Many have asked- Unfortunately, Yes this is a forever goodbye. We’re closing forever after this weekend.
💔Final & Last Weekend at The Family Drive in💔
🎉 Our Website Is Now Updated! 🎉

✨ FINAL OPERATING WEEKEND — Friday, Saturday & Sunday! ✨
Choose your double feature:
🦊 Zootopia 2 + The Polar Express
💚 Wicked 2 + Elf
Gates open 4pm.

🎅 Santa is visiting! He’ll arrive one hour before showtime:
• Friday at 6 PM• Saturday & Sunday at 5 PM

Due to high attendance, we highly recommend buying tickets online and arriving early, even before gates open.

A quick note about this weekend: we are already seeing substantial ticket sales and expect a full house all three nights. Please plan to arrive closer to the gate time than the start of the first feature so we can get people in before the start time. We are trying to call in some of our former employees to help with things, but it will still be very busy and we will work as quickly as we can given our space constraints!

Looking forward to seeing you all for one more weekend under the stars 💔

Come enjoy an unforgettable holiday weekend under the stars! 🌙🍿✨
