Before you arrive at the BDI, determine what movie you want to see. You would be surprised how many customers we get who do not know what they want to watch. And they determine that at the Ticket Booth, slowing down the line of other patrons wanting to get in too.

Determine what Cinema your movie is in and ask for that Cinema and the number of tickets. If your movie is a movie we are charging for children, please determine who has to pay and who does not (see here) This speeds things along. We want to direct you to the correct movie theater, charge you the correct amount and get you settled, in as little time as possible so you can enjoy the evening before the movie starts. This is part of the "Drive-In Experience".

Please ask if "Cross-Over Tickets" (see here) are necessary tonight if you want to switch to the other cinema for the 2nd feature. NOTE: They will ONLY be available during Intermission. Return to the Ticket Booth AFTER the first movie is over (WITH YOUR VEHICLE) and purchase the required tickets and then proceed to the other cinema.

YOU CAN NOT PARK IN THE OTHER CINEMA AND WALK DOWN TO THE TICKET BOOTH AND PURCHASE CROSS-OVER TICKETS

Plan on getting to the BDI at least 45 minutes before the posted start time during the week and 2 hours on weekends. If you don't, you may find yourself parked in the back along the fence (unless you didn't come to just see the movie!)

Please observe our 5 mph speed limit on our grounds, entering AND leaving.

If you have a dog, he is welcome too and he may receive a treat at the Box Office. Just keep him on a leash.

If you want to "tailgate" you are welcome.  NO cooking is allowed unless it is on an electric grill due to fire hazards.
We also have a vast array of reasonably priced food in both Concession Stands. Remember, Cinema II has "Fair" style sandwiches.

We ask that you do not bring in Glass beverage containers.

Park next to one of the parking poles (see here) You can park backwards if you like, just follow the Liftgate Rule. (see here) Lawn chairs / blankets / small tents can be placed directly in front of your vehicle.

Make sure your headlights AND running lights will be off. (see here)

Tune your radio to the correct radio station for the cinema you are in. 
(Cinema I = 106.1 FM / 600 AM.     Cinema II = 92.3 FM)

If you vehicles radio does not work or you just need a radio for the kids, see the cashier at Cinema I for a battery powered Boombox radio. The rental fee for the evening is $5 and your drivers license as collateral. The radio can be returned at any time during the night to the Cinema I Concession Stand and you will receive your drivers license back.

Set your vehicles ignition switch to "Accessory" (see here)

We have windshield cleaning supplies and bug repellent at the Concession Stands.

If your battery does go dead, DO NOT CALL A TOW TRUCK OR AAA, See one of the field personnel or have them paged at the Ticket Booth / Concession Stand  (see here), we will jump start you.

SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE SHOW!
