Young People Don't Get It

September 08, 2015

Growing up, drive ins were always the place parents go with the kids because it affords privacy and a lot of fun especially when you're there in a group. Clean bathrooms, concession stand cleanliness... Give me a break. IT'S A DRIVE IN! If you had seen some of the drive ins we used to go for entertainment 30 years ago, you'd realize they haven't changed a bit! You go for the fun, the nostalgia, the CHEAP admittance to some great flicks! We paid $7 per person! Been to a theatre in GTA and surrounding areas? $17 to $19 per person and the washrooms are even worse not to mention the idiot that keeps talking or the moron with a boufonne hairdo in front of you, and how about the kids that won't shut the heck up because modern day parents don't believe in discipline. I will drive any day the 50 minutes it takes to get to the Port Hope Drive In knowing I am in my own comfortable space with great surround sound in my MODERN vehicle with no interruptions and the only noise you hear is me and my date kissing between flicks. The people that want the champagne experience, stay or go to the big city and leave space in the centre aisle for those of us that appreciate the true drive in experience.

Bathrooms are the worst

June 28, 2014

At the end of any movie the bathrooms are never clean and are unusable for kids on the males side anyway

same movies over and over again

May 15, 2015

For the last three years the movie selection is horrible. They play the same main feature for three weeks or more. This long weekend the Avengers is playing again. It's the third or fourth week now. If you want people to come to the drive in then change it up more often.

Love the drive in experience but the staff here is TERRIBLE!!!

September 25, 2015

Staff rudely searched car on the way in for...contraband? No, outside food! We bought popcorn from the concession stand and it was terrible. Tasted like it came from a bag...not fresh popped. Prices comparable to going to any other theater so the price was fine but the quality is unbelievable. Staff is the worst. They threaten you from the moment you are there about the rules. Place seems dirty and you feel generally like they are tolerating you being there. Bizarre. I love the drive in experience. This one is the closest to home, may have to drive further to experience others. Such a shame.

Rude, filthy, food quality not worth price

September 08, 2015

I brought my daughter to this theatre for a treat. The concession is filthy. The bathrooms as well. The gates open so late that by the time you get through the concession line you've missed the first half of the first movie. They don't allow outside food, but only provide unhealthy snacks and drinks which aren't suitable for kids. Our burgers were charred and the popcorn over salted (likely to get people to buy more overpriced drinks). This place is poorly run. It'd be nice to see the health department rating. Also, I think it's very inappropriate that they use their security cameras to view people in the privacy of their own cars. Perhaps the local police should be looking into this. We won't be returning. It's worth the drive to the farther drive in to have a more sanitary and stress free experience.

Please Sell

July 28, 2015

I wish they would sell and let someone else take over. Not operated very well. I live locally but have to make a long distance call to get the show times. The problem in this area is the cobourg theatre is also low quality so they have little competition. So there is little motivation to improve. I go out of town it's worth the drive and the extra money. The bathrooms are the worst which makes you wonder what the kitchen is like where they cook the food. Movie selection is terrible!

Horrible Evening! Staff Have No Intelligence!

August 05, 2014

Firstly all I can say is staff is incredibly rude, it is expensive, dirty, and I am appalled at how we were treated. My family and I went to the beach for the day, went out for dinner at Pizza Hut and were bringing home a doggy bag of some of our children's pizza, and as we were driving home on the 401 decided that since all of our kids were asleep my husband and I would go to the drive-in. We looked it up and drove half and hour out of our way because we thought it would be fun. Our children's dinner leftovers were sitting in our van between our front seats, and we were unaware but they have a rule of no outside food in the drive in. We tried to explain to the horribly rude employee at the front that it was our children's dinner leftovers and that we would not be eating anything. We were going to leave but decided to stay as we had really driven out of our way to find the theatre. I threw the leftovers in back of the van. We had to pay by debit so my husband went into the concession stand to pay. We were late for the first movie and were sitting watching and before it was finished an employee came to vehicle and asked for our tickets, we showed him and then he proceeded to basically strip search our vehicle. He shined a bright flashlight on all of my children's faces which woke them up. He found the small leftover pizza box in the back that no one was eating, demanded that we give it to him. We told him that this was ridiculous. He didn't care. At the end of the first movie I went into the building and asked if I could pick up my children's leftover pizza at the end of the night. The employee told me that it had already been thrown out and that I could pick through the garbage at the end of night if I wanted. I asked to speak with the manager and told him that I understand rules etc..but sometimes with tourists passing through the odd time you need to make an exception. With our kids awake we had to leave at end of 2nd movie. We will never go back!!!
