Harvest Moon Twin Drive In Movie Theatre

Poor customer sevice ever ! Im dispointed at the sevice, this is one of my favorite place to go to. My son was acting up so i was directing him, lady serving us was rude. I ask for a straw so
She throw the straw instead. i been coming here alot. We spend alot of money here but never during the hoilday weekend. Probably wont come back for a while rather go to better drive thur or movies. At least there i will get the respect as a loyal customer. if the employes cant handle a heavy crowd then Ur in the wrong field. Only thing manager did was talk to her. We drive over a hour coming here and for poor customer service. i doubt ill back here.

I am so happy to live in Illinois again! Even though Harvest Moon is over 2.5 hours away from me, I plan on making at least one trip each summer.

We have been to Harvest Moon many times and will definitely be back for the upcoming season. The staff is always great, so many snack options, and they play old school commercials for intermission.

Of the two times ive been here, its never been enjoyable. Sorry to say, it’s just not rite to stop the show in order to form a snack line. Going to drive ins as a kid we never encountered this… i cant even imagine something like this while watching The Empire Strikes Back… oh, hang on were stopping the show… what? In all, going to see one movie here takes about 3 hours or more. Its just not satisfying. People are thrilled with it though!

I have been going to Harvest Moon for a few years and I have yet to have a bad experience there. They have very fair prices and many special events. They have a huge selection of food and snacks. They have a free merry go round. I miss their throwback Thursdays.

I’ve been coming to the Harvest Moon since I can remember. It’s always been such a treat to drive over an hour away to come here! Favorite drive in. Never disappointed.

I was 4 years old when I first saw Star Wars at our local drive-​in theatre which is no longer in operation. But watching at a drive-​in was such a memorable experience. Our two kids will now have the same kind of memories. We saw Minions at Harvest Moon. The setting is clean, the employees are helpful and friendly. Everything works and flows easily and hassle-​free. They’ve really done a nice job at providing a movie venue AND an experience that people will remember. We can’t wait to go back.

Great throwback! AWESOME food! They have a wide variety on the menu; you won’t leave hungry. Just don’t be on a diet! ;) Plays a great mix of throwback movies and new releases.

The Harvest Moon Drive-​In is such a novelty for the summertime. I cannot say how much I enjoy drive ins; the combination of movies and hanging out with friends and family is the best.
The line is usually long to enter the theatre, it’s about 15 – 20 minutes or 20 cars that are in front of you. The wait doesn’t seem long though. The tickets are $ 7 for ages 12 and up. Kids 4 – 11 are $ 6. And kids 4 and under are free. If you bring food from outside the theatre, you buy a $ 5 food voucher good for a large popcorn or two small drinks. I have no brought in food because I have eaten dinner beforehand, but I think it is a pretty good deal!
It doesn’t really matter where you park because I think everywhere is a good spot to watch the show. Sometimes people have their car trunk door open, so you wouldn’t want to park behind them. If you have children seeing the movie, the best place to park would be in the front. Before and during intermission, they could play on the lawn and run around.
The concession stand always has a long line. But if you sprint when the intermission starts (like I did!), you have a good chance of getting an early snack. The best way to pay would probably be cash. There are two or three workers so it is hard for them to run a credit card and get food when the line is out the door.
When I went there, the burger place and snow cone place were closed. I wished they were opened! Another tip: bring bug spray and blankets!
Harvest Moon is such a neat place to go. It is family friendly and a real treat for everyone.

Our family loves the family-​friendly atmosphere and everything HMTDI has to offer! :)

A fun place to see a movie!!! Fun atmosphere… good popcorn! They charge you $ 5 if you bring in food from the outside… but they give you a coupon for either a free large popcorn or 2 small sodas. a large popcorn is $ 5.50… so we actually saved 50 cents by bring in our own drinks! :) I just wish it wasnt so far away!

I love this place. My family has a summer home on a lake in central Illinois and this drive in is as vital to a fun weekend as four wheeling or water skiing.

I was told about this Drive in by my neighbor. It was just as great as she said iust was!!! Very Clean, well maintained, inexpensive! Had a great experience. I even left my camera there on the ground the night before and they found it for me the next morning and so when I called and said where we were they knew exactly why I was calling. Awesome staff as well!

This place is GREAT! Price is totally reasonable and, although it was my first drive-​in experience, it totally tapped all my nostalgia for camping and childhood. Pure joy. What else can I say?
Here are my tips:
–Definitely arrive early –not just to get a good spot but also to enjoy all the fun beforehand. It’s very much a camping-​meets-​tailgating experience, which in my mind was half of the fun. Cars definitely line up early, so hop in that line!
–Very kid friendly –lots of groups of kids joining up and playing games before the show.
–Bring camping chairs, food (you’ll need to pay a $ 5 fee but that comes with free popcorn and soda, so it’s an excellent deal), blankets, yard games, etc. There is also plenty of food for sale on-​site, and restrooms (port-​a-​potties and indoor facilities –almost missed those, so be sure to look around back).
–Two movies play at once, and you can tune your radio to any channel.
–There is an intermission during the film –for some reason when we attended it was with only 30 minutes left in the show, so we took that opportunity to leave, which probably helped us beat the long lines out. That would be a bummer, of course, if you’d been really looking forward to the film, but since it was a kids movie and we already had a sleeping 7-​year-​old, it was perfect for us.
–Goooooooo! Enjoy! It’s so much fun!

Just be sure you like country music as that is what plays through the radio prior to the movie. I am not really a fan and personally I could do without it.

If you can’t stand movie theatres then this is the place for you. They allow food but you pay a $ 5 permit that acts as a coupon to use for popcorn, etc. A great place to go, check their website for current hours and showings.

This place is great, and I’d say five stars, with one tiny exception– Minus 1 star for some spots on the screen that are damaged. But all in all, they show current films, have a great selection of refreshments and certainly dinner fare if you’re in for the whole experience. Sad there aren’t many drive-​ins left. It’s nice to be able to sit in my car with my son falling asleep on me during the movie and not having to worry about interrupting other movie-​goers. (Great way to squeeze in «date night» if you’ve got a toddler and can’t find a babysitter) Friendly, family atmosphere, and the grace and humor to deal with the audience booing through a backwards, and upside down «Smurfs» preview (which was pretty entertaining in itself).

What a joy it is to have this drive-​in in Gibson City! They usually show family movies and blockbusters and I tend to like indie-​type films better, but I go just to sit there in the dark and eat their wonderful buttered popcorn. I love their vintage red-​and-​white snack bar –even the bathrooms have the original flooring and matching red handles on the sinks. Harvest Moon is also the only wind-​powered drive-​in in the country, and one of only three drive-​ins left in the state of Illinois. It’s very popular on weekends so get there early to avoid traffic jams. This drive-​in is a local treasure and should be on the National Register of Historic Places. Treat yourself and spend a warm, breezy summer night at the Harvest Moon!
