| - I've visited the Boulevard Pool in the past to "check it out" and found it AWESOME. For this visit I was planning to spend some time at the pool when I heard about Dive In Movies on Monday nights in the summer. Just the event I was looking for in this crazy hot weather on Labor Day.
We arrived at 7PM ON THE DOT at the pool to nab some lounge chairs with a view of the marquee where the movie would be playing. Then we spent the hour before the movie started playing in the pool and Jacuzzi and sipping on frozen concoctions from the bar. It was hot for night time, but that made the pool even more enjoyable.
The movie we watched was The Social Network, which I had seen, thank goodness. Here is what I learned about Movies at the Boulevard Pool. The picture isn't great, but I didn't expect it to be amazing. The sound where we were sitting was really bad. Our seats were near the bar and that made it difficult to hear anyway what with the background noise going on, but the speakers near us caused kind of a echo or something that made it difficult to hear. Next time, we will definitely try another location. Because, if I have my way, there WILL be a next time! Sound aside, it was so much fun.
Along with the booze, they also sell popcorn, hot dogs and you can even order a big picnic basket for two for $50. It's a pricey place to play, but it was worth the experience. It's a really awesome pool area with lots to do besides just swimming and the Monday night Dive In Movie was a hit for us.
WHAT CAN THEY DO TO GET FIVE STARS?
~fix the sound! Really, that's pretty much it.
~Make it for adults only... please please please
