I love movies but I love the experience of going to movies even better. A trip to the cineplex today is not what it used to be. Long lines, rude patrons, armed security in the lobby, over-priced concessions and commercials before the movie. All of this for upwards of $8 a ticket! There's a better way to see movies and it's at the drive-in - the Mayfield Drive-In.
This place is a real throw back to the days when people went to the movies to, you know, see movies and not text their friends. The admission price can't be beat: just $20 per car. You can pay $5 to bring in outside food. But I honestly don't mind spending a few extra bucks at the concession stand. My feeling is, this is where the operators make their profit and they are doing something of a public service by operating the drive-in, so buying concessions is my way of giving back. Besides the concessions are typically less expensive than what you pay at the theater.
The drive-in experience is a blast. Pull your car in (or back up your SUV), turn on the radio and settle in for a double feature of the summer's biggest blockbusters. No extra charge for the fresh air and summer night sky.
The staff here is great. We had some trouble figuring out how to turn off our interior lights and one of the employees helped us. The folks at the concession stand are quite nice.
The Mayfield Drive-In is the perfect way to spend a summer evening. If you long for the old school experience of going to the drive-in or if you just want a better movie-going experience, see a movie here. You won't be disappointed.
