A working drive-in where sound comes through your car radio, and loaner radios are available. Reviewers call tickets and concessions reasonably priced and the popcorn good, but say the food line moves slowly, so join it as soon as you arrive. Some had sound trouble at the start of the film.
A classic single-screen drive-in running since 1956, where families tune the movie in on the car radio under a wide desert sky. Affordable and nostalgic, often showing current releases. Bring blankets and camp chairs for the truck bed, and arrive early since it fills up on weekends.

What a wonderful throw-back to a simpler time. There were some sound issues at the beginning of the movie but once it was corrected, i enjoyed the entire experience. If you're looking to experience something most people don't get to experience, bring an open mind and a sense of adventure, recline your seat and enjoy the experience. The popcorn was delicious too!

I recently visited the Smith’s Ranch drive-in movie theater, and it was an enchanting experience! Everything worked seamlessly, making it one of the best nights I’ve had in a long time. The prices were incredibly reasonable, with tickets and concessions like popcorn and drinks being generously affordable. Watching a movie under the stars with excellent audio through our FM radio and a crystal-clear screen was truly special. The exceptional staff, who were friendly and eager to ensure we had a fantastic experience, added a personal touch to the evening. Overall, our visit was a perfect blend of nostalgia, fun, and relaxation, and I highly recommend this drive-in theater for an affordable, enjoyable night out under the stars!
