Sunset has a very organized system, great setup with high quality displays. They have excellent selections of new releases, blockbuster hits, and classics at affordable pricing. Their online ordering system (for tickets and food) is very convenient and they provide generous sorting in between cars. Always a double feature for the price of 1, if you choose to stay that late. Theyre also good about enforcing cargo door hight restrictions and such. A wonderful place for a summer/autumn evening activity.

I really enjoy this experience. For context I haven’t been to a drive-in theater in almost 20 years so this was a really nice moment and a really good slice of life Time for me to turn off my mind and just lay back and enjoy a movie under the stars. There aren’t a ton of these in New York where I live so I will definitely consider making another trip up here even if it’s just for this to make a weekend trip out of it. Staff is friendly everything was clean and food at the snack bar was great , easy recommendation for me.

Sometimes you only know what kind of service you are going to receive is when something unexpected happens and that is what happened to us while we were at the Sunset drive in theater in Colchester. It was our first time, we watched the movie and left, no issues, food was as ordered, movie screen was okay, staff were friendly but nothing extraordinary and more than a typical movie going experience. But then we get home and I could not find my wallet, having made no other stops we return to the Sunset Drive-in theater not sure how we would be able to search in the dark, it was around 10:30 pm..and if we could even turn our lights on with movies still playing. To our pleasant surprise, the box office person was very helpful and radioed staff to help us look for the wallet. Two grounds crew met us in the row where we had parked and helped us search the parking spots and also looked in the car. They brought their flashlights and walked up and down with us, there was a not a single moment that I felt that I was being an inconvenience, everyone seemed like they cared about me finding my wallet. For some, this may be a typical experience, but us being minorities sometimes the level of service we receive varies unfortunately. We did not find the wallet at that time, but we are genuinely appreciative of the efforts of the staff. They were very nice, friendly, and showed real consideration for us which I believe is lacking in some service industries. The staff also took my number and name down, promising that if someone found it in the morning, they would call us which again was very thoughtful. Eventually, when we got back home, we found my wallet, after going through the car for a couple of hours..it had fallen into a crevice inside the door and it was very well hidden from all of us. This is a very simple act that the staff at the drive in theater, but it was a truly amazing experience for me given my small moment of crisis.

I have been many times over the years and I am always impressed. The screens look better than any other drive in I have been to. The snack shack makes loads of options for food and at a reasonable price. Even during covid they found a way to keep things chill and feel safe. Its always been a great time at this drive in and I look forward going again soon.

This was my first time at a drive in theater, so I dont have much to compare. I thought the picture was good. The sound is as good as it is in your car ( you tune to am FM station ). People largely kept their distance and wore masks outside of the vehicles. Bathrooms were the portable kind, so that could use improvement. The experience is different from a traditional theater but certainly fewer people having conversations during the film.

What a American classic! The experience connects you to a time almost forgotten. The magic of watching a movie from your car or back of your truck just cant be compared to todays theaters. Whether your with a date or your family, you wont be disappointed. Theres a classic concession stand and between movies, the classic, Lets all go to the Snack Bar intermission film plays! If youre looking for a memorable evening this is worth the drive! Our family ordered Chinese take out and tailgated during the movie. It was a blast!

I totally adore this place. Im from Florida where drive-ins are a thing. Sunset Drive-In fulfilled all my hopes and dreams! They have great choice in movies and the snack bar is super tasty and convenient. I cant wait to go back.

One of the best drive in movie theaters. Great space for families. 4 different screens that all play double features. Highly recommend.

This place is wonderful! 4 different screens playing at once and a fully stocked snack bar, who could ask for more?? The employees are wonderful and informative, they seem energetic about their job which is always great to see!

This is a pretty nice drive in. The prices went up a bit but with the economy im sure they have to survive to. The screens and the grounds are well taken care of and the snack bar has some good food to munch on. My only real gripe is the rude people who feel they have to come in late or switch screens and interrupt the other viewers.

Sunset Drive-In Is A Great Place to Go out on A Date , Family Movie night or just trying to get out of the House , They have Great Food At the Snack Bar , and Fantastic Staff , If I were you Id Go Check out the Drive In.

I havent been to a drive in theater in over 20 years, so it was fun to give the kids the experience of going to one for the first time. We parked with the tail gate facing the screen and let the kids sit in the back with the hatch on the SUV raised out of the way. 4 stars for good looking screens and decent sound - we did not visit the snackbar or use the facilities. Parking spots are first-come, first-serve and ticketing is done online. Prices may seem a bit steep at first, but compared to indoor movie going its reasonable - and you get a double feature of you want!

I never knew this drive inn existed until I started dating my husband! I wish drive inns would make a complete comeback! We love it here! They have four screens each with double features but you can choose a different movie/screen after the first movie! They always show the latest movies out They have a good variety of snacks. All prices are reasonable. My only complaints are 1)you sometimes have to deal with mosquitos and 2)we have to drive an hour to get there but...its worth it!

Good prices, family fun. Fries at the snack bar are the best!

The best way to spend a summer evening. 4 screens. Sit in your car or bring chairs and sit outside. Bring friends.

Well of course drive-in theaters are cool!!! And the Sunset is the best

As always, it was a good time. 4 screens give a number of options. The selection was a very nostalgic mix of films. Something for everyone.

This is an old time drive-in, perfect for quarantining with you pod and watching 1st run and older movies. There are 4 screens.

A fun old-time drive-in experience. Only gave 4 stars due to having to move because there are no instructions. We had a SUV and they arent allowed in the front 2 rows, so we had to move back. The guide there was telling every other car it seemed to move back, wasting a lot of time and causing unnecessary stress for people. Some signage and instruction at the front would help!

Love going to the drive-in. Nastalgic throwback from my childhood.

Great experience! Loved the movie and concession options, sound was great, and everything was affordable.

Its great way to watch movies, one that is sadly going by the wayside. I only wish their burgers were bigger.

They seem like they are doing everything to keep us safe. Thanks for being open!

First time ever at a drive in movie!! Loved ever second I was there!!!

Got to finally experience the drive in theatre and it was the best, our grown sons enjoyed as much as we did. Lovely old times feel.

Best Rona movie options! Plus delicious popcorn!

Theres not many drive-ins left in the world so that makes this place I must see during the summer with your kids and family. Everyone deserves to go to a drive-in movie theater and just experience the thrill of seeing a great movie on a big screen and listening to it on the radio in their car. The food at this place is amazing the staff are always incredible and itll be a night you never forget and your kids will remember it forever!

Fun place! 4 screens, lots of choices.

Although this is a fairly nice drive-in and clean food snack bar the movies that they choose to show are outdated, uninteresting, and not worth the cost to go watch. I believe if they had a better lineup they could increase their attendance.

An awesome family alternative to the inside theatres during covid time...was just like I remember from my childhood and glad to share the first time experience with my YouTube generation kids.

I am very grateful to still have a drive-in available in Vermont. One of my favorite places to go in the summer!

As far as my family is concerned this is the best drive in remaining in the country, there are some newer, some bigger, but sunset has an original and authentic experience that can take you back to the days of Grease, even their ads are older than me!

Great drive-in! Bright projectors, great food and multiple screens.

Weve been watching movies here for 20+ years... its a Must SEE experience for any movie lover.

Outside movies in ur car love the old school setting here

Whats to say. Its a drive in theater. If you have never done it you need to go now.

Great place hope people keep supporting them to keep them in business for a long time.....

Great family fun.

Ppl that work there are very nice. However theres alot of very rude ppl that go there and shine there lights all throughout the movie so that part sucks.

Great as usual! Thank you!

Love how they are playing the classics!

Had a great time. The young men working concessions were really helpful and friendly and everything was delicious. The only downside were the planes flying over , couldnt always hear the movie.

Nice place for a night out. My son could see all the screens..not big deal but with a violent movie had to get his attention back to the kid friendly movie.

So many gr8 memories and movies that my wife, niece, brother, dog and friends have cherished over the years. Summer cant arrive fast enough!

We love the drive ins for the movies in the summer. We visit often. I preferred when they had the carload rate but I also travel with 4 children so per person gets expensive. Make sure to bring a radio/speaker that can transmit FM radio if you are sitting outside. Enjoy!

Great experience to share with the younger generation. Screens were nice and parking area well maintained. Bathrooms were clean. Has a picnic area as well. It is a little difficult to find the entrance. We drove by a number of times. No speakers are left, only works off FM radio.

4 big screens and a great concessions stand, featuring chicken tenders, fries, ice cream, and much more, in addition to popcorn of course. Bring chairs and the family or turn on the ac in your car for a great experience under the stars. The theater gets pretty packed, especially on weekends, so come early to secure a good spot. Their playground is a bit dated but kids still have fun on it.

Always a pleasant place to watch a couple movies with wife,highly recommend

Mosquitoes can be ravenous at times, pre-covid times had lots of kids running around and was usually packed and men’s bathrooms could get gross.

Awesome local drive in with 4 screens and great snacks

Theres nothing bad about an evening at the drive in, and Sunset is terrific.

Drive in movies are awesome, only open on weekends though. Great food at the concession stand; chips, fries, burgers, lemonade, I only wish they also have milkshakes. But this is a classic American experience everyone should have. If I lived near here, I would go all the time!

Damn covid. No alone time with the playground closed.;)

The best show in the galaxy

Great family outing!

Like stepping into a time machine to days gone past, this drive-in theatre plays real film prints, has no pesky trailers and does multiple movies at the same time. Great place to cozy up and see a nice movie in peace. Oh, and theres a charming vintage intermission cartoon thats been the same for decades.

So great to have a drive in! I loved the atmosphere and the crew was so friendly. I’ll definitely go again

I have been coming here since I was a child. I saw almost every major childhood movie here and I love this place because of the memories. That being said the owner has seriously lost touch with what they sell: a movie experience. They should have invested in modern clean bathrooms and a new snack bar instead of a motel. The sound quality of the movies is so bad when a loud movie event occurs with deep bass I had to turn my radio down for fear of damaging my speakers (they need to turn the inputs down on their FM transmitters because it causes bass clip). A during guardians 2 a few years back the movie stopped playing 3 times. It ruined a rare date night with my wife. They told us to suck eggs instead of a refund or an offer for another movie some other time. I wanted to share my childhood memories with my own children but not if the movies are unreliable and poor quality. It hard enough to keep their attention in an actual movie theater without mosquitoes.

My favorite place to watch movies.

So I have not been to a Drive-in in years like 10. This place is right around the corner from my inlaws house. The price is right on for 2 movies as is the screen size. The location is great even if you are coming from Burlington. The cons were the bugs, mosquito bites are unreal. So bring bug spray and citronella. They sell the old fashioned coils at the snack bar as well.The thing that really gave it a 4 star is the last movie was advertised to start at 10:50 and was a full 34 minutes late starting. If that was not the movie we came for we would have left. Insane if you say 10:50 then start at 10:50. Overall a very nice place.

Who doesnt love the drive-ins???? I love this place. Ive been going to the Sunset drive-ins for more then 15 years, alot of great summer memories there!! I hope that there will be many many more years to come for this drive in

This is such an amazing treat! They have four screens and a snack bar, they still show the old intermission reels and its all family owned. Its definitely a place that feels like Vermont and I recommend you enjoy it as much as possible.

There is nothing quite comparable to the awesome experience of getting to watch a movie on a giant screen while relaxing in the comfort of your own car. My wife and I love it here and will continue to come back as we have never had a bad experience.

Great drive in movie theater. Snack bar is great, will make your food on the spot, snd reasonable prices.

One of the last Drive ins in the north east. Very clean and well kept. If you stay at the motel next store you get to see the movies for free. The motel is also very very clean and updated new.

Best place to take your kids or a date!!! Lots of fun and cheap too! 20 bucks for 2 adults to watch 2 movies! The food is good and reasonable! A summer staple for me for the past 38 years!!!

Good snack selection, great flicks

Two movies, mix and match, for less than the price of one at the theater. Ample room to set up a couple chairs and watch outside of your vehicle with a decent snack bar. 12 motel rooms available with passes top the drive in

Greatest place to watch a movie ever... EVER invented. 2 movies, one low price. And besides, down south, most of us were conceived at one of these.

Super funYou get to watch 2 moviesMuch less expensive than going to a theater

Great drive in. Watched The Incredibles 2. Its really nice to have that sound barrier between you and the other movie goers. People can rustle chip bags and ask questions without bothering you. The picture came in really clear and if youre stuck waiting for other people to leave after the movie, you can just look at the stars. A really nice retro experience.

Our first time in a drive-in and we had a great time. You can see two movies for quite cheap. A perfect date for a cool summer evening.

We have been going here for over 20 years and still enjoy going. Not much has changed since then. Snack bar, mini golf, and playground. 4 screens, usually showing a good variety of movies. We still love going here, one of the only places if its kind left!

Cool place, enjoyed ourselves

Discovered Sunset DI in 2015. Ive been traveling from Quebec for the drive in experience I never had as a boomer kid. Love the season ending dusk to dawn 5 movie challenge!

Fun like old times

My sisters and I grew up with a father who managed a drive in on Long Island. We were there all summer. It is so awesome to have one in Vermont! It’s such a great thing to look forward to in the summertime. Thank you for being here!

Great night with friends!!

Beautiful and quaint drive in theater! Good selection of snacks, too (and they take credit card for concessions).

Overall a great place to go, burgers,hotdogs,fries,chicken tenders, and all the usual movie snacks available. Playground for use before the movies start.

Great Place! one of the last drive ins left.

I love the drive in. You get to bring the food and drinks you want while watching a movie. You can see 2 or more movies in an evening for one price. Kids under 5 are free. They have a play area under screen 1 where kids can unload some of that built up energy before the movie starts. This drive in has 4 screens so when youre done one and want to see another at one of the other screens, you just drive over to watch it. Sometimes they have festivals that they show 3 or 4 movies on a day for one low price, not bad if you want to pull an all nighter. This place is where memories are made. I went here as a kid, and where Ive taken my kids, and now my kids are taking their children. So its been a tradition thats been going on for a long time and I hope continues on.

Awesome drive-in. The attendants actually remind vehicles to have lights off, park in different areas so smaller vehicles are in front and SUVs & trucks in the back. There is a snack bar and bathrooms too.

Our family has been coming here for nearly 3 decades. Always a fun experience!

The Sunset Drive In is the best! Friendly staff, great prices, an excellent snack bar, playground and mini golf - what more could you want? They even have a movie themed inn next door! The projectors are new so the picture is awesome. If you havent been, go! The Sunset is a gem!!

Started the movie while the suns was still up so we just basically had audio while missing foundation points for the movie. Also told that trucks and vans couldn’t be in the first three rows, we were in the third with no spaces behind us and showed up an hour early. Naturally they wait to ask us to move 15 mins before hand while having to be 5 rows back due to filled up spaces while other trucks and vans are in the second row. Seriously?? Tell us upfront or at least be consistent.

Great local place, good value, shame they don’t supply speakers, we had to keep switched our car radio back on.

Love this place. Always a happy face when you drive up to the window and you see the same friendly face year after year. Thanks for keeping this place opened. Ive been coming since I was a kid and I brought my own children.

Been gonig since I was littleFamily feel nice place to chill with family an friends an havent been recently but gonig tonight cant wait

$20 a carload. Double features. Concession stand,. Bathrooms. Can bring in own food drinks.

Very nice people, great prices. If you want to get a good spot get there alittle earlier.

I grew up going to drive-ins with my family, so I thoroughly enjoyed going here. Everyone was very friendly, and we had a great time. I will absolutely be returning soon!

This was our first time going to a drive-in and it was a great experience! The mosquitos were a little crazy but within a half hour the air had cooled enough to send them running. For the price of one ticket, you get to watch two movies and can change screens as you please. We did end up there close to 1 in the morning, but it was well worth it.Restrooms are clean and the snack bar has a little of everything (including bug spray!) With very reasonable prices.We had a great time and cant wait to do it again!

Worth seeing a drive in movie here.

Great time with the whole family!! Love having a Drive Ins around!!

Excellent! Value, quality, and service. Two movies for ten bucks a person. Five bucks for kids. Wide variety of snacks in the concession stand, though you can bring your own, too. Drive in movies are increasingly rare, but this one is always hopping.

So cute! Very nice, clean, small hotel complex with movie star themed rooms. Room was very nice sized and looked new. Very pleasant experience and we loved it. Away from center of town, but close to Vermont Teddy Bear Factory.

Always a great experience. Awesome food too. You cannot find a better dinner and a movie value.

I love the drive in! They have been around for the longest time. 2 movies for the price of one. $10 per adult. 11 y.o. and under is $5.

Good old school drivein. I say old school because nothing has been replace since the 80s other than the projectors and credit card machines. In some places, it gives it an nostalgic feel when you see your kids play on the swings you used to play on when you were little. But sometimes it gives it a cheap feeling, like the Mens bathroom on screen one (the only one Ive ever been in). But you get two movies for the price of one, and there is something special about seeing a movie in the fresh outdoors.
