They feature new run movies and classic themes. If you have the opportunity you MUST go to their annual The Thing event and grab the collectible made by MonsterFx. I did!!! When the weather is nice you can sit in front of your car. If it’s colder you can stay warm with blankets and their hot chocolate. Just do it! You will love it!!!!

  This is a quaint little drive inn. Actually it's the first drive inn ever! 😂 . Went here for the 50th anniversary showing of "Jaws" . 👍 Great on Huge outside Movie screen 😁. This place cost $12.00 an adult person to get in. The gates open up at 6:30 pm. They have free bathrooms, a small snack bar. And parking is two cars between blue poles and two trucks between the Yellow poles. If you are coming here best get to this Drive Inn early. For this Drive Inn is small. It's sometimes sells out fast depending on the movies playing. Yes All drive inns give you two moves per visit. Note once dark the movie doesn't start until about 39 to 25 minutes of ads and commercials and some puppy and cat clips are played????? The National Atthum wasn't played 😢 first time I ever been to a drive inn and the National Atthum was skipped! 😲 And no cartoon was played! Someone in our party stated the men's bathroom had a really bad odor! As for the snack bar they serve popcorn sodas, hot chocolate, coffee, candy, French fries, hamburger, hot dogs, pretzels. Funnel cakes. So if you are looking for something without salt you may want to bring it with you. 😂 This place is a great place to take the family on a summer early autumn evening. Note this place doesn't have a playground for the kids. A+ business

  My first trip to Shankweilers! Was awesome! I'm totally a drive-in guy so it was finally great to get up there, weather be damned! 😆 Great double feature, great concessions, and Matt and Lauren rock! Check it out sometime, you won't be disappointed.

  I feel so lucky to live within minutes of this theatre -- a piece of history right here in my area!! The owners are so nice and helpful, as is everyone who works there. Snack bar prices are affordable and all of the offerings are delicious (especially the French fries and popcorn!!). I've been going to this theatre since I was a kid and am just so thankful for the current owners who saved it from becoming something other than a drive-in!!

  It was a great time. The cheeseburger was tasty. The sodas were large. The owners were very helpful. Double feature and we had great weather. Brought back memories of time gone by. It's worth the drive to experience movies under the stars.
