Swingin' Midway Drive In - Athens, Tennessee

We always have so much fun taking the kids 😁 and the playground is so old school amazing 😍 so glad we live close enough to enjoy the drive-in and let our kids experience what we used to when we were young 🎥

Love this place! Something great to do during the pandemic!

Things to note:
1. when they say the movie starts at dusk, they mean it so it's best not to show up when they open unless you plan on bringing a frisbee or some other entertainment while you wait.
2. Bring a radio so you don't have to deal with your car lights if you want to leave the car running... or deal with the radio turning off every 15 minutes because it's not running.

We had a great time seeing a double feature here. Everyone kept their headlights off, and the snack bar had a lot of options. I got ribbon fries. Nice playground for kids, too, before the movie starts.

We went and watched twisters. I have been going to the drive in since I was little. However, there needs to be more bathrooms. At least for the women. Especially considering some mothers bring like 4 kids with them and each of those kids uses a stall. There’s only 3 stalls in the whole place. Not to mention the toilets are super high up, which makes it difficult for little people to use the bathroom. Not to mention there’s one sink and it is insanely high. Please UPDATE your bathrooms and add more stalls and sinks. There was a line, through out the movie. 3 is just not enough!

We love the staff though. They are usually kind and some have been there for many years.

Absolutely love the drive-in! Wish they would update to a LED screen or find a way to make it brighter. But either way, I'm still going.

Highly recommended for an unforgettable night out!!

I had never been to a drive-in movie before, and it surpassed all my expectations! From start to finish, the evening felt like a scene from a movie itself.

Upon arrival, the staff's warm smiles made us feel right at home. Their impeccable organization made the entire process effortless and enjoyable.

Now, let's talk about the refreshments! The refreshments area was set up in a self-serve style, making it really easy to grab what you wanted and then check out. The concession stand offered an array of delectable treats at incredibly affordable prices. From the mouthwatering popcorn that filled the air with its aroma to the delightful surprises like pizza, corn dogs, hot dogs, funnel cakes, fried Oreos, and more, they truly knew how to make the movie night special.

Watching "Barbie" from the comfort of our vehicle was simply awesome. We cozied up with blankets and adjusted the temperature to our liking, immersing ourselves in Barbie's colorful world on the large screen.

A highlight for families was the on-site playground, which added an extra touch of fun for the little ones. It was perfect for some pre-movie playtime or during intermission, creating cherished memories for all.

In conclusion, I left the theater with a heart filled with joy and unforgettable memories. Five stars without a doubt - I'm already looking forward to my next magical movie adventure!

Awesome family friendly drive-in movie with great food at very reasonable prices for family time together. I highly recommend it, but start your car to recharge your battery, or they can help jump your car like ours.
