I noticed there weren't any detailed reviews for the drive-in, and being that Iuka is Pickwicks sister-city, I thought I'd give all the "outsiders" a bit more info on our only local, old-fashioned drive-in movie theatre!
Going to the drive-in is always a fun experience, and it's just like taking a step back in time for some generations. It's not a fancy place, the parking lot is gravel and the ticket booth and snack stand are just small block buildings, but the parking lot is always clean, the food is good, and you're sure to get a good spot no matter where you're parked!
The price is also considerably less than traditional theatres; You entire family can get in for only $5/Car on certain nights and this usually includes not one, but two, brand new movies for one low price!
Set your radio station, find a good spot and stay in your car under the air-conditioning, or bring lawn chairs and a blanket and tailgate it! Parents, not only can you actually afford to bring the kids here, but you'll also never have to miss another movie again because of small or unruly kids who just can't sit still in traditional theatre seats! Lol! Just bring them some toys to play with, maybe even a playpin plus a few blankets and pillows, and you're all set! The first film doesn't start until dark, so they'll probably fall right to sleep! The food is also great, and the over-all cost for it is less than other theatres, (meaning you can actually afford to feed the kids here too!)
Oh and if you're worried about parking next to loud families, don't be, there's plenty of space for you too! Not once have I ever been bothered by noisy kids... Just park on the other side of the lot, up front, or way in the back! It's a big lot! :-)
Iuka also happens to be a great little town with a very low crime rate. So you won't be afraid to tailgate here at night or let the kids run to the bathroom or the snack stand. There's also a Sonic just down the road and lots of nice restaurants in the area should you decide to make a night of it and get something before or after the show. Iuka also has a Walmart, McDonalds, Jacks, Piggly Wiggly, etc. all just a few miles away.
It's also worth mentioning that this nostalgic business has been a privately-owned landmark in this small town for decades, so your visit helps keep its doors open for new generations to experience and enjoy!
