Smith’s Ranch Drive-In

This place is great! $ 5 a person for two movies! Workers there are super nice and the vibe is very mom and pop! Can’t wait to go again!

If you’ve got a good car audio system, this place is better than any movie theater you can go to. $ 5 a ticket and the comfortability of your own vehicle (heat, a/​c, reclining seats, multiple cup holders, etc.). Just wish they played better movies more often. But that’s a personal problem.

Grew up out here and as a kid growing up I always looked forward to going to the Drive-​in every Friday night. The prices to get in and at the snack bar are very reasonable. This family owned operation isn’t out to screw you with outrages prices. :)

We always have an amazing time here, my son absolutely loves the drive-​in! It’s cash only even for concessions so make sure you bring cash, popcorn is always hot and buttery pizza isn’t bad either! We can get away with spending less than $ 20 here for our family of 3, that’s 2 movies, popcorn, candy and drinks. Will miss this place when we move.

I visited the Smith’s Drive-​in with my family and we all had a fantastic evening.
The cost is $ 5 per person (over 3 years old), for 2 movies. I was there in January and the theater opened at 6:30pm, and the movie started at 7pm.
This is an old school 50’s drive-​in, that could be the background for any 80’s horror/​thriller movie, which made it very awesome.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
The sound is transmitted through your FM radio.
There is a small snack bar, with basic items; popcorn, hot dogs, nachos, pretzels, candy, soda, etc. The prices were very reasonable, and the popcorn was delicious.
This was a very fun experience for the family, especially since they have only been to a Drive-​in one other time.
If visiting Twentynine Palms or Joshua Tree, put this on our list of things to do.

This outdoor movie theatre is as good as it gets. Great prices, great set up, fast service, and great movie selection. Can’t get better for Drive-​In Movie Theater’s.
Popcorn, soda, and candy all cost around $ 1 to $ 3. Entrance fee is $ 5 a person.

Love, love, love this place! It’s a great family experience. We just went to the Minion movie and my two-​year-​old thought this was the coolest thing ever. They only accept cash.

Amazing old time drive-​in movie theater that evokes childhood memories of decades past.
Located just off 29 Palms Highway near the military base. Old time prices. Really close to Joshua Tree National Park!
Usually show 2 films a night.
Don’t forget to bring comfortable chairs so you can sit outside and now and then peek up at the beautiful desert night sky!

Awesome place! Pretty much a must for any 29 Palms or even Yucca Valley resident. Cheap prices for a great date night or night out with the family. The concessions are reasonably priced and you get so much for your money! I love this place.
