Been a llong time since I had been to a drive in. Took my daughter for her first experience. Quite different from when I was a kid. FM station is used which was cool.listening to the movie through my stereo system. It was like being in the theater. It was hard to find the exit after because it was too dark and no signs. Bathrooms are not clean. Could use some updating but we enjoyed the movie.

Went for Major Lazer: super fast entry, parked fast and no worries. Cars were socially distanced. Only concern is late arrivals were parked in back for overflow

Can get any better then bringing your own snacks making your truck bed a bed with all your family watching in a big screen for only 10 bucks adults and 1 dollars kids

Great experience. Clear radio reception. A little pricey entrance and concession charges but it gets you out the house!

Great place to bring the whole family. Prices are great for two movies. Bring back this experience everywhere. Social distancing at its finest.

I went Ringos theatre years ago and it was better. This time it smelled like trash and was not as clean and people around where rude by running their cars an having their headlights on. I wont go back their anytime soon.

Probably just a covid thing but I was upset they didnt sell burgers at the snack bar. But all In all it was clean, great staff and seen alot of mask wearing which is also a Covid thing... Huh. Anyway we love being able to get out and enjoy a great movie. Great place to come.

Easy to find. Decent pricing. Audio is clear througha cars radio & audio system. Didnt eat anything from the concessions stand so I cant comment on the food. Bathrooms were pretty gross and unkempt. Probably just need to be checked and cleaned more often.

Its nice and sound was great, but the food was a bit high. Spent 80.00 for 3 people to see a movie and have a bite to eat.

Great experience for a drive in theater but youre better off bringing your own food. Selection and prices here are not the best.

Always fun, a great night out during a pandemic. The bathrooms are all modified to be socially distant and make are required to enter restroom and snack bar areas. Just wish the movies would change more frequently but thats not the theaters fault.

Only 2 sinks work in the womens restroom and the pretzel I bought for $4.50 was extremely hard and small. Highly doubt it was fresh. Not worth $4.50

It was fun, we didnt use any amenities, so I cant review that aspect. But the screens were nice, selection was good, and price was right. Kids for $1! Super nice for a little family outing late at night.

They only take cash but the website didnt mention that luckily I had cash. We could not sit outside so sitting in the backseat was hard to see the screen. Other than that it was just nice to get out and took a few kids who had never gone to a drive in before so they enjoyed the experience.

Review №31

Really nice sit more towards the right you can hear a lot better! It has bathrooms available and a snack bar. Super nice staff. A good thing would be make your car nice and comfy so you can sit comfortably throughout the movie.

Rubidoux drive in was great. The food area seem like it looked nice... I only took a quick look while takeing my daughter to the restroom... the rest rooms need to be upgraded. It looks pretty bad.

We spent $40 on tickets, $50 on food and we couldnt even HEAR the movie. We ended up watching a movie in the car on our phone. Horrible.

Review №41

Pretty awesome place, recently attended their Weekend Swap Meet event, plenty of food vendors and several little shops. Loved it for the most part. Would recommend visiting if youre looking to purchase collectibles or other small items. Most of the items here are used, so find a few vendors with affordable prices. Everyone here likes to over price their items, for example; $3 for a churro. Large parking lot, even bigger lot inside. Surrounded by homes and a few restaurants. Would recommend arriving early if you want to find a parking spot closer to the entrance. Great place for families, would definitely recommend stopping by. Be aware there is a charge or cover fee at the gate to enter their swap meet event.

Review №49

We have been coming to the Rubidoux drive in for years, always fun with the family. And the movies are good. But since ownership or management changed the snack bar has gone down hill, no variety and the bathrooms are always nasty. If you plan on going, bring your own snacks and use the bathroom before coming especially with kids.

Review №53

Its a run down old place but I love the memories it invokes of my childhood and imagining what this place was like in its heyday. Will be coming back. The ticket prices are affordable, $9 per adult for 2 movies, $1 for children 1-9 years old. You really cant beat those prices. A lot people make a whole picnic experience bringing lawn chairs, blankets, boom box, ice chests, and food. Its a great way to spend a memorable time with the family. Give your kids this experience before its gone.

Review №64

I love how they bc will host movies, just like back in the day. Take your date here and watch a movie from the comfort of your own vehicle.The best part of this place is their swap meet on the weekend. Lots of good stuff, mainly yard sale and garage sale type of vendors. Youll never know what youll find here.. Check it out!

This place brings back memories of when I was young and my parents would bring us to the drive-in theater. So many have closed and this one sticks around and is fun to go too. The price is good for two movies. The food is decent. The facility hasnt change much in years. The atmosphere is friendly. I enjoy taking the family here.

Very nice place but the floor needs to be fixed and there are some sellers that they are very rude so you should be careful to whoever you talk to but you can get very good stuff here I really recommend this place if you want to find trinkets and stuff you want to use for like decoration and other purposes there are many things here and I really recommended tacos because theyre really yummy.

Review №74

The guy selling the tickets was obviously under the influence of drugs. For example I told him the movie i wanted to watch, and he repeats it back to me. Yet, he still managed to give me the wrong ticket. On the bright side he only charged me the price of 1 person, when we were multiple. So thanks for not being all there.

Had a ok timeThe quality of viewing the movie alittle dark . Between people turning car lights on, didnt help.

Review №79

One of the few Drive-Ins left in Southern California. This one has 3 screens with restrooms and snack bar located at the center, making it easily accessible to all 3 screens. Restrooms could be a lil cleaner but I guess thats to be expected with the amount of traffic. Overall had a great time with my wife and kids. If youre looking for something inexpensive to do with the family on the weekend in the Riverside or surrounding area this is a great choice.

Lots of blankets and pillows on the back of our truck with a radio. Bring your own snacks my new favorite way to catch a movie

Review №81

Perfect place for a Date or hang out with friends. Be sure to bring a radio to tune into the movies radio station so you can listen to the audio while in your car. I brought a minivan to watch the movies out from the back but I saw people bring lawn chairs so you can do that too. It’s very chill and they have a good selection of movies!

Review №89

At first I was kind of scared to go to a Drive in theater because I didn’t know how it worked and I thought I was going to park in a random spot and block everyone’s view. The reality is it’s very organize it’s nice, and a little food place they have looks a bit sketchy but I mean food is kind of good and the only thing I wouldn’t recommend watching at this driving is scary movies with dark themes because the projectors they have kind of suck when it comes to projecting movies with a lot of dark scenes in them because you can barely see. But if it’s a movie with a lot of color you will be good. But seriously though I want to see IT and also Scary stories to tell in the dark and me and my girlfriend could almost not see a thing.

Review №95

Been going to this swap meet for many years. More and more vendors along with shoppers feel this place is going downhill. They have this new manager named Mike that is a real piece. I only wish the owner would poll the people that must work with this guy, I think he would fire him in a heartbeat. (Or should) Very poor management and very poor people skills. I would like to add more words to express about this guy but this probably would not get published then. They also blocked off handicap access to the swap meet making it difficult to get to and from your car. Get rid of this Mike guy and bring back our nice and friendly Swapmeet.
