Overlook Drive-In Theatre

So nostalgic and wonderful! You can bring in your own food, drinks, etc! Such a great experience. We wish they would have security sometime as people start to argue over cars having their headlights on, blinding other people.

Love this place. I grew up right down the road from here so every time the summer comes around I can’t wait to see all the summer block busters outside. The price is great and your getting 2 movies for the cost one one at the theater. Good food and popcorn if you want it or just bring your own. I recommend bringing a radio so you don’t have to drain the car battery. It’s also good if you choose to site outside on lawn chairs. Get there early so you can get a good spot and play some catch. It’s a little taste of the old days that everyone young or old should try at least once.

I love coming here and its totally worth the drive from NYC. Its very sad that there are so few Drive-​Ins around. This place its awesome to come with a date, family or by yourself. You pay $ 9 (cash only) for two movies and you can either watch the movie from your car or bring a blanket/​lawn chair and watch it under the stars.
Since this is upstate it gets a little chilly at night so make sure to bring a sweater even if its summer.
I always come prepared with some snacks and wine to enjoy the show.
One thing I love about being here its the amount of stars you can see since in NYC seeing stars its almost impossible.
They do sell food here like burgers, hot dogs and popcorn.

If it wasn’t 2 hours away from where I live, this would be the only way I’d watch movies.
I absolutely loved it! The food options were great, the staff was awesome.

Last summer my boyfriend and I started driving up to Poughkeepsie just to go to this place. I had never been to a drive in theater… its as fun as I thought it would be.
Pros:
–Its cheap
–You can sit in the car bring your own food… eat and comment on the movie without bugging anyone (as long as you have the windows rolled up
–You can bring your own law chairs or blanket and site outside to watch the movie (just don’t get run over)
–you can bring your pet
— the snack stand had funnel cake :)
Cons:
–Smoking is allowed on the premises, if you’re sitting outside you may get stuck next to a chain smoker
Great summer activity!

Great PLACE, it’s worth the DRIVE, I check this one of on my Bucket List!
I drove out here from the city (Queens, NY) but let me just say it’s so worth the drive! I came out here with my girlfriend and surprised her but this place is definitely worth the experience more than once! It’s out doors obviously and to be honest, I got here when it was raining the experience was still amazing, you have your car on AC mode where only the radio works, the place gives you a station and since I got here EARLY I sat through 2 movies and my car still turned on towards the end! Keep in mind they will give you a jump start if your does not start.
Food, they have everything for a fair price! The staff is extremely friendly!
The intro’s before the movies are amazing lol, they have their own commercials they use to use in the 1950’s which was really cool, I was there taking pictures and got thought to myself so this was the feeling to go to the movies but in a Drive-​in Theater :) I did feel like I was in a time machine (no I wasn’t drinking)
Keep in mind it’s a bit tricky to get to the location, I suggest you call them beforehand if this is your first time going here.
Everything else is perfect, keep up the good work everyone!
Miss this place!
Be careful driving back it’s pretty dark, watch out for the Deer’s (Seriously)

This is a «must do» Summer activity. Come early to get a good spot and bring your own food!

As one of the few remaining drive-​ins, it automatically recorded three stars –the fourth is for its inexpensive nature. Hidden on the backroads, bring a few friends –quite possibly a lady friend you’ve wanted to get close with for sometime, pick the appropriate movie, bring a blanket in case it gets cold and snuggle up my friends. Movies the way they are supposed to be –you and your beloved in a two hour embrace while your favorite movie plays –I might have been bred for earlier times. Their movies aren’t always the newest but they certainly make an effort. At times, they also have deals (two for Tuesday but don’t quote me on that)

I live in Rockland County NY and have been going to The Overlook Drive in for MANY years! It is tucked away off a main road so use a GPS unit when you go. The recording used to give directions to get to the DI from Rt 44 Or Rt 55. Don’t know why they discontinued this option.
A real LIVE person WILL answer the phone after 7:30pm if you have question or need directions to the theatre!
The Overlook DI has a large capacity and can accommodate 750 cars making it one of the BIGGEST remaining single screen Drive In’s in New York State!
The grass and grounds are CLEAN and maintained very nicely! Trees encircle the ENTIRE DI from when you go past the ticket booth and to the road the leads to the exit!
Monday night IS bargain night where all tickets are $ 5.00. The cost all other nights is a very reasonable $ 8.00 for TWO motion pictures!
The screen is BIG six stories tall and freshly painted for the operating season!
One of the BEST things about the Overlook is that there are NO houses, business or lights of ANY kind that can interfere with the movie going experience. Come show time it is TOTALLY DARK except for snack bar lights! This is the BEST way to watch a double feature. Other Drive In’s I have gone to have many businesses and homes near them. This creates distractions form the ambient light coming into the DI.
The snack bar has popcorn, candy, pizza, soft drinks nachos etc. However what sets this snack bar apart from others is the fact that they offer Black Angus burgers as opposed to the standard frozen «hockey puck» burgers that other Drive In’s feature. The burgers ARE very juicy and flavorful. The employees are friendly and helpful, especially if it is your first time going to a Drive In.
The projection is crisp clear and bright on the GIANT OUTDOOR SCREEN! Sound is delivered through FM or AM (No more in car speakers) You can «rent» a portable radio IF you would like to sit outside your car in a chair, or bring your own 80’s boom-​box!
Intermission brings «classic trailers» like the PIC bug spray add from the 50’s and several other gems from yesteryear!
There is something «magical» about siting outside with the light from the projection booth, behind you, watching two motion pictures, under the stars that can’t be put into words!
In conclusion The Overlook is a real «gem» among the 30 or so Drive In’s still operation in New York State! If you live in NYC, Jersey Rockland or Westchester County make a trip up to the Overlook Drive In! You will be glad you did!
