Awesome drive-in! I have been going to this family friendly spot for close to 20 years and it never disappoints. Every weekend from May until memorial day they run double features on two screens. The value is amazing since it s about $32 per car and you can easily buy your tickets online in advance. Concession stand has a large variety and is reasonably priced. The bathrooms are very simple and usually clean. You can arrive up to one hour before showtime so that you can get your set up going while the kids run around playing ball or blowing bubbles. Well behaved dogs that don t bark are always welcome. My favorite part is the vintage promos and teasers that run before and in between feature films. This experience truly is a treasure and is an affordable way to create memories for decades.

I need to go more often! This place is great. Good sound through your car's radio. Good picture on the screen. Food is reasonably priced and good too. Bathrooms were clean and kept up with.

Excellent! Good food options. Staff is super friendly. Restrooms are clean. The picture quality is also good considering such a large screen. Make sure you have a good FM radio, if not they rent radios.

Absolutely love this place! Lots of parking, great prices (soft serve and medium popcorn is $10), they do free jumps if your car dies, and the staff are all very nice. Looking forward to coming back in 2024

We bought tickets to a double show. My kids had their first drive-in experience and they loved it. Huge plot so plenty of parking. Concession stand sells lots of goodies as well as ice cream. Clean restrooms. Friendly staff. Great experience all round!!

Awesome drive-in, great value for double feature! It does get cold by the 2nd show, so bundle up and bring extra blankets. Clean restrooms, running water. Food was decent - I would bring something to have during the 1st show (you can t leave and come back). Then purchased something hot there for 2nd show to support business. Concession staff were so nice!My only complaint was that some cars left their engine running - not sure if there is a rule about it so I ended up moving so that I didn t have to directly smell it. Put the car radio in accessory and it works well.

Really nice drive-in. Screen is nice and big. Plenty of good viewing spots. Sound is good. Lots of food snack options or you can bring your own. Be aware that they can't start the movies until the sun has set, otherwise you won't be able to see the projection.I like that they have rules about the head and tail lights being turned off, and hatchbacks not being open above the roofline of the car. They have string so people can tie their hatchbacks down. Despite multiple warnings two cars in front of us refused to turn off their lights, and we had to get the manager to talk to them.We were glad that they were enforcing COVID-19 mask protocols at the concession stand and in the bathrooms, which were very clean.Overall, we had a good experience despite the annoying people, and the movie being meh. We'd go back for another movie.

I've been coming to this drive in since the 80s. I love it. Just the right combination of nostalgia and modern. Food is now ordered at outside windows, due to Covid changes, but it's still convenient and quick. Bathrooms are basic but clean.

A fun little place to watch a couple movies. The price was affordable, especially when you can load up your car with people and it'll be way cheaper than going to a regular movie theater. The icecream serving was a fair size for the price and the bathrooms were large and clean.

Great way to spend the evening with family and friends. Been going to the drive for 43years and it's still just as fun as when I was a small child. Bring bug spray though!!

We went to a drive in movie Saturday night. It was a calculated decision, we're both vaccinated now, and there was social distancing and mask mandates outside the vehicles.We bought tickets online and the process was pretty simple.Was surprised to discover that the staff took the pandemic precautions very seriously. We were also pleased to see that the staff was as friendly as we remember, from the ticket booth to the concession stand.All the boxes were checked. We brought a cooler full of drinks and food and bought from concession anyways, which was great. Action movie double feature, including Godzilla v King Kong. Loved the music before and between the movies, The Pic advert, the dancing candy at intermission have special places in my heart and it was a joy to see then again.People were unmasked while they were in and around their vehicles, but were pretty diligent masking up when they stepped away.The only downer, and it's understandable is that the playground is gone now.Big fan of the Milford Drive-In and this experience reinforced that.

We had a great time at the Blake Shelton Concert. It was something different to get us out during the pandemic. Everyone was really nice. We got to bring our 6 month old puppy which was really cool. The food was good and not too expensive.

Great theater! Decided to try it out after being constantly let down by Mendon in MA. They're both about an hour drive from me.First of all, great work keeping covid 19 measures in place and enforced. Don't think I saw anyone breaking rules, probably bc they have signs and announcements to remind everyone how to be safe and make it clear "no mask, no service" felt very safe and I appreciated that a lot.The projector looked fantastic as well. They started the first movie before the sun had completely set (but it was more dark than light out already) and I had no issues with the picture, it looked bright, clear and perfectly centered, they know what they're doing.I didn't try the food on this visit but the concession area was close by and safely set up. I'll definitely give it a swing on next visit!I saw them on Facebook asking for movie suggestions which is great as well, saw a lot of people asking for some throwback horror and I hope they listen! Refreshing to see after I was blocked on facebook by the Mendon Drive In for suggesting other movies than the same 10 they always play! I was pretty excited to see Grease and Footloose playing tonight, definitely something different to mendon although could probably stand to be a tad more adventurous with their programming, but so far I can't complain too much, definition of a big leap in all ways compared to Mendon!

It never gets old having the old style drive-in. They are even ready for you if your battery dies! Our battery was dead at the end of the day and an employee was ready to jump us! The only thing I would change is someone to enforce the rules like there was years ago. Still a 5-star!

I have been going to Milford drive in for 25 years, its the same as its ever been. When i was little there was a playground, when i was a teen the where remote control race cars and as i became a mom and started bringing my littles here there was a slide. My oldest is now 15 and its just a drive in with a Gentleman who likes to ramble on with the movies paused for a solid 5 minutes... the cars and there drivers are getting worse at attending the drive in, the cars headlights are these led i can count the hairs on a raccoons a$$hole and they are eye level the theater will allow late admission to the show and cant stop folks from leaving so there are constantly cars moving in and out of the "theater". If the theater is reading this, a small suggestion hire a teenager for each screen to help direct cars to where you want them or atleast how you would like cars to park.Still a great way to see a movie and inexpensive for anything more than 3 people you can purchase your cars ticket online or in line. As a generational drive in attendee a recomendation is to bring a battery operated radio to tune into your movie. Drive ins have always been a social experience. We would like to keep them that way.Concessions are open but pricey (as any theater) but you can bring in anything you could want with respect. Bathrooms are available relatively clean as the night progresses.

My family and I started going to the Milford Drive-In Theater in 2022. The last Drive-Theater I went to was in Lunenburg MA. After that theater closed many years ago finding a drive-in Theater was extremely difficult. I heard of the Milford Theater and decided to give it a chance. The Milford Drive-In offers two screens which plays two movies per screen. The movies are up-to-date and NEWLY released just like a regular walk in theater. There is a wide variety of food, ice cream and drinks all available at a more then reasonable price. In addition, in the event your vehicle battery dies you can borrow at the concession stand "battery jumper packs". This is a great place to bring the family. It's clean and a great atmosphere

We love this community Drive in Theater and try to make it at least once or twice per summer. They have great double features, good concessions, and a family-friendly atmosphere. The $32/car rate is well worth the experience.

We look forward to getting some movies in at Milford Drive-in. Ppl even get there early and play wiffle ball or frisbee before the shows start. Great place! Owners do a great job keeping this childhood memory alive for my kids!!! Cant thank them enough for the memories I was able to share with my boys!

We love going here to watch the movies on the big screen with our kids. Don't forget the bugspray though those mosquitos don't play. Our new car radio wasn't working for the station our first time back this year but they do sell little portable radios for $20 so we didn't miss out. $33 for 2 movies for up to 5 people in the car beats any movie theater pricing. Though we usually only stay for 1 movie

Always an amazing experience! With all of the upheaval this year, they did a PHENOMENAL job with the COVID restrictions keeping everyone safe while still making sure the snack bar and restrooms were accessible. They set up an online ticketing system and the information was extremely clear! A huge kudos to the staff and management to a job well done in very trying circumstances . It brought a sense of normalcy to life in an uncertain time.

Love this place. Bring bug spray!!!!!!! I usually pack a cooler, trash bags, bring chairs, the dog, and bedding for the back. Sometimes play catch during intermission. Miss the playground. Bathrooms are clean. Just all around a good time. You can heckle, scream, eat 3 day old salmon... No one cares. Just enjoy the show and your privacy.

Drive-ins are rare these days but this one carries on the spirit of them very well. Super friendly staff, affordable and wide variety of food. Great movie experience.

Awful experience. Took the kids here for a fun night out. The overhead lights didn t come on until it was far too late. There is a random dark colored pole on the end of the isle, set a bit into the dirt road that leads to the parking spaces. Ended up side swiping it because it was not able to be seen. All of the other end poles are at least a light grey or even white. It s clear that this pole has been hit a few times as it sits on a concrete block. I let the owner, Barry, know and got nothing but attitude in return. Their site also welcomes pets, however with a single bark while Barry was doing his rounds, I was told to put my dog in the car because he is on too long of a leash. I took the time to talk to Barry and show him the pole, as well as clear up the dog situation. As soon as he walked by again the dog barked once more (what dog wouldn t when a dark figure walks by?) and he said it s my rules now. Put the dog in the car. I ll be calling my insurance company about the pole and damage to my truck.

This is the best way to watch a movie. The movie price is VERY cheap because not only do you get 2 movies for the price of one, but you can have cars of up to 6 people! You can bring your own food and drinks too, but I highly recommend the concession stand because they have very fair prices, and the food is great. They even have an ice cream stand, and a playground for kids too.

Loved going to a Drive Inn after 10 years of not going! Had to keep it alive, though the 40 minute drive home at 12:30 at night was the only bummer. Would love one a little closer to Lowell Ma, or Honolulu for that fact since I moved there. Went with my mom with take out Greek Food. Loved the double feature, sound quality out of the radio was good. Only a couple of mosquitoes

I LOVE this place! During this covid-time they've been playing really great classic movies! (Covid rules: Everyone Must wear a mask for interacting with employees and when you can't distance yourself. ex: at the entrance/ticket taker, at the concession stand, in the bathroom.) I especially love the horror movie combos! This is my 4th time coming here. Employees are always super nice and helpful. It's a very laid back and relaxing time. The concession stand has a variety of (not especially healthy) food and candy to choose from. Bathrooms are always clean and we'll lit to find mid movie. I love drive-ins!

For years I have always enjoyed going here! There are two screens and good concessions with decent prices and portions. The bathrooms were very clean and the entire experience is easy and relaxing. I have enjoyed every encounter with my car neighbors and have had no problems or complaints. Family friendly, I highly recommend!

Love this drive in. Prices are creeping up but at least you still get 2 movies and the food quality is okay. I do wish less drugs were being done here as I have young kids who shouldn't be smelling pot. I hope the movies coming are packaged together nicely because it would be good to come back here this season.Update: still a decent drive in. Could do with lower concession prices though. It's over 32 dollars a car or 6 people.

Compact but has everything I want in a drive-in. Good concession stand, extremely friendly staff, they even rent portable radios and are very upfront about what to do if your car battery died.

Love this place. Sometimes buggies come out so, bug spray. The line at concessions stand looks long, but is quick and reasonable. Most all spots have a good view.
