Great value. Excellent ticket prices and a great range of food also at great prices. There can often be queues to get in but you don't have to wait long. Always plenty of staff on.
Great way to watch movies, good sound, good sized screens, delcious food at the cafe - not the burgers. plenty of spaces for cars, can get busy on school holidays but wouldn't watch them any other way
I love the drive ins. Gives movie night an old school feel. The dognuts are delicious. The hot dog bread is a bit tough but doesn't ruin the meal.
We love going in my partners car with a mattress and blankets in the back, best way to experience it.
I have been going to this drive in for many years (before 2008). The Drive in is a former shadow of what it was....truly, as for the value for money yes in summer it can have some effect for a carload...but a carload in winter while raining out side no thanks.
Pricing
when I first started going kids under 12 free and had double session's without having to pay for the next film....now well to be honest it is near the area of don't bother.
Screens and sound
Screens 1 to 3 are true drive in screens and are fantastic to watch films on. ...screen four well if a film is on that screen change films or head home. Sound is by radio and I think it is one of the best parts of the drive in.
Food and amenities
If you asked me 6 years ago....it rocked and good value, now dont bother and bring your own.
The amenities are good and clean, also the playground is fantastic for the little ones.
Staff
I have only ever encounted one bad staff member in all my time taking the family and friends, for the most part the staff are helping and nice to deal with.
Summary
I love this drive in and it is sad to go in the direction that it is going, I wish that in some way they could understand why the numbers are down and fix it.
Food...it is poor right now and is a easy fix
Pricing....can be fixed with only a few steps dropping the price and fixing the other issues they will return. Also a free hint no dad or mum wants to see a kids film..pssst make the adult free or offer a coffee or anything for them.
Approximate cost: $40
Hi Gavin, Not sure what you are compareing to regarding cost. In 2002 our adult price $12, it is now $13! Our double feature carload price was $35, our carload price now is $30. Our 2nd features were all older movies with limited appeal, now every film is first release. (You can still see any second film you wish for only an extra $5 btw)
Our food has remained the same, with burgers and snacks cooked fresh using mostly local produce. The prices have only risen slightly in all that time. In fact by weight, our burgers and chips are lower in price than McDonalds. Our popcorn which is popped fresh every night, is the lowest cost of any cinema in Victoria.
As for losing customers, the business has more than doubled since 2008. We have major works about to get under way which will see modernised and expanded viewing areas, cafe. ticket boxes and toilets. Sorry you think we have gone backwards, but it is the same family running the Lunar that always has been since re-opening in 2002..
Horrible experience here 1st off the choc top I got was brocken, the popcorn was cold and stale also didn't help the movie was bad. It just topped off a bad night.
Approximate cost: $25.00
You didn't ask for another popcorn and replacement ice cream? The staff of any caring business would want to know this information. Their reaction just may have pleasantly surprised you. Who chose the movie?
Great experience. So cheap two movies for the price of one. This is a classic drive in, and good fun for the family. The food is okay and and cheap. I took my dogs in the car to see a movie!
we often frequent here to see lots of movies especially during those hot summer nights. the food at the cafe is fabulous and pretty well priced. the movie marathons are a bargain price and the staff are always very kind and helpful. the screens are of good quality and the radio stations and are always clear.
Been here a few times. Pricing is great compared to the cinema. You need to get there early to get up the front, but there's plenty of parking spots anyway. Can be annoying when cars have their lights on while trying to watch the movie. And I have been next to cars with their kids jumping in and out of the car. Best to go and watch the M rated films, no disturbances. The food is not high quality and over priced. Our hot chips were dry and shrivelled. We complained and OMG got another lot of dry and shrivelled chips. Good place to go, but definitely take your own food. And also in winter, the windows of the car keep fogging.
A great place to go with family and friends. There's a range of movies on, hot food and snacks, free games inside the cafe' if you arrive early, a small playground, great sound and picture and fair prices.
A nice place to relax and enjoy family time and let the kids fall asleep on the way home.
Approximate cost: $28 per carload
This is so much fun and such amazing value. You pay by the car load rather than per person. We pack up the kids, deck chairs, food and the thermos so it's a really cheap night of entertainment . Had a steak sandwich from the cafe once and it was good too
Approximate cost: $28
Sounds like something to try instead of the standard cinema.
