Hadnt been to a drive-in theatre in many, many, years. It was a fun experience overall. There were what appeared to be rust stains coming down the screen though in the center where two pieces come together. That was kind of distracting and I found myself constantly focusing on that. Overall though I recommend checking it out, especially in the current state of COVID and regular theatres not exactly being safe to attend.

Great place and very nice staff. Helpful to first timers and welcoming to everyone. It was a really nice experience. They kept everyone a safe distance with accordance to social distancing. Will highly recommend to others to visit! Thanks.

Super cool experience for those of us who didnt grow up in the era. (Sorry grandma ) great for dates or even family movie nights with a truck or spacious car.Have a good working radio! (Car radio works too)There is a concession stand, but it was closed due to that wonderful virus.() still great fun.

Great family outing or date night! Classic atmosphere, beautiful setting for a sunset before the movie, and rural area for some awesome stargazing once its dark. The snack bar has some great food, so plan for that. Bring blankets and pillows, maybe bug spray, and enjoy a night getting back to basics. Leave the technology in the car, and sit out under the stars for an experience youll remember.

Always a great time for the family. Very clean, and good quality viewing. Staff is always friendly and amazing. They have reasonable prices and a great selection at the concession stand. I love that they rent radios and a way to jump your car if you are having problems. They really have thought of everything.

This place is very nostalgic. Love it here. My ONLY complaint is that they need to upgrade the audio transmitters or change the frequencies. The back theater has quite a few dead spots. Will change to 5 stars when this gets better.

Great place to watch a couple movies with the family. Fair admission price, lots of room, and theyre handling Covid pretty well too with spacing and ordering food from the concession stands on the app so you ha e less contact with people. They could use a little air freahener in the bathrooms but they were clean and comfortable. (Not gross like a gas station bathroom) all in all it was a great girls night.

Used the restroom. There was no soap in either container to wash my hands. The lady cleaning the bathrooms told me to just use hand sanitizer because I dont have time to refill the soap. Wow ok. I can definitely take my business somewhere that isnt an hour from my home. Some place that has time to fill the soap.

Capri Drive-In was my families first ever drive in movie experience and we had the best time there!The bathrooms were similar to park bathrooms, but definitely cleaner.The snack shop appeared clean and the employees were quick and efficient while taking orders. The prices were lower than we were expecting them to be, so thats always a plus.We live about an hour away, but it was well worth the drive. We cant wait for the next time were able to go to Capri!

We enjoyed the Capri two Fridays in a row, one alone and one with 2 grandkids. Just wish the second movie was as family friendly as the first. We left because of it being inappropriate for the kids.

Good concert but not worth over 114.00. Not because the concert wasnt good but because of the sound. You have a choice turn your radio on every 15 mins or soOr you can rent a am radio. Best place to park if you go is near the concession stand they have sound there.

Absolutely horrible parked away from everyone because our lights don’t fully turn off. Was forced to turn off our car by some random lady which shut off the radio so our kids couldn’t even hear the movie. Some car full of teenagers came in after us and decided to park too close to our car and then had some random lady come and harass us until we were forced to leave. Wasted $30 for two movies so my kids could do something exciting and only got to watch one and a half

I’ve been to your theater a few times and have always enjoyed it but the fact that you’re going to open up against the stay at home order is just wrong you’re putting peoples lives at risk! Do you think I don’t want to get out of the house and go to a movie and go to dinner again of course I do but I’m not selfish like you I stay home I do what I’m supposed to do in hopes that things will eventually get better you should be ashamed of yourself and I hope they fine you Each and every day and when your business is completely gone because you thought you were better than everybody else you deserve itI will not be a customer ever again

Well run. Very clean and family friendly. Good snack bar. My only issue is I dont like that you can see the other screen (if Im there with kids on one screen and theres a rated R movie on the other they can see everything). But overall this is a nice place to see a movie.

Review №66

The system was too dark to see the movie! We moved our vehicle 4 times because of SUVs leaving their tail gates open. Which blocked the dark screen. Not worth the $10 per person.

Review №67

Love visiting here. Kids love playing on the big front lawn before the shows so we usually bring frisbee or balls to throw or kick around. It’s fun to watch all the kids playing before the show.Then the cool retro refreshment stand is fun to go through with great food I may add.GREAT FAMILY entertainment! Hope to be there tonight

Visited for the first time on 7/23/19 with my wife to watch The Lion King. What a fun place Capri is! Its almost festive the way everyone is with their setups to watch the movie! Clear screen. Good grading to give the front of your vehicle lift so your slightly angled upward. Cool concession stand. 2 screens, double features. $10 a person for adults. Will be going back here very often. Clean spaces as well and staff are accommodating and helpful.

Review №72

Really great classic movie experience. The picture quality and radio broadcast of the sound are great. Its a little hard to see everything if the sky isnt completely dark but thats to be expected. The only downside to the Capri is the concession. While there isnt a lack of different options to choose from the quality and value leave something to be desired. Still, an overall fun experience. Would highly recommend for a great night out.

They charge per person rather than vehicle so our giant truckload of kids was more than expected, but staff was friendly and we had a great time. Although I did not- you can bring your own beer! Awesome!!!

I wish I could give this place a 5 star rating but the experience I had wasnt the best! I havent been here in two years and I was so disappointed! The customer service wasnt that great to begin with the guy at the gate acted like he didnt even wanted to be there. He didnt even tell us what radio station the movie was on. The girl at the snack bar gave me an attitude since I was paying my food with a credit card. The BBQ sandwiches that we got was more bread than meat! For that price we couldve gotten an actual sub from subway with way more fillings! After the first movie we wanted to get some drinks and the snack bar was already closed! I remembered they used to announce when they would be closing the snack bar on the radio station after the first movie! Man what a waste of money I feel and couldve gone to the regular theater in Battle Creek and gotten service with a smile. Drove for 45 minutes was a waste of time! Dont know what happened to this place? But its a shame!

My family had been going to this drive-inn for decades! The prices for the movies arent outrageous & I always stop at Dollar Tree for some snacks & sometimes Little Caesars! It is lerfect for any family! & If you worry about your car running all of that time, then you can just rent a radio for $3 & they work great!

Review №95

No intermission during the 3-hour Avengers film. A bit run-down and it was very frustrating trying to find the exit. The concessions building is advertised in the brochure to be featured on a Food Network Top Five show, yet featured warmer-maintained burgers and hot dogs and a very limited selection. I was unable to get a glass of ice water. The only drinks offered were bottled: A water and a Pepsi (small bottles) were upwards of $6. The carmel corn and popcorn were good and there was a bit of nostalgia maintained in the interior, but overall, a disappointment. Sad to see that yet another American symbol appears to slowly be going to pieces. Maybe having a greater appreciation for the experience and giving the owners a better turnout would save these unique symbols of who we are. Or were.

Really nice. However I have a loud truck that doesnt play the radio unless its running and I dont think there are speakers anywhere for the audio. So movie was really quiet lol. Not Capris fault, just remember to bring a small radio if your vehicles like mine.

Always go Tuesdays for their carload deal, $25 and everyone gets in! Good movies, fun times outdoors, and decent sound quality (as long as your stereo functions). Movies start at sundown, so Google it and then give yourself time to stop and get snackies at the store first!
