Reviews of Sunset Drive-In (Movie Theater)

Mara S.

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

janice l presutti

Great place for family to enjoy being outside.

Valerie Beale

Always loved this place and always will!!

Anthony SomeguyVT

Wonderfully family friendly environment. Great concession. Even better service. Couldn't ask for a better theater experience.

Stephanie N

Memoriesssssss! So glad this gem is still there after all these years. Took my fiancee there and we had an amazing time watching a terrible movie under the stars on the back of our truck bed. I think it sounds like we had sex. We didn't.

Jay Berger

The best movie experience in the area! Reasonable snack prices, good facilities, and you can't beat the comfort of the seats.

Claudia D

I purchased tickets online for a show in June and when we arrived it was closed with no prior notification. I've tried contacting Sunset Drive-In several times via email and phone with no response. We were visiting from out of town so not only was the evening ruined, but I also have not received a refund.

Val Patten

We love this place bc its a very family animal friendly place. Space to play with yr child and or dog. And it's cheep for all.

Alexis Scangas

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

Reggie Allen

Great Place! one of the last drive ins left.

Chad Ray

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.

Vallery Bromley

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 , couldn't always hear the movie.

Nikoa Kmetz-Derr

The Sunset is my favorite summer place! Movies, a great snack bar, playground and mini golf! A great family environment!!

Josh Schaffer

Awesome

Victor Laramee

My go to place when I come to town on business. Friendly folks, superbly clean rooms and tastefully decorated in a tranquil setting! Couldn't be happier!!

Nicole doodo

Great place to watch movies with the family. The new digital projector has totally improved the experience

Meghan Davey

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!

LaRoast

I went all the time as I live right down the road. Unfortunately, this year it's a rip off if you go alone as they charge $20 per car now. I won't be back.

Rinette Ellis

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. I've been coming since I was a kid and I brought my own children.

Lissa S

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 it's kind left!

D K

Always good and always that classic drive in feel

Suzanne Blanchard

Last year we went to a retro night and saw ET. The kids were enthralled and it was just a delicious family & friends night. We can't wait til they open every year and keep going way down in the fall til they close! <3

John Sucharski

The best

Mia Benson

I always love coming here, but today their customer service went above and beyond! I had bought a small popcorn and on my way back to my car I managed to trip and spill it. I cleaned up and returned with two dollars ready to pay for my second popcorn. Since I was just in there I explained what happened and the man working told me to take it for free and said these things happen! I love this place, and since they are the only drive in around they could easily cut corners, but they never do.

Cole Phelps

Always a good time at the drive-in, but they start their movies way to early. Wait until dark so we can actually see what we're paying for!

Alexis Dexter

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 …

Tommy Smith

Love this place! Can’t beat watching a move at the drive-in. This place is one of my favorites.

Michael Hayden

Great place for a few great memories with the family.

Molly Packard

Who doesn't love the drive-ins???? I love this place. I've 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

Jess Dolbear

I'm from California where we got the drive-in frequently and, while visiting cousins in Vermont, we took them to their first drive-in movie. Sunset Drive-In was very nicely maintained, we showed up about 10mins late and were still able to …

Doom Boom

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.

Patrick Kelly

This is one of the best movie going experiences I've had. I love going to the drive ins with my wife. Highly recommended. Good prices, good food, and the latest movies.

Liv

Love going to this place. I have been since I was little and I'm so disappointed that there are only a few drive-ins left :( I don't get to go to often (usually once a year) because its quite a drive but the outdoor movie theater experience is worth it!

shyla boos

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 …

MARCY Soutiere

It's always a fun time here! Best burgers and fries in town!!

Jeremy Pratt

Always fun to watch a movie on a big screen from the comfort of your own vehicle

Nelson Soto

From Jersey so enjoyed the experience of watching a movie from the car.

Rebecca Tourville

Price is great for two movies

Eric Desautels

Haven't been in years, had a fantastic time!

cory loudon

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

Shawn Sexton

This is one of the BEST Drive In Theaters for Northern NY and Vermont. Attendants make sure that everyone has a good view of the screen and the show times allow for changing to any of the four screens to pick your own double- or triple- feature.

Michele Ploof

Still the best drive-in in the state

Dax Marshel

Wonderful way to spend a Summer evening, under the stars, munching popcorn with family and friends while enjoying a double feature! Reasonable prices, sound via your car radio and friendly staff made for a fun experience! We'll be back!

TDU Clan

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!

Erin Quinn

Great time

Taylor Reno

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 …

Lori Fetters

Great movies for a cheap outdoor time.

John Boone

A true institution. Super fun, family-friendly atmosphere. If high-fidelity reproduction is what you want, sure, stay home and wait for the Blu-Ray to come out. But you won't have as much fun watching it.

Dawn Ford

Best drive-in I've ever been to. Four screens and you can move from one to another for the 2nd movie. Clean bathrooms and yummy snacks.

Stephan Kanga

don't forget bug spray!

amanda farrell

Great value! 4 screens and a small playground for children. They always show a double feature. I love coming here!

Nate Archibald

I have been to about 8 drive-ins over the last 20 years across multiple states . This drive-in is my favorite for many reasons . The facilities are really nice and 4 screens is almost unheard of anymore as drive-ins have continued to …

Michael Kerr

I love this place! 4 screens 2 movies on each screen.

Taylor Kowgios

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

Jesse Gaboriau

$9/ea for a double feature. Doesn't that just say it all? Their snack bar is decent having some grill items and standard movie fare, but they won't stop you bringing your own food and drink. Bring bug spray and wear long pants and sleeves, their mosquitos are fierce.

Andrew Bauer

Drive-ins are wonderful: a whole movie experience for half the price & in the intimacy of your own car! I've seen families back up their ban & pop the back hatch, I've seen fogged up windows of what I assume is a first date, and I've seen …

Karen Hardy

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!

Desiree Roberts

I love the drive in. The price is great, and you get two movies.

Jay Scott

Love this place. Great food & great screens & sound.

Nicholas Ceffalo

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

Justin King

If your hear a very obnoxious, Loud, racist, pathetic, older man with glasses in his work truck with his Girlfriend Please complain. He's there every other weekend and uses way to much profanity. Its sickening. Mike, This is for you.

Thomas Edgerton

Great screens, quality movies and the kinda driving food you want for movies

Cindy Shambo

Clean bathrooms nice staff..really enjoyed the movie's..great place for family fun..

Angie m. Buchanan

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

lester suarez

Wish that bathrooms were cleaner and better!

Isobel Supertramp

Great place! Never been to a drive-in, was a lot of fun.

Christopher Handy

All Digital perfect picture on the big screens, clear sound, in the comfort of your vehicle. Great for families

Matt Lorence

The drive in. A classic summer experience. Watched a double feature this weekend, ate a corn dog, knocked back a couple ciders, held hands with a cute girl. What a night!

Cassandra Dunbar

4 screens and you can change screens after the 1st show. $10 for adults works out to only $5 per movie if you stay to see both. Friendly staff, clean grounds.

Natalie Dutra

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

Dan Collins

Last one around, fun to take the kids out for a nostalgia trip once a summer. Haven't eaten the snack bar stuff, but they keep that and the toilets clean.

Evan Adorisio

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.

Elad Rosen

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.

Jason Batchelder

Great place to go on dates!!

Melissa Fletcher

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

Italia LaRocco

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.

Jade Shea

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 …

Shannon Cygnus

This is the best movie experience you can get around here!

Ashley Bautista

Cool experience

Misty Peck

Super fun You get to watch 2 movies Much less expensive than going to a theater

Ramsey Hazbun

It's a drive-in. You give up a little on movie viewing quality for a fun and unique experience. Well worth it, especially with double features.

Keith Painter

Had a decent experience, but I was double charged a week after I actually went to the drive-in. The only phone number available doesn't have voice mail, so finding somebody to talk to that could help explain the unauthorized charge was impossible. After speaking with my bank, they confirmed I was double charged. Meanwhile the drive-in blamed me (through facebook) and refused to accept that they have a problem with their system.

Jacob Vance

This is the best Drive Ins I have ever been too and has a nice little play ground o play on before your movie starts. I have been here many times and every time I enjoy it. They have a nice concession stand to buy hot dogs, hamburgers, soda, and chips. I recommend this lace for the ultimate move watching experience.

Tracy Staub

I go a couple of times every summer. Even if the movie sucks, it's still fun. For the most part other patrons are considerate.

Kate Heffernan

Love coming here for date night. We look forward to it every year.

Lunamay Raylin

It was great, though the masquitos were bad but that's always a thing

M4 speers

AWESOME!

Adam Huff

The sun sets on a warm summer night, then you enjoy a picnic dinner and a crappy movie under the stars against a backgound of fireflies and crickets. One...great...evening.

Tianna Kerg

Great drive in. Watched The Incredibles 2. It's 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 …

Rob Wellstead

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

Rick Stehmeyer

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 …

Sonja H

Going to Sunset Drive-In is one of my favorite activities in the summer!

Richard Laws

One of the few great ones left!

Bob Bever

It's always a good time at the Sunset Drive In. It's a bit of a trek for us but it's a good place to catch a double bill of some of the latest movies.

Missy Eusebio

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.

Ryan W.

Lots of fun for everyone. Snacks and bathrooms available. But if your going to sit outside your car bring bug spray and a blanket.

penny moody

this place is awesome. i hope they will always be in business

Rayza Bienvenido

A tiny bit confusing ( driving around)but a must. Really enjoyed my summer movie nights.

Cindy Phenix

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

kangjie su

Love their digital HD and audio system. Comfort of my car while watching the movies!

Jo Amelia Finlay Bever

Always such a great time. Love the vintage concession adverts played before and between films!

Kathryn Gosselin

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

Jessica Martin

Best double cheeseburgers ever!!

Karen S

There was mis-representation in their internet as for 1 free person in a car. The free item was a bumper sticker!! OMG!!!

Timothy Robare

Always love it here. Good atmosphere, good prices.

Lex

I love this place! I get wicked excited for it to open every year. :) <3

Paul Rangel

Great fun

Exaucene Tuambilangane

It been a year since I went there, and I went there with my lady she like it, I like the way the setup the screen and sound in the ca.

Rachel Young

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.

Stacey Cox

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 …

Fenix Artz

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.

Burns Dartt

Love my movies under the stars.

Jamie Wool

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!!!

Julie Bowers

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.

Jordan Fiorini

Cheap movies!÷

Franco Chiaramonte

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

Nicole Sampson

Nothing beats it. Definitely go!!!

Sarah Evans

I lived in Burlington last year and didn't know about this gem until we found it yesterday! I paid less to go see four movies at the drive in (there was a Labor Day special of five movies for the price of two!!) than one at the movie theater this weekend. With four screens, the selection of movies is huge! I had a great time and would highly recommend it. I also love that you can bring your own snacks.

Patricia B

Two movies for the price of one ... Love going

Alan Fregtman

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 there's a charming vintage intermission cartoon that's been the same for decades.

Jake Ledoux

It's a great place to see movies, especially if you've never been to a drive-in before. We go multiple times a summer because my father has been going his whole life, and we like to support one of the last drive-in theaters in the state. …

Jim Marrier

Clean and lot's of fun

Matthew Mckinney

Great price cheap food and great time.

linh nguyen

Staff is pretty nice overall. Food is really bad. Last burger my wife got was soggy from the grease. The grill is normally operated by a teenager who never worked before so the food is always overcooked. Get McDs from around the corner before you come in. Don't bother going early if you have an suv since first 3 rows are reserved for cars. It used to be no suv in first row if you have your hatch open which is understandable but now it's none at all. I personally only go here since I have young kids and it's the only option to see a movie which I feel is why alot of people come. Guess what, most people with kids also have SUVs!!! Been going here for 15 years. Probably the last time I come here due to the new policy.

Nickie McCann

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.

Nikolina Dobreva

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 …

Chester Gilbert

Discovered Sunset DI in 2015. I've 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!

Robar Inc.

Nice little place friendly staff!

Jesse Godin

Awesome service and great movies! Had a blast watching Jurassic World 2 with my family! Next movie coming up...

Katherine R.

Awesome drive in. Nice hills for the cars to rest on so everyone spot is a good one

Ron Laforce

My son and I pretty much live here!!!

Jeremy Burnor

I absolutely love going to the drive in they have four different screens and your welcome to switch movies if you desire and have a playground for the kids to play on

Tony Olson

This is what summer is all about. Great value.

Shawn Martin

Movie stopped multiple times with 10 minute breaks for no reason, wouldn't have regretted leaving after the first 20 minutes. Food is overpriced, obviously.

Z H.

Our experience at the Sunset Drive-In was unfortunately disappointing. We stayed for one film and it cut out several times. Management lets people run their cars the whole night, which detracted from the experience, not to mention is …

tracy alt

Such a wonderful, fun experience! Swings & things for the kids to do before the movie starts. Everyone there was incredibly kind. We had a great evening!

Chantal Mendes

One of my best memories from when I was growing up in Vermont was going to the Drive Ins! Love that Sunset is still going strong and very excited to go many times this summer now that I'm moving back to the area!
