Very fun experience!-audio gets pumped through your speakers via radio.-visual quality is not amazing, its difficult to see whats going on in a darker movie.Overall the experience is great though, and its fun to get to go to the movies during these COVID times!

My first impression was oh good God here we go! Then after entering the experience was so Grand I knew I would be returning! The food was great and convenient and the movie experience for Bill and Ted and then Rocky was so epic it will forever remain in my memory bank!

I loved that they did a truck or treat here. It was a fun thing to enjoy even in the hard days that were all going through.

Normally they play older (Not old school, but 3-8 year old movies) and well known movies so dont expect to see the newest movies here.However you get an experience here largely extinct in the modern world: Drive in movie viewing with your car radio as the speaker for your movie projected on a big screen above the establishment. There is a building available for popcorn, soda and treats and bathrooms.

Very helpful employees. Great outdoor theater. Concession prices about the same as all theatres. Bring your chairs and make it a picnic and a movie night.

Took the kids and family for their first time. Very clean, friendly service. Concession prices still beat Edwards Theatre. Will probably end up going a few more times this summer. Only issue I saw was watching the slightly younger staff members trying to open a nacho cheese bag but it was entertaining to say the least. Highly recommend!

Three screens, and broadcasting audio on FM radio, with stadium seating ample space Garth Brooks was awesome. The concessions were priced reasonable. Portable restroom was clean. I will be going back to take in movies, prices are very affordable.

It was a blast from the past. Reasonable price for admits and was showing current films. I think this trend of drive in could be the social distance champ for people worries about being around one another.

Old school Drive-in theatre. Dirt field, narrow lanes and cozy snack bar does not get any better than this. Only thing missing was the playground under the screen. They need the bring back the drive-in.

The Terrace Drive-In is an old-school place open for 30 years Caldwell, Idaho. It is family owned and operated. We are now open for the 2020 season. We are open Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. And well stay open rain or shine weather permitting. Most of our movies are rated PG with an occasional R rating.Being a drive-in movie place we dont start until the sun goes down. We have a yellow building where there is concessions and restrooms inside. We welcome everyone out of this year, and are officially open. We are excited to serve the treasure valley and surrounding community ( ies).

After a car struck our car and three other cars in the first 45m of the movie, my wife and I struggled to get any assistance from the staff. There were at least two children that were in vehicles and yet the staff went right back to the gate to continue allowing more people in an already overcrowded venue. Absolutely terrible experience.

Review №24

Love this place. Its cheap, its well run, it has double feature every night its open, and has a good selection of films each week. I live in Boise and go out to Terrace Drive-In Theatre pretty much every weekend. SO happy that there is still a Drive-In theatre that I can go to in 2019. Its a big deal. The owner is generous and lovely, the workers are nice and helpful. Youll be missing out if you dont experience it.

We had a great time. No complaints at all. The place was clean inside and outside, including the restrooms. The popcorn was good but tasted a little like it might not be made on site. I would not hesitate to go again.

The options for old fashioned drive-in theaters in the area are very limited. For those coming from Boise or Meridian Terrace is definitely the closest. I’ve been here many times and I’ve always had a good time! The movie prices are pretty low especially when compared to movie theaters in the area, you basically get to see two movies for the price of one. The concessions are also priced fairly. Pro Tip: fill the bed of a truck with pillows or a mattress and blankets. Also don’t forget to start your car periodically so the battery doesn’t die while you’re listening to the movie on your radio.

We were planning to try out this theater, but unfortunately some poor advertising and lack of communication helped us decide to take our business elsewhere. Their website needs help. They still have the sample page up. Also, we checked the website one weekend and it said it was the last weekend they were showing a particular movie. We didnt want to see that movie. So we watched and waited all week for them to update the movie on the website, planning to go. However, when they updated the website with the opening times and dates, it said that it was the last weekend for the SAME movie again. I called the business number with a question regarding admission. They never contacted me, and their recording included the same false advertising regarding it being the last weekend for a particular movie. In the end, we drove to another drive-in theater in the county with more competitive movie titles, better advertising, and newer releases for the same price.

Good, family fun. The popcorn is not very good, but the concession prices are way cheaper than a theater ($4.50 for a large popcorn.)

Review №34

They were over croweded no where to park. Nothing on their website said anything about masks so we did not have my daughters mask she could not go inside to use the restroom. Where we had to park the radio we rented from them would not get signal just static. Just all over horrible experience this time.

Its a fun family night. The owners are nice. They make the best hamburgers. Their prices are reasonable and I can take my puppy with us. I went there recently and its got terrible customer service the popcorn was literally cold and tasted old...it didnt even smell like popcorn in the lobby like it used to. So sad that someone else is running it now. I didnt see that they made hamburgers or hot dogs anymore. The poor girl working the concession got yelled at by the older lady for trying to take my money at the wrong register.. Almost not even worth it anymore. I had a punch card from last year and they almost didnt accept it. The whole experience was just sad.

Amazing place for a drive in with your family. Down side, expect the scum of the earth who dont know how to stand in line. Weve been cut off a million times by those that dont speak well nor understand what a line means. Know what your getting into and that facility wont curb bad patrons.

Review №39

I would give 5 stars, but they need to smoth the entrance out so cars dont have such a hard time; the debit card readers where down. So unless you had cash there where no concessions... other wise the people where great and the out door theater is still one of the coolest

Havent been to a drive in theater in 30 years. What a blast! Familys hanging out with their kids, couples snuggling in the back of their trucks and teenagers making out, just like the good ole days. It was $8 a person and the picture quality was better than I expected. The dark scenes are a little muted but the sound is transmitted through ur car radio which is awesome. Last time I went you had to hang the speaker on your car window. Didnt go to the snack shack so I have know clue what they offered, price or quality. Of course we brought our candy and junk food in with us. Well definitely be back and I highly recommend it. Great date night activity!

Amazing price for a great experience. You get two movies for less then a ticket at the main movie theaters. Concessions are well price, screens are easier to see then expected. With the sound being pumped to the radio you can have it as loud or quiet as you like.

It was alright. Some people dont know how to work their vehicle lights which can be annoying. If its just two people, you can park facing forward, but if you have more, its definitely best to back in. I thought they had pretty decent deals on the concessions though.

Brings back memories of high school taking your date to the Drive In. A double feature will keep you there till 1:30am. But for the price of the tickets its inexpensive. Authentic 1930s popcorn and other snacks.

I prefer the one in Parma. But this one is less of a drive from Boise.Lot could use an update. Dusty and bad slopes.Cars get high centered. Trucks are to long to maneuver easily inbetween rows.

Oh my gosh this place is so cute! Traditional drive in experience but also has a concession with popcorn, soda, and real food for dinner too! Indoor bathrooms which to me is super important because I am a clean freak. Wayyyyyy cheaper than the big movie theatres for sure.

The only thing that would make this place better is having all three screens working as it can get super crowded. Other than that, I love that you get two movies for the price of one.

Same drive-in I went to as a kid. This place is great! I hope theyre around for years to come. Audio from movie comes through your car stereo so bring the big system out! Gone are the days of this great American past-time. Take your kids if theyve never been. Prices are great and its always a double feature!

Ca
Review №76

A great place to go see a couple movies for a good price. This is also a great option if you have younger children who arent quite ready to go to the theater. The concessions are also priced fairly. While there are a couple improvements to be made, you can definitely tell that the owner cares about the drive-in experience.

Review №86

We drove 45 minutes to the theater, where we were unable to find the enterance due to all the road construction. The detour signs led us nowhere. When I called the theater, there was only an automated message and no options to talk to an actual person. Instead of a fun evening watching movies, we wasted over an hour and a half driving. This was an incredibly disappointing experience, considering I had enjoyed all my other trips here. I definitely dont recommend trying to go to the movies here until all this road work is done.
