wilderness outdoor movie theater

We discovered this place and have made it a summer treat for several years. It is the neatest drive-in theater I've seen in my life. The grounds are clean and the feeling is something out of the 1950's. Absolutely see this place and enjoy the treat. You'll not regret it. By the way, it's cheap and completely family oriented (even a dog area).

Old school drive-in with all the up to date movies and releases!!! Get there early bc this place will definitely fill up and you want to get close to screen but if you don't you will still see the screen bc they are huge!!! Bring your on refreshments bc there's are a little pricey!! You will definitely enjoy!

We found this little gem and decided to try it out as a last hurrah before school started up again. This theater seems like it's way out in the middle of nowhere, but it's very close to Chattanooga, TN (30 - 40 min). There are 2 "screens" showing 2 movies per night. The cost is low; only $7 per person for both movies, and the movies are current releases. Also, it is immaculately kept; from the grounds, to the concessions, including the bathrooms. The only operate on weekends.You must bring a portable radio if you want to hear the movie(s) without draining your car battery. Get there early, as soon as the gates open, (7pm) to get a front row spot - it's the best. Don't worry, there is plenty of space between the screen and front row, you won't be craning your neck to see the screen. Nor will you have anyone in front of you with their hatch-back open to obstruct your view. This isn't a big problem, the rows are spaced out enough you should be able to see over the car in front of you unless you drive a tiny car. The concessions area is immaculate and the food is very reasonably priced. They do not allow you to bring in food or beverages, no alcohol is served or permitted. The owner, you can tell takes great pride in this place, and the staff is helpful and caring.Overall; clean, safe, good for families, in a quiet area, fun.

The entire complex sits on about 130 acres- I believe the owner once told me. There are 2 screens that both show 2 features each night. These are current movies, not old movies. The owner runs a very tight ship. Don't go there if you plan to drink alcohol or party! You will be asked to leave. This is a place that doesn't do rain checks either. If it's raining go at your own risk! You won't get your money back. They have a huge selection at the concession stand including hot dogs and hamburgers. The prices are very reasonable compared to other traditional movie theaters. The parking lot is gravel, but huge. You can bring lawn chairs, or you can sit in the back of your pickup truck to watch the movie. Bring a battery powered radio so you can hear the sound if you do this! They will boost you off if your battery dies because you have to listen to the movie sound using your car radio. This is a very family friendly environment. The restrooms are exquisite! Lots of fun! Your dog is welcome, but keep it on a leash. They have a pet pooper station for when a pet has to go. I strongly urge anyone to go and see what's great here. You'll go back again and again. My highest rating!

get there at 9pm ,play in grassy area before movie starts , concession prices are reasonable - only 4.50 for tub of pop corn , everyone was well behaved , get there early enough for front row seats , awesome drive in movie experience kids loved it !!

While visiting friends in Chattanooga, they took us to the Wilderness Outdoor Movie Theater. While is was about 40 minutes from their house, it was well worth it!This outdoor movie theater is has very friendly staff and is immaculately clean! Never been in such clean public bathrooms! There is a great lawn area to sit or to play while you are waiting for your movie to begin. Gates open at 7:30 but be prepared to wait as people were already lined up before gates open. Can't beat the price. It costs us just $7 for a double feature of first run movies. They don't allow out side food to be brought in but their food was good and reasonably priced. Show your support and buy from them. I guarantee you will still get way more for your money than you would at your local theater for the same movies.
