Auburn Garrett Drive In

Great place for a fun summer night. Very family friendly.

What a great place! This is an old style drive in movie theater, way out in the country. Open clear sky. Lots of cars and kids playing. They play two great movies each night (new releases). Reasonable prices for tickets and snacks. I bought the LARGE popcorn for $ 5. Oh! And the old speakers have been replaced by an FM transmitter.

A throwback to the 40’s and 50’s, an evening of fun! A wonderful combination of America’s love of cars, movies, and staying up late, which since we are all on DST, it ends up pretty late.
And that really is the main problem with going here in the summer is that you can’t start the movies before 9 or 10pm, so by the time you get to the end of the second movie it is past 1am. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I guess that is what caffeine and candy are for though.
It is an enjoyable experience… Throwing the football around waiting for the sky to darken, seeing the Big Dipper hang above the screen, hearing the crickets chirping over the movie, getting bit by a mosquito, and hanging out outside watching a flic while the sky darkens into a dark black and the stars start to pop.
Typically we bring some lawn chairs, a small table, many blankets and a small radio that we plug into the car. We park the car facing away from the screen, pop the lift gate of the van, reverse the last row of seats and then we have seating for 6 easy, good audio, and easy access to items in the car. The seating options give you the ability to walk around, change seats, etc., because sitting in your car for several hours watching a movie may not be as pleasant as you think.

Great place to drive in and watch movies. You drive in and turn on the radio to listen. Something cool and different for family or dates.
