Bengies Drive-In Theatre

In any given night 60% of the crowd are regulars and understand our policies. 40% are new to the experience. It is very difficult for these folks to arrive and expect us to teach them everything they need to know about attending a drive-in. Most of which is common sense.

To enable us to bring the crowd in quickly and efficiently here is what new patron needs to know prior to arriving to the Bengies Drive-in Theatre:

1) HEADLIGHTS, DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS & "AUTOMATIC" vehicle lights are trouble for us and our regular patrons. Bring brown paper and tape to cover these lights OR check your owners manual to see if you can gain complete control of them. Short of having the ability to keep the lights out, plan on covering them.

2) No photographing, image capturing, or audio recording anywhere on the premises, this includes the entrance road.

3) Cash only at the Box Office. Have your currency ready, do not arrive at the box office and hold up the line by fishing your wallet out of your pocket or purse. If you are on your cell phone while trying to purchase a ticket you will be shown the exit. YES, YOUR ADMISSION INCLUDES ALL MOVIES SHOWING THE NIGHT YOU ARRIVE, unless otherwise indicated.

5) Vehicles with one person can be refused entry on busy nights. If you are joining a party of friends consider parking outside of the theatre and simply walking to the box office to purchase your ticket (see the bottom of this page).

6) During busy times there are people directing traffic on the roadway. Give them the utmost attention and courtesy. DO NOT ask this person questions as they are trying to watch and guide traffic in four directions. Distracting them is dangerous for all concerned.

7) Once inside, PLEASE read the "House Rules and Policies" that are in the flyer handed out to each car at the Box Office BEFORE you leave your vehicle. (Or you may read them here on line by clicking on the Tab for House Rules, or click here: http://www.bengies.com/HouseRules.php

These "House Rules and Policies" are important to the smooth operation and are things our patrons need to know because all of them are STRICTLY enforced. Most people realize that these are also a guide on "how to attend the Bengies Drive-In Theatre."

Reminder, if your actions impede our effort to quickly serve our good patrons, we will exercise our right to refuse admission.

NOTICE: From MEMORIAL THROUGH LABOR DAY WEEKEND, We will not allow one person in a vehicle to occupy space on busy nights. TO BE CLEAR: The policy will apply to all Friday & Saturdays until September, with an exception to Friday IF you arrive on the roadway within 15 minutes of the PUBLISHED box office opening time. It will NOT apply to Sundays except for holiday Sundays, like labor day weekend Sunday. If you are joining others here at the Bengies, please "hook up" outside the theatre and use one vehicle. We cannot turn away families because we ran out of space due to folks thinking that the Bengies is a parking lot! You MAY park at our good neighbor's lot that is the yellow or orange-ish brick building next to the drive-in theater's entrance, (Austen's) if you park correctly, and then you may walk down the roadway to purchase a ticket and join your party. IF YOU ARE A REGULAR CUSTOMER that normally comes alone, PLEASE email us through the website at least 2 days prior to your visit and tell us who you are, the year, make, color and model of your vehicle and we may be able to email you an exception.
