We What kind of movies will you show?
We will normally be showing first run blockbuster movies. Every night we will be showing a double feature, so you can watch two movies for just one admission! We do not get our film confirmation until Mondays so we announce the schedule about 4-5days in advance.
How Do I hear the movies?
At Sauerbeck Family Drive-in we provide high quality stereo sound. You can conveniently access our audio through your radio on Channel 90.3 FM. We do have radios for rent in the concession stand: $6 rental with a $75 deposit
Can I bring my pet to the drive-in?
Our pets are part of our family, and well behaved pets are welcome. Owners are solely responsible for their pets and must clean up after them. Disruptive pets and their owners will be asked to leave. Animals are not allowed in the concession stand. Service dogs are permitted.
Can we purchase tickets online?
Yes, you can purchase tickets on our website. However, tickets are for a specific date and cannot be used for other dates. Tickets are non-refundable. We will show movies in the rain, so please plan accordingly if that will affect your visit.
What is the speed limit while I am in the drive-in?
Safety is a top priority. Our speed limit is 5 mph. This is VERY SLOW. We expect all drivers to be courteous and to use extreme caution while driving anywhere on the drive-in lot as there will be many people walking around in the dark, including small children. Please refrain from moving you vehicle during a show and check your surroundings before moving.
What happens if I get caught sneaking someone in my truck?
While it may sound like fun, any driver caught concealing others in their vehicle will be turned away or asked to leave. All vehicles are subject to search.
Do you have to watch both movies of a double feature?
No, you can watch either or both movies. The admission price includes both movies, so it is the same price even if you only watch one.
Will my car battery die while watching the movies?
Most vehicles should have no problem if you use the Accessory position. If you are concerned, you may want to bring a portable FM radio or just start your car a few times during the movie. If you do need a jump, please notify a member of our staff in the concession stand.
Where and how do I park my vehicle?
The parking lot will be designated with cones to show the driving rows. Customers may park facing toward or away from the screen. There is space to set up chairs in front of your car, but not to either side. Cars should park close together.
Please park tall vehicles such as trucks and SUVs in the back of the lot so you do not block the screen for others. There will be staff to help you park in rows.
Are all movies double features?
Yes, all movies will be double features.
(Limited exceptions for special events or during school season.)
Do you accept credit or debit cards?
Yes, we encourage using a credit or debit card for both tickets and concessions.
Now that I have paid, do I get to stay for both movies?
Yes, the drive-in is still one of the best deals around for movie entertainment. You get to see two movies for the price of one.
It’s raining! Do I get a rain check?
No. Our policy is that as long as we can still play the movie we will not give out rain-checks or refunds. Patrons can still sit in their cars and watch the movie. Should the weather cause an event that we can no longer play the first movie (i.e. power-failure) rain checks or refunds will be distributed. No rain checks will be given after the second movie has started.
Why is your staff telling me to move my car?
We want everyone to have a great experience. If you have parked incorrectly (i.e. – taking two spaces, tall vehicle blocking the view of shorter vehicles) you may be asked to correct your position. This is a new experience for many customers, so we are here to help. Please comply with the instructions of our staff.
Do I need a car? Can I walk in?
We do not provide seating for walk-in visitors and only the parking lot is accessible at this time. All visitors should be in a vehicle.
Am I required to sit in my car?
No. Patrons are welcomed to bring chairs and blankets and sit in front of their vehicles. We do ask that you only occupy the area in front of your vehicle as there will be vehicles parked on either side of your vehicle.
How do the Ticket Vouchers work?
If you purchased a Ticket Voucher or were lucky enough to receive one as a gift, you will need to bring your voucher to the theatre to redeem it.
The Date Night package includes 2 tickets and the Family Package includes 2 Adult and 2 Child tickets.
If you need an odd number of tickets you can always purchase additional tickets at the gate.
These packages can be used on any night, for any movie when we are open to the public.
You will be mailed a voucher after purchase that you redeem at the box office/concession stand.
Will the movies be visible to the public from the road?
Unfortunately for those looking to catch a free show, we took great care in the design and layout of our facility to ensure that our customers each have the best view, while at the same time positioning the screens as to minimize any view to the public.
