How to Enjoy South Bay Drive In Theatre

Beginning on September 6th, the drive-in will be open only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. New showtimes are posted on our website on Wednesday for Friday through the following Thursday (during movie season). Only five days are displayed at a time; if you don't see the showtimes for the day you are looking for, please check back. We do not know the movie schedules in advance.

The $10 adult ticket and $1 kids (children 5-9) ticket allows you admission for two movies playing on the same screen. This means you'll get to see two movies for half the price! However, sometimes the movies are single-billed due to studio contracts. In this case, admission is for one movie only.

We suggest that you arrive at the theater one hour before the first show. Alternatively, if you are planning to see only the 2nd and 3rd shows, you'll want to arrive about thirty minutes prior to the showtime.

The audio for the movies is broadcast through an FM transmitter (radio), so make sure you have a good sound system in your vehicle.

We have a snack bar full of treats and goodies from popcorn, candy, and carne asada nachos! The snack bar is cash only. You are also welcome to bring your own snacks too!

When are you open?: Beginning on September 6th, the drive-in will be open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays only.
Do you still show movies in the rain?: Yes we do. Sometimes the theaters can flood and in that case we won't show any movies.
Are the movie showtimes AM or PM?: Since our theatres are outdoors, all movie showtimes are at night when it is dark.
Now that it gets darker earlier... will you have earlier show times?: Yes, showtimes are earlier in the winter and later in the summer.
How much is it to get in?: Admission: $10 for adults - $1 for children 5 through 9. All major credit and debit cards accepted.
Do I have to stay for both movies?: No, you may leave as you please.
Do you have any movies in Spanish?: Now, you can listen to most movies in Spanish with the Theater Ears App. Download for free in the App Store or Google Play.
When it says 'with' between the movies, are we watching both movies?: Yes, ticket purchase is per screen where you may watch both movies showing (except when single billed). If you don't want to stay for the second film, you may leave. Likewise, if you don't want to see the first film, you may arrive at the drive-in for the second film 15 minutes prior to showtime.
The same movie is showing twice on my chosen screen. Can we watch another movie on a different screen?: Switching screens is not allowed. Occasionally the same movie plays twice instead of being paired with another one. When this happens you are welcome to stay and watch the movie a second time if you like.
Are all movies double features?: No, due to studio contracts, some movies must be single billed. The blockbusters are likely to be double features after a couple of weeks if they are still showing.
After the first movie can I turn my car around to watch a movie on another screen?: No, your ticket is for one screen only. Positioning your car to see another screen is not permitted.
How do we get sound to hear the movies?: We have FM Transmitters so you can play the audio through your car stereo!
Should I bring my own battery-operated radio or just use the one in the car?: If you are concerned that your car battery will run down, please bring a battery powered, portable FM radio.
Can I use a radio app on my phone to listen?: A small portable FM radio works best. We don't know of an Apple or Android app that works. They pick up internet radio not local. Also, we do not have wifi.
Can we bring chairs and sit outside the car?: Yes, but do so at your own risk. You may bring chairs and sit outside the car within your parking space. You may not set up chairs in the space next to you. Also, you must wear a mask at all times when outside your vehicle.
Can we watch the movie from the bed of our truck?: Yes, as long as you stay inside the vehicle and maintain social distancing. Keep in mind larger trucks must park towards the back of the theatre, so you do not block other's view.
Can I barbeque while we watch the movie?: Sorry, no. It's against fire regulations.
Can I bring my own food?: Yes, bringing in your own food and non-alcoholic beverages is allowed.
Can I bring a camper to the drive in?: Yes, on Sunday through Thursday nights. You must park in the oversize vehicle parking spots at the back of the theatre where it does not block other's view.
Can we bring in a group in a bus?: Sorry, for safety reasons we do not allow buses at the drive-in.
