Always an amazing experience! With all of the upheaval this year, they did a PHENOMENAL job with the COVID restrictions keeping everyone safe while still making sure the snack bar and restrooms were accessible. They set up an online ticketing system and the information was extremely clear! A huge kudos to the staff and management to a job well done in very trying circumstances . It brought a sense of normalcy to life in an uncertain time.

The food is excellent that tastes fresh as the employees went out of their way to make sure we had the best tasting food as possible. It is extremely clean with the grounds being kept up. A customer who refused to wear a mask was asked to leave as the manager Jamie made sure the customers were protected as well as her staff. It made me feel valued as a customer knowing they weren’t messing around with the rules. Audio and picture was also fantastic. I bought a ton of their concessions because their food is excellent especially their warm tasty popcorn, cheeseburger, fried dough and pretzel which was great. Can’t wait to come back!

Have been going here for years. Two great movies for a good price. And, who wouldnt love being outside under the stars? One memorable time is when we went to see Metallica there. What a great time we had, and what a great idea. Concerts at the drive-in. Pretty cool. Thank you! And, well see you next year.

Hot chocolate was hot and good. Movies have been great. Love the vintage commercials that play beforehand.

I took my family For the very first time last weekend (we watched the joker and then the nun.) We loved it. Staff is very warm and welcoming. Prices were good and food was hot and fresh. They offered free rope for anyone with a hatch up which i thought was generous to do.The bathrooms were very clean and neat.We absolutely had a great time and are going back again.The best part was hot chocolate on a cold night steaming hot. Yummy Thank-you to all the wonderful staff who made our experience so wonderful and thank you for all your hard work behind the scenes“please note”bring a radio to tune into the channel they use to hear the movie there are no Outside speakers, or you will need to listen through your vehicles speakers.

I’ve enjoyed the Drive In since the 1960’s. I’m so happy the Milford Drive In is still open, as many have closed over the years.It’s a 45 minute drive for us (one way) but we visit every summer! It’s one of our favorite nostalgic family traditions, that we always look forward to. We’ll be back next year!

Very long line going in, but we got a good spot and the screens are nice. The concession stand was amazing! Most places have food, but its terrible. This place had the best popcorn, chicken fingers, onion rings and ice cream i have ever had at the movies.

The drive in is great. The movie started an hour late so we only stayed for one movie hence the missing star. Some people were extremely rude with headlights and trunk lids. Pretty much to be expected everywhere these days. Please try to be excellent to each other.

We always have a great time!The workers practiced social distancing and wore masks and gloves due to covid-19 which was a big relief. Everything there was handled very well given whats going on in our country this year. Been coming here for over 20 years and hope to go for another 20.

We had a great time at the Blake Shelton Concert. It was something different to get us out during the pandemic. Everyone was really nice. We got to bring our 6 month old puppy which was really cool. The food was good and not too expensive.

This spot is great for socially distanced fun. Tasty, inexpensive food and clean bathrooms. Staff wore masks and those who handled food also had on rubber gloves. I had a good time.

Treating a bunch of 12-13 year old girls to a night of movies under the stars was a great way to get thru the summer during these tough times. It was safe, family friendly, and nostalgic for us old foggies that remember drive Ins as a kid. Thanks for a great season!

This is a fantastic place to spend an evening watching movies under the stars. The lots are clean, audio channels are clear, and the projection is sharp. Its immediately apparent that the owner cares about this business, and the experience of their partrons. I was very impressed to hear him come over the channel in defense of his staff after a few patrons were out of line and not following the posted rules. Well definitely be frequenting here more often!

Review №16

So much fun! The screens were a lot bigger and had a lot better of a picture quality then I thought they were going to. The concession stand had your usual assortment of amusement park type food but surprisingly, it was mostly reasonably priced. The staff was all friendly from what I could see.I felt like I was transported back in time. This was my first drive-in experience and I will absolutely be back in the near future!

My college roommate and I met up at this drive-in since its halfway between the both of us. When we had questions beforehand they were super quick to respond. We went on opening night, and the owner asked me to move my car (I parked too far away!). He was super nice and polite. It was nice to see him being so present at the theatre. The food was super good and was priced super reasonably! We really loved it there, and we cant wait to go back again(:

The best experience ever!!! Im 32 and been doing drive ins since I was a kid they closed our local tri town and we started going to Milford ten years ago. I cant not say enough about the entire experience from waiting for dark, swings, adventure, amazing fun food, and all around best staff. If youve never been go here if you go somewhere else our 1 hour drive is always worth it even going home in late hours. Best drive in experiences ever

Milford Drive-in was so much fun! I haven’t been to a drive-in movie since I was a kid and this place has it all! Thank you so much for opening during the pandemic. It was a long overdue night out that was a blast !

Review №21

Smells like a farm, but if you tell yourself it is a farm filled with happy cows on a healthy diet of green grass it is completely bearable. Met a nice family lead by a gentleman who goes by the name of Dan Mac(please contact me when you get your business online!!). They went home at the end of the first movie, but left us with some holistic incense for the bugs. Which reminds me, BRING BUG SPRAY.

Review №24

I grew up in Milford and have gone here since I was a kid. Lots of great memories and always a great time. I’m particularly impressed at this point in time at how responsibly they are handling COVID. They are spacing out the cars to every other spot and requiring that customers wear masks whenever they are outside of their car. They’re now set up to pre-order tickets and even driving up to the window they require you to wear masks. Happy to see they’ve continued to have success during the pandemic! It’s a great place to go and pretty inexpensive considering that they only charge by car and play two movies. There are so few drive-ins left I hope they stay up and running for years to come.

Review №26

My kids have always loved going to this drive in. Its a great value for a family when you break it down. Between the 2 screens, they seem to try to play a variety of films between family friendly and films that adults would enjoy more (obviously based on whats available from Hollywood studios any given week). The concession stand offers a good menu at reasonable prices.

Review №27

5 star for the proprietors and 4 stars for patrons. Image, sound and covid protocols were as good as one could hope. People not following them or just being disruptive with their noise, lights or smoke made it less enjoyable. Watched two cars scrape each others paint off in the urgency to leave, if that gives you a sense of the vibe.

Review №28

My husband and our friends attended the Garth Brooks concert last night and what a wonderful. Experience it was! Great weather, good food and the place was so clean and organized. No one would have know the issues presented to this establishment and their staff on top of the COVID regulations. You all did a wonderful job and it was so nice to see how clean people left it when we were leaving. Thank you!

Review №29

Love going to the drive in. Wish they would walk around more often though to check on cars/people. This past time we had to go to the people who worked there twice because the car next to us wouldnt shut up. We dont usually have any issues but this past time i gave up on watching the movie because i couldnt hear it over the people next to us.

Nice place but they have serious crowding issues. They need to not overbook. Snacks were fair though.

Review №31

I made a careless mistake while ordering my ticket online, so took a chance calling the number on the website. On such a busy weekend, I was expecting to get a voicemail box that was full. But, to my surprise, the owner answered right away and he was very understanding. Excellent customer service!

Br
Review №32

Man, I used to love this drive-in. Unfortunately, the owner no longer walks around and polices people about their lights and hatches, so it is impossible to enjoy the experience because you cant see the screen. I still love the place enough to not give it one star, but the movies are literally unwatchable now. Its sad.

Review №33

My family LOVES the Milford Drive-In! Weve been going there for the past 10 years. Now my kids are starting to bring their friends without us! Cant beat the price, the atmosphere, and the price for concessions. Every now and then, even the local wildlife may wonder through for a real outdoor experience!

Review №34

Of the four drive-in movies weve visited this summer my son and I rate this one best for concession prices, for one, and better yet, screen size: Big, like in olden days!And #1 for double-feature pairings: Us AND Get Out. Genius, as Im sure youll agree.Runner-up: Jaws and Jurassic Park last month, at Menden (in MA, btw). Gotta say Mendens rest rooms were better suited to Covid concerns, but ... >sigh< One attends to such details more closely at 70+ ...There I go again! Digression is my middle name, as you might say.So ~In that case allow me to trace my affinity for this old fashioned venue:Reason #1. When I was 17 or so, I was viewing some Creature Feature at a drive-in on the Norfolk/ Va. Beach line. I was with a couple of my buddies. A truly lovely lass happened by. Without a word she casually opened my door and climbed in beside me ~ and kissed me long and deep - once - and left.Obviously a peak drive-in moment ~ Ah, youth! O sweet innocence!Reason #2. Less, um, exciting ~ but just as strange in the opposite direction: As a boy in Orange, Cali ~ ca 1956 - 1960 ~ my family attended church at a drive-in; the altar, replete with cross extending upward atop the concession stand and featuring Rev. Schuller before he became the famous televangelist preaching from the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove.Sunday school? Why, at the picnic tables near said concession stand along the wall.The church service itself? More genius: Just park in a slot, grab the handy speaker-on-a-pole and listen in the comfort of your very own car!As to the Crystal Cathedral: Alas, we moved away before the transition to this California extravaganza - where apparently one could either go inside this huge and elaborate space - or sit in the car, in curlers if need be (Check it out on Google)We hope to visit more drive ins before the season ends.

Fun night at the drive in. Great experience. Cars spaced enough apart and most everyone wearing masks when walking around. Trying to get back again before the summer is over.

Review №36

I wish I could give them less than one star.I would not recommend this place and will not be returning.Staff is very rude and does not know anything about how to speak to customers.The business itself is horrible and extremely poorly run. I was yelled at by some older broad and what I believe was the manager. From what I’ve heard from the local police station and other customers they do this kind of thing a lot and have a habit of treating customers like they aren’t worthy of their attention.

I took my grandson and we had a lovely evening together. We stayed for most of one movie but left early and we told Mommy and Daddy we both stayed awake the whole time. The park is very clean, we didnt visit the concession stand or bathrooms. We bought our ticket online and will definitely return.

Awesome movie and snacks. Great service; all amazing people there. The movie screen was great and clear. The sound came in greatly through the car speaker with no problems. This is definitely a place to checkout.

Review №46

Had pretty good food. Thought the owner sounded kind of crazy on the website FAQ’s and on the screen before the movie started about people not wanting to wear masks. Did not like that the movie started at 9:05pm when it said the movie start time was 8:15pm. Would probably return, but seen nicer drive-ins in the New England area.

Review №47

Very happy with this experience. For the price to get in you get 2 movies with as many people that you can fit in your car. We brought our own snacks and drinks and saved more money than sitting in a movie theater! The only issue I really had was other inconsiderate people who keep using their electronic keys to flash their lights so they can find their car.

My adult children grew up going to the Milford drive in, every summer we went as a family. We all still go and enjoy it so much! I grew up going to the drive in movies (many years ago lol) and it is a wonderfully family fun time! Milford drive in has amazing people running it and we enjoy it greatly! Enjoy!

Great place to take family or your significant other. Even if theyre not playing the latest movies, its still an awesome experience. They have battery packs to Jumpstart your car should your battery die. I was surprised how few bugs where flying around too, but would bring bug spray just in case.

Review №53

Great theater! Decided to try it out after being constantly let down by Mendon in MA. Theyre both about an hour drive from me.First of all, great work keeping covid 19 measures in place and enforced. Dont think I saw anyone breaking rules, probably bc they have signs and announcements to remind everyone how to be safe and make it clear no mask, no service felt very safe and I appreciated that a lot.The projector looked fantastic as well. They started the first movie before the sun had completely set (but it was more dark than light out already) and I had no issues with the picture, it looked bright, clear and perfectly centered, they know what theyre doing.I didnt try the food on this visit but the concession area was close by and safely set up. Ill definitely give it a swing on next visit!I saw them on Facebook asking for movie suggestions which is great as well, saw a lot of people asking for some throwback horror and I hope they listen! Refreshing to see after I was blocked on facebook by the Mendon Drive In for suggesting other movies than the same 10 they always play! I was pretty excited to see Grease and Footloose playing tonight, definitely something different to mendon although could probably stand to be a tad more adventurous with their programming, but so far I cant complain too much, definition of a big leap in all ways compared to Mendon!

I LOVE this place! During this covid-time theyve been playing really great classic movies! (Covid rules: Everyone Must wear a mask for interacting with employees and when you cant distance yourself. ex: at the entrance/ticket taker, at the concession stand, in the bathroom.) I especially love the horror movie combos! This is my 4th time coming here. Employees are always super nice and helpful. Its a very laid back and relaxing time. The concession stand has a variety of (not especially healthy) food and candy to choose from. Bathrooms are always clean and well lit to find mid movie. I love drive-ins!

Review №82

This is the second time I have been here and on both occasions the owner/manager has been extremely rude. The first time was when we were trying to order our food, my son lowered his mask to tell me what he wanted and all of a sudden he’s being interrupted by this guy telling him to put his mask on. Apparently he doesn’t realize how difficult it is to communicate to someone when you have a mask on. On the second visit he is walking around telling people to lower their back hoods which I completely understand, we were in compliance, when one person from our party asks him to ask the vehicle in front of us to do the same he responds in a very sarcastic manner, “ mam, I’m going up and down the rows and when I get there I’ll handle it”. A few minutes later I see him by the concession stand, He never made it to the next row. If you’re too busy to take care of things or are under stress from it then hire other managers but don’t take it out on your customers! I’ve never come across a more unprofessional individual. I work with all kinds of people in my line of work and regardless of how much stress I don’t speak to them in a condescending manner.

I just moved here from Cali and have gone off and on to drive in theaters all my life. With the whole covid business going on, I figured Id see if there were any drive in theaters around me. Did a search and found this place. Was reading reviews and then decided to check out the info, when suddenly my jaw dropped. $30 per vehicle?!? Ive never been to a drive in that didnt charge you by the person. Thats absolutely insane. I guess Im waiting for the local AMC to open up.
