The drive-in theater experience was fun and entertaining. We saw a double header that started at 8:45 and ended after 1am. So plan ahead. Some cars left and some joined between the movies. The sound was great through our radio and you can watch thought the front windshield or open the back liftgate of your vehicle. We enjoyed viewing out the back and had a comfy setup with sleeping bags and blankets. The viewing is not high definition due to outdoor constraints and a few forgetful drivers leaving their headlights in until they were reminded to turn them off. We will likely be back again in better weather.
Rustic Tri View has been entertaining Rhode Island since 1951. In it's hayday it was likely quite the place... Positives are the low cost $30 per car, summer 2023, decent newer projection equipment and a recently renovated concession shack and restrooms. On the negatives column, the curvature of the hillside and humps seems to all curve towards screen 1 likely the 1951 layout, which means that if your film is being shown on screens 2 or 3 your car will be leaning to one side and back. Screens 2 and 3 are on the back corners at the top of the lot. The pavement has seen better days, like Rhode Island roads, the pavement is full of patches patching patches, cracks and generally in disrepair. This makes walking treacherous particularly in the dark, twisted ankle waiting to happen. Parking spots are barely visible. This is less so, for certain areas better maintained near the snack shack and screen 1. The paved areas near screens 2 and 3 look like they need a good mowing from all the weeds coming through the cracks. However, the biggest negative is that many viewers basically tailgate and are not quiet during the movie, this take away from hearing the movie. Maybe these are people who aren't allowed at movie theaters because they talk through the entire movie, so they go to the Rustic? Maybe these are just annoying people who are there for a tailgate party versus a movie??? Also, the many people who turn on headlights and car lights during the movie. There aren't any attendants to keep these annoying people from ruining your experience. I mean come on people, turn off your lights and don't be inconsiderate bafoons.
Excellent spot and great value! Two movies for about $30 can’t be beat. You can bring snacks, but the concessions are fairly priced and the food was excellent! My car’s battery died early on, but the employees were friendly and quickly gave me a jump. Be prepared for a late night in summer, the movie started around 8:20 pm and we left after watching two near 12:30 am!
The lot is pretty tore up but the bathroom was clean and the movie visual quality was great. Hit up the snack stand for some treats while you're there! We will definitely be returning. So much better than a theater. I get to control the volume in my own vehicle, my seats are comfy, no strangers sitting close, much more affordable too!
It was our first drive in experience, and I would say it wasn't amazing, but it wasn't horrible. The cons: extremely unpaved/bumpy roads. Your car may be parked on somewhat of an angle. The lines on the ground were difficult to see, and we did not have any direction. Some cars left their headlights on. Another car had people smoking weed. Although this is against regulation, it is not regulated. Pros: it's a pretty large place with three screens. They have lots of nice options at the snack shack. I felt the quality of the projection was really good. We got a panasonic portable radio, and it worked amazingly. The price is unbeatable. It made for a very lovely date night.
This is a drive-in on a partially paved hill. Think this is a great place to experience a drive in, we've never had any rude people issues, and the staff is polite and professional. Last Saturday we got there by 7 and there was lots of space, you could go up to the start of the movie but I'd say arriving by 7:30 is perfect. We brought our own food in, but the food at the snack bar is surprisingly affordable. We covered up and sprayed clothes with bug spray and only came home with a few bug bites. It's probably best to be away from the treeline if you can. A great time!
Watched Barbie and Meg 2 on the far left screen. Picture quality left a lot to be desired. The other screens had sharper quality, so I guess it was luck of the draw with that. The popcorn was old and soft, way too much butter, the Fried Oreos were definitely worth the wait. Overall, it's not a bad spot to catch a movie with friends. Just be prepared to squint to see the subtitles if you're watching on the left screen.
It's a new experience. It's nice. However, it needs some improvements, and for starters, the screen facing the road needs an updated screen. Also, if they talk to the business facing the road, requesting to turn off the light so the light doesn't bother people watching.. Also, they should not admit people after the movie has started since cars come in with their bright light and bother everyone and take their attention off the movie. The concession is nice and has some really good treats.
What all amazing and nostalgic place to bring my children. That you for allowing me to share this experience with my family! Can't wait to remind everyone to catch a movie
It was our first time. There are three screen sections., You will need to arrive early to get a good spot depending on the section. You pay by the side of your car. I was very impressed with the food. Really good. It plays two movies back to back. You could lounge with a good chair around your car or could do a back top as well. With some good blankets and a bucket of popcorn. This is a well recommended activity to do as a family.
