How to Enjoy Redwood Drive In Theatre

OFF SEASON: The drive-in is currently closed for the Winter and will reopen in the Spring (date TBD). Thank you to our loyal fans for a super fun movie season! The Swap Meet is open on Saturdays and Sundays year-round so be sure to visit us. Find more details on the Swap Meet page of our website.

During movie season, new showtimes are posted weekly on Wednesdays and only five days are displayed at a time. We do not know the schedules in advance. If you don't see the showtimes for the day you are looking for please check back. The $10 adult ticket and $1 kids ticket allows admission for two movies playing on the same screen (when not single-billed). This means you'll get to see two movies for half the price! However, sometimes the movies are single-billed due to studio contracts. In this case, admission is for one movie only.

The box office opens 1.5 hours before showtime on Friday and Saturday nights. If you are planning to see only the 2nd or 3rd shows, you'll want to arrive about thirty minutes prior to showtime. The audio for the movies is broadcast through an FM transmitter (radio), so make sure you have a good sound system in your vehicle. Not to worry, if you don't have an FM transmitter in your car you can bring a battery-operated stereo with speakers to hear the movies.

We have a snack bar full of treats and goodies from popcorn, candy, and carne asada nachos! You are also welcome to bring your own snacks too!

Why are the Friday showtimes not posted?: Our website shows 5 days at a time. If you don’t see the day you’re looking for check back. New schedules are posted weekly on Wednesdays for that Friday through the following Thursday (during movie season).

Do you still show movies in the rain?: Yes. Sometimes the theaters can flood and in that case, we won't show any movies.
Should I bring my own battery-operated radio or just use the one in the car?: If you are concerned that your car battery will run down, please bring a battery-powered, portable FM radio.
Can I use a radio app on my phone to listen?: A small portable FM radio works best. We don't know of an Apple or Android app that works. They pick up internet radio not local. Also, we do not have wifi.

Can we watch the movie from the bed of our truck?: Yes, as long as you stay inside the vehicle and maintain social distancing. Keep in mind larger trucks must park towards the back of the theatre, so you do not block other's view.
Do you have any movies in Spanish?: Now, you can listen to most movies in Spanish with the Theater Ears App. Download for free in the App Store or Google Play.
When it says 'with' between the movies, are we watching both movies?: Yes, ticket purchase is per screen where you may watch both movies showing (except when single billed).
