Galaxy Drive In Theatre

This was my first visit to the Galaxy after years of living in the Dallas area and wanting to make the trip out to Ennis. It was a fun evening. My only two major complaints are :1) that they ran out of popcorn before the first feature even started leaving myself and many others disappointed. That was all my kids had wanted to eat. 2): they need to provide more trash cans around the property to help keep things cleaner and keep people from being as likely to litter.

A fun little experience! Will come back. Snack Bar had good french fries bad pizza and hotdogs. The worst thing was the Georgia Hillbilly in the green King Ranch jacked up Ford Deisel truck that refused to turn off his truck and it idled for 2 hours. Even when ask politely. Go Home Hillbilly

only have had a issue one time. other then that great place. food is good and cheap. price is also good for two movies.

for the price of $ 12 you get to watch two movies and spend some quality time with your favorite person in the car it’s just an outstanding places to spend the evening. Food and concession stand is pretty good and reasonable so you talking about $ 40 for the whole night he can’t even get into the regular movies for that amount

Great place being able to pull up and watch two movies from your car. The food concession stand has pretty good too would enjoy going there for future movies

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this place, it is the greatest! I much prefer it over the one in Fort Worth, I like it so much I am willing to drive the hour and a half. The prices simply can not be beat! They added another concession stand too! Just a fun time. Make sure you know how to turn off your headlights!

The one star is to grab attention as to how COMPLETELY AWFUL their customer service is at the snack bar. Took them 20 minutes just for them to tell me they couldn’t give me the coffee I ordered, but not before making me pay for what I already got and had to wait 20 minutes to even get into waiting for a cup of coffee that never even came! They never offered to give me anything else, never asked if I wanted anything else, never apologized, NOTHING! They didn’t care AT ALL which made it 10 times worse… I just hope the highest supervisor cares when I call them in the morning! :) Just a word of advice, I’d bring your own food and drinks with you instead of taking the risk of going to the snack bar because they obviously don’t care whether you’re taken care of or not. So sad!

Great place to take the kids. Affordable and fun. We always have a good time. Good advice if you want a good spot get there super early. We always go an hour before the show and enjoy a game of putt putt golf.

Galaxy Drive In Theatre was a very awesome experience! Super nostalgic! I haven’t been to a drive in movie since I was a kid. The tickets and the concession stand was very affordable. AMC movies are ALWAYS expensive, their nacho cheese is never HOT and for the price of 2 movie tickets at AMC, I was able to watch 2 movies and get concessions twice at Galaxy. I’d recommend this theatre.

Oh wow, this was my first experience at a drive in movie theater. Of course, the horror movie lover in me couldn’t shake the feeling that my husband and I were driving right into the drive-​in theater from Dead End Drive-​In! Anyway, this place is so amazingly chill. I have really grown to hate going to the movies. People eating loudly, talking, burping and/​or worse, etc. We decided to celebrate my husband’s bday by driving to this drive in and it was seriously the best movie experience, besides being at home. $ 7 a ticket is a normal rate for a ticket, but this was way better. Everything was legit vintage! We chose not to use the old speakers but the channel came in clearly in our truck, even though we don’t have an antenna. We will be returning very soon for another movie here. I am obsessed.

Had a great time with the fam! Two movies for the price of one is a great deal. I enjoyed my movie without any disturbance. Okay maybe a little. There’s always that one person who takes forever to realize they didn’t turn their headlights off. The picture quality wasn’t bad and their cheese burgers were pretty tasty.

2 movies for the price of one and the privacy and convenience of being able to bring your crying infant along without being hushed or leaving the theater, can’t beat that. The food is priced as most concession stands, bathrooms are usually decent, right off the highway, can’t miss it

Best movie theatre around and the food is great for a low price! They also show 2 movies for the prize of 1 anywhere else!

Drive-​in theaters are a rare thing these days. According to what I have read, there are only around 400 left in the entire U.S. So I imagine they are very hard to keep running as a successful and profitable business.
Galaxy doesn’t have the nicest screens or the best sound. The entrance is a bottle-​necked gravel pit that you will wait 15 minutes just to get through to pay for your ticket. The pathways to the screens are essentially areas of dirt among mostly dead fields of grass and even more gravel. Most of the horrible sounding speakers in the parking spots are broken and the concession stand’s A/​C is often broken. And the line for the 5-​or-​so-​stall somewhat poorly maintained bathrooms are often long.
With that said, this place is amazing.
I love going here in the fall and sitting out in the cool of the evening as the sun goes down and watching a movie or two (they usually have a deal for double features where you pay very little and can watch two movies in a row). It’s really cheap to see a film here and a unique experience that make all the other complaints no big deal.
You can tune your car stereo to a particular radio station and get a pretty high quality broadcast of the movie audio.
If I could give a list of suggestions to the management it would be this:
* fix the flow of traffic through the place. There shouldn’t be a bottleneck to get in. Maybe have a phone app that lets you pay in advance and just scan your phone as you pass through.
* speaking of phone apps, one that let you tune into an audio broadcast digitally through your phone would be nice as it would let you not have to blow out your speakers to listen to the show outside your vehicle.
* instead of forbidding outside food, make a ticket price or optional fee to pay that lets you bring your own food. That way you can cash in on people who would otherwise just sneak food in anyway.
* pave the grounds — when we go we have to take our SUV or my in-law’s truck or I’m sure the car underbody would be torn up.
* improve the concession area — or add another «gourmet» concession area like many theaters are doing to combat things like Studio Movie Grill and Alamo Drafthouse, or allow food trucks to come sell stuff for some percentage of the gross sales they make. This would spice up the pretty basic options for snacks and meals

We absolutely love this place! Great entertainment for groups– especially young girls who would rather talk then watch the movie! They are very family friendly and have great policies– we could bring our dog, Krypto, and they had plenty of junk food to eat all night! They have great prices– and get there early to get good seats, food, and play mini golf! By far one of the most fun places we have been, absolutely love this place!

Reasonably priced admission. You get two shows for the price of one $ 6. If you arrive early enough you can play miniature golf until your movie starts they even have a concession shack that offers loads of delicious things: candies, pickle, popcorn, cotton candy, hamburgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, french fries, chips ALL at reasonable prices show start at 8:00p-ish but we’ll see you at 6:00p to get a good spot.

One of the the few drive-​in theaters left in the area. The screens and picture quality are pretty good. Their movies are all digital now. You get to watch two movies for the price of one. We take our lawn chairs and sit outside. It’s one of the few places where you can bring your dog to the movies with you. I take my dog all the time, he loves it. The prices and the food at the snack bar are pretty good. Now some not so good things about this place. The post window speakers suck. Most of them don’t work and the sound quality is awful, and you can tell they don’t even try to fix or replace them. The bathrooms are gross, they don’t maintain or clean them that often. The women’s bathroom is always out of toilet paper and so you end up doing the old drip dry. When you tell someone in the snack bar they seem clueless. But it’s still fun and a summer tradition.

It was my first time ever going to a drive in theater and I can’t say that the experience was terribly good or bad. I feel like had I been more prepared, I would have had a better experience.
First off, the theater itself has rows of speakers lined up but the first 3 rows don’t work (we found that out via a regular luckily). You can’t really check it until the movie starts either so at that point, you’re stuck where you’re at. We came to realize neither of our speakers worked so we had to use the car radio. Remember to turn on the car in between the movies to charge your battery.
The theater is a bit of a drive out from North Dallas and if you want to get first pick, you have to leave extra early. We noticed most people started showing up right around 7:15 PM, which is about an hour before the show was set to start. Keep in mind, it doesn’t actually start until the sun sets, so during the summer time, make sure to account for that.
I would also plan for seating. We noticed a lot of people backed up into the space and opened up their trunk and brought their own seats or even took their seats out of the vans. If you anticipate on having people sit in the back, be aware that they may not have a clear view of the entire screen. We had that problem and were moving around trying to get comfortable. We even tried sitting on the grass and turning on the car radio but it just wasn’t working.
They have food in the center between all the theaters. It does get packed right before the movies start and popcorn is premade so they are not piping hot. Overall, just your typical theater food. There is a dip n dots which also serves shaved ice. The shaved ice had very chunky if you’re into that. I had 2 spoonfuls and could not finish the rest.
Now that I have been once, I think the next time I will be more prepared for it and should probably have a more enjoyable time.

Ok let me start by saying this is not the theater for people that go to actually watch the movie between the loud talkers, kids running around and headlights it is a bit obnoxious.
It seems like it would be great to go with a group of friends to relax and hang out though.
Now onto the food, everything is inexpensive and I can see how this is the perfect place to pack up the whole family for a movie night. With tickets being only $ 7 a person for two movies it gives you a chance to buy from the concession stand. That being said the burgers and nachos tasted exactly like any concession stand you’ve ever been to. You get what you pay for, the burger was not to my liking. The pizza was decent though.
All in all I think I will try the drive in experience again but I think I will try the one in ft. Worth next time. Hopefully it will have a different crowd there.

Love this place.
Galaxy Drive-​In is a great nostalgic activity to do for anybody that grey up going to Drive-​Ins. I took my mother on Valentines day and she had a blast reminiscing about her youth while waiting for the movie to start. It is also a great date location for those who’ve never been to a Drive-​in theater.
Galaxy is a short thirty minute drive from my house in Dallas. It gets packed so make sure you show up at 6 – 6:30. The concessions are fairly priced and decently tasty. The staff are very friendly. Take cash as a back up as they are still on dial up internet and the credit card machine doesn’t always work.
Other than that, the place is a gem.
