El Rancho Drive-In Theatre

The El Rancho is a wonderful family owned labor of love! It's one of the few remaining drive-ins in our area. For $10 each, you get 2 first run movies, and their snack bar is virtually a full service restaurant. The food is great, reasonably priced, good variety, and cheaper than McDonald's. On Sunday nights they have 1 movie, and it's $20 per carload! The place is well groomed, attractive, and safe. Love watching the kids run around on the lawn in front of the screen before the movie starts! 🥰

Its a great lil place. Ive gone here for as long as i can remember. Not many like it anymore. Check out thier facebook page as well because they have a weekly giveaway for free passes. And always remember to keep ur headlights and tail lights off. Always the most annoying part of any drive in. This place nakes a lot of its money from selling food, candy and drinks so please go there hingry and buy some tasty things. Its def worth it

We had a great time, can't wait to go again! It was fun seeing Hocus Pocus on the big screen, awesome way to start the Halloween season. It was easy to get to and the employees are very nice.

Best drive in by far. Old school retro styled theater. Classic commercials. You'll feel like you're n the movie Grease, only your watching modern films. I knew the family that runs this business, and they are beyond welcoming. Amazing concession stand. I don't know if they're still doing Scare-a-thons for Halloween (I hope they are) but I was beyond honored when they had me be a part of it 9 years ago. (I'm the skeleton demon guy in the photos below) Truly an experience worth every single penny paid. 🍿 🎥 😁

Nice small drive in not many of these left great way to spend a summer night outside on the big screen with families and loved ones

We watched Hocus Pocus and Casper on Friday!! An awesome venue to watch on the big screen! Great prices at the concession stand and awesome decorations!!

The drive In gotta love it!

Great place that brings back a lot of nostalgia. It's really great the family that owns it are doing their best to keep it running. Awesome concession joint also.

We won tickets from their Facebook page and went to their Trunk or Treat Halloween promotion. I haven't been to the drive in a long time. The owners/workers were super nice and friendly, the food was great and low priced. They had decorated the concession area and we had fun taking photos with my wife and son. We will absolutely go back there!

Perfect place for a movie night out that won't break the bank. Prices are very reasonable considering they show 2 movies in one night. Snack bar has plenty of options. If you plan to sit outside your car don't forget the bug spray. This place is a must visit in summer.

Great, nostalgic place to catch a new movie. Good snacks and nice staff. We had a great night.

Great drive in. Family friendly atmosphere

So glad this is here! We love going to the drive in and seeing a movie in our own car. Plenty of space for kids to play beforehand too. Fantastic snack bar with the world's best popcorn!

Staff very friendly & helpful. Had a car problem last night at the show & they came to our rescue. It's great to just have a drive in near us, but also one like this. The facility is well maintained & has a great snack area as well as good prices.

Great for family fun or date night!

They have large popcorn portions, great fried dough, and super friendly service.

Most importantly, the audio is excellent and their screen is easily visible from all parking spots!

I overall highly recommend coming here! Give their fried dough a try, too!!!

I have been going to this place since I was a baby! For a small town being able to go out with your family and enjoy a movie is awesome! The staff are VERY friendly and I love having conversations with them! The buttered pop corn is AMAZING along with the fried dough that is very tasty! They also have many more candies and foods. The audio is very clear and the picture is crisp and clear as long as its dark enough but the movies usually start when the sun is setting so there isn't any problem there. The prices are very reasonable and cheap!

This was an awesome experience. Since outdoor drive-ins are almost a memory from the past..the El Rancho in Palantine Bridge NY is still going strong. I have not been in about 40 years. Took my 6 year old grandson to see Jurassic Park and we had a great time. The snack bar is fine..just somewhat run down as with the bathrooms..but hey..we're in a field. The staff was friendly and food good and reasonable. People were respectful of each other's space. I'll go again..soon.

Always love coming here every summer. Staff is always amazing and can make us smile. Would always recommend this drive-in to anyone looking for a good weekend of relaxing. Been going here as far back as I can remember.

Very nice drive in. My very first time ever going and they were so nice there. I highly recommend anyone to go there. For two movies $8 an adult not bad at all for two movies. Will definitely be going again!!!

I love this place and go on a regular basis. The owners are great, the food is great, and it's real 100% old school Americana! My 14 year old daughter loves it as well, I can't say enough about the El Rancho and the Ozoner 29.
