- Preferred TravelerJuly 1, 2012Bengie'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!
Naptown 💪 LarryNovember 3, 2012Originally 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.
SpidermanMay 16, 2015The 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.- Jackie RuskeyJuly 9, 2011arrive early and get ready to have a blast. Mr Vogel makes going to the drive in such fun there is nothing like it, I have been going to bengies since I was a little girl. and now have a grown daught
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!
Chris RudyAugust 13, 2011Why 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!
Antoinette WilliamsMay 11, 2012Awesome place to see 2 or 3 great movies. The staff is awesome, always friendly and helpful. A great historical experience for all
Stephanie PrinceJune 23, 2013Great place to bring the family. Where else can you go and see multiple movies for less then the price of an indoor theater?
Cathleen LNovember 27, 2011Great 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.
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.
Suzanne Vegan McQuaidJuly 17, 2020Very 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
Laura GonzalezMarch 1, 2012Best Family fun for all ages, even has a small playground so little ones can play lets not for get the dawn to dusk marathon.
Ed KapuscinskiOctober 23, 2010I 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.
👨 Gombz.April 20, 2011$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.
Single people can gain access on Friday nights if they arrive at the front entrance driveway 15 minutes before the box office gate opens.
Theo HillSeptember 1, 2013Loved the all-nighter...5 movies 9 bucks each...kids for 4 just Great!!! :-)
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!
Biggest movie screen in America! Snack bar definitely worth it or even a food permit to bring your own picnic.
Matthew CooperMay 28, 2012Drink every time Vogel says "rule " and you'll be hammered before show time!
Shawn Davis-CarloniOctober 31, 2015when is the last day they open? [like for the "season" or wutever...]
Beau TurnerJuly 8, 2012Since 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
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.
Rhandi MorganJuly 17, 2011Bring foldable camp chairs and your own bug repellent. I'm an Avon rep and I could suggest a good spray for ya ;)
Cynthia MilsteadMay 22, 2011bengies is great i go there alot ive been almost every weekend since they have opened this season
Alex ScottMay 23, 2021The 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.”- Dress for the temp it will be at the end of the show and you won't spend the night shivering!
Michelle GardnerMay 19, 2010Get 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
Amy WhitelawJuly 18, 2010You'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!
Melissa MMay 22, 2011Even if the first movie is for children, sit through it...you'll get better parking
I wish they provide breakfast after the dusk til dawn shows!
John R JOctober 29, 2011Cold? Snowing?? Lion tigers and bears??? Bring your licence and car registration and $1 to rent a NICE heater!
Holly QJune 11, 2011The fries... Not so good. They're those frozen crinkle cut ones. (for those of you who are picky, like me.)- Jamie MittenApril 9, 2011Rules 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.
Gotta try the homemade chocolate chip cookie ice-cream sandwiches or the Funnel Cake.
Get in line early for food and drinks those lines take a LONG time to get through
Jeff HastingsJune 16, 2013I 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.
