    Bengie's provides very nostalgic feeling from the wonder years. Be warned that the staff lives and breathes their house rules. Break the rules and you will feel the wrath of the power hungry staff!!!

    Bengies is the perfect movie theater. It's under the stars, they have an amazing snack bar, and the owners are the nicest people you'll ever meet! It's for the whole family or just for two!

    Best place for a date. My boyfriend and I come almost every weekend even if we dont like the movies playing. Snack bar is the best I would never bring my own food, thats what keeps Bengies running .

    Pay $10 st the gate for a "food pass" that covers everyone in your car. bring a cooler and any food you want. It saved us all a lot of money on concession purchases. We go almost every week!

    Originally opened in 1956, Bengie's drive in theater is one of the few surviving drive in theaters in the U.S. and has the BIGGEST movie theatre screen in the USA at 52 feet high and 120 feet wide.

    I don't usually like popcorn, but for some reason it's reeeeally good here. The only healthy snackbar option I can think of is a snowcone without the syrup. ;) Oh, and food is cheap. Have fun!

    Great place to bring the family. Where else can you go and see multiple movies for less then the price of an indoor theater?

    Why see movies anywhere else! Great price and you can tell they really are passionate about the place. Retro cartoons and ads complete the experience. I will be back, many times!

    The atmosphere is awesome! A good place to enjoy a movie without the commtary of the audience. Plus u get 2 or sometimes 3 movies 4 the price of 1.
  • Antoinette W.
    Awesome place to see 2 or 3 great movies. The staff is awesome, always friendly and helpful. A great historical experience for all
  • Suzanne Vegan M.
    Very selective rule enforcement. No mask enforcement and lights on at random times, and no apps play their radio station. Nostalgic but not a good experience

    Great place to see movies, not preachy just some good rules for your own well being and that of those around you. Food is reasonable and the only way the theater makes money.

    Get there early, get a good spot, eat some good food, play board games, and just relax until the movies start at sun down. It's a great time for friends and family!

    $8 triple-feature on the largest screen in the nation. Get in early for prime parking. Don't forget the bugspray and DO NOT BREAK THE RULES. Seriously.

    We drive down from PA for this drive in. There are two closer to us, but this one has a better snack bar and bathrooms.

    I really like this place, but the rampant pervasive authoritarian "thou shalt not" tone is really overbearing and kinda obnoxious after a while. Come prepared to be lectured, but still have fun.

    Single people can gain access on Friday nights if they arrive at the front entrance driveway 15 minutes before the box office gate opens.

    Biggest movie screen in America! Snack bar definitely worth it or even a food permit to bring your own picnic.

    Get there early for good parking; really good deal to see 2 or 3 new release movies (usually) for $5-$8 for adults and $4 for kids. Read more

    Concession prices can't be beat - a JUMBO soda here costs less than a SMALL soda at an i-n-d-o-o-r movie theater.

    Since when did the staff and security become so rude? I have been coming here since I was 8 and every year the staff gets worse and worse. Great deal for the money just need to rethink ubersecurity

    Dress for the temp it will be at the end of the show and you won't spend the night shivering!

    Rules are only made after someone creates a problem. They are only trying to keep the peace. If security wasnt here, noone would want to bring kids here. •former security banned for not giving notice.

    You're supposed to buy a permit if you bring your own food. Weird... Bring your own AND check out the snack bar. You can't lose!

    The person enforcing the rules was incredibly rude and aggressive. Approached us without a mask, yelling at us about the lights. When we tried to fix it he told us to “stop talking and listen.”

    I think "Bengie" likes to hear himself talk way too much. 15 minutes of ranting is not what I paid for. Intermission was much the same. My wife and I will not be going back.
