    What makes it fun

    See a movie the way your parents did! Stop by Mama Merlots for some adult beverages, grab some good grub and spend the night in our Mini Houses! Doc's Drive-In does much more than just show your favorite, classic films - it's a family-friendly, classic drive-in theater experience that for some, is a totally new way to enjoy movies, and for others brings that nostalgia.

    Putting 3 stars as I want this place to make it. However the concession stand service is horrible. Watched Grease last night, and the young man working the stand wasn’t great. Cold popcorn and fries, mentioned it to him and he basically said oh well. I actually trued one ranch fry and gave it back kid didn’t even offer to make it right or a refund. I asked for hot popcorn and the bin was low so I asked if he was gonna make fresh he said no. It actually was a pretty chilly night so warm food would be appreciated especially after dropping $29 for popcorn and fries. Venues like this need to know they have team members that aren’t taking care of customers. Places like this are hard to keep open and it doesn’t help when employees don’t care. Will try again, hopefully will get a person that cares in the concession stand.

    The new Speakeasy is an amazing addition!

    Awesome vrbo there. They have tiny homes for short term rental. We were in town for the motogp races and we stayed in the tiny home that was harry potter themed. The guy running the place was very helpful and friendly. Literally tipped his cap to us. Highly recommend this place if ur ok with a tiny home. If u need space id find something bigger. We were a bit cramped in there which was fine for me. I wish i could remember the guys name but thank u sir for a wonderful weekend. The wife and i loved it.

    this place is great! we came on a weeknight for Waterworld (i dont know what all the fuss was about- i saw that movie six times, it rules!) and stayed for ET for a few bucks extra- the food menu hit the spot, next time we’ll try the underground speakeasy, highly recommend! kudos to the owners for making sure the drive-in never dies! jbb

    My first time at a drive in movie and what an amazing experience. Doc’s is definitely a great place to go. Throughly enjoyed our experience. Adrian the operations manager was a sweet heart. He was welcoming, friendly, and very serviceable.
    Looking forward to going back very soon.

    My family and I had a wonderful time watching the Grinch at the drive-in. The staff was very friendly and they really know how to butter your popcorn... They even layered it and gave me extra cups so the kids could each have their own. Plus they have free refills on the popcorn! The bathrooms were super nice and clean and there's a great patio and upper deck that we will have to enjoy when it's a bit warmer. The audio for the movie plays through your car speakers, but they also have a nice outdoor speaker setup so you can listen that way if you'd prefer. There is a decked area just in front of the screen where you can set up your own chairs if you don't want to sit in your car. Thanks Doc! We'll be back!

    Loved this place, From the Star Wars mini-houses and the Don's Deli, to the movies and the underground Speak Easy, we enjoyed our Saturday night!!

    Thank you to A.J, the AIR B&B host, Jacks, and everyone else, for making our stay so perfect! We look forward to inviting friends and more family. Hopefully have an event there as well!!

    So glad that I got to have my first drive-in movie experience here! My girlfriend and I went to watch The Neverending Story and we enjoyed the night so much! Everyone was super kind and they have really good food at the concession stand. Our movie time had to be delayed because of daylight savings, and the staff was super communicative and kind about it. Definitely recommend going here!

    We ended up going on a Wednesday night and had the place to ourselves. It was very awesome. You could hear the movie without using the radio and they also had a deck we sat on for awhile.
    The screen is visible from all angles and the employees are very friendly and helpful.
    The food was fantastic as well.
