For those who aren’t fans of wide cinema and being seated next to loud strangers, there’s a movie house in this area that could be good for you. There’s nothing like a private, air-conditioned room with comfy couches to keep you settled. They also have a private KTV perfect for housing your group of rowdy friends.
I had the time of my life at this awesome little drive in for Grease/Dirty Dancing. The radio connection was perfect and as much as others seem to hate it, I really loved the background traffic and honking trains. In my opinion, they only added to the drive-in experience! A little stinky near the dog food factory and the directions to the actual screen are a nightmare but hey, its a cheap, city drive-in. 5 stars.
Great drive in! They take all necessary details into account. Two movies for the price of 1 is insane! Really modern movies, only a month old! It was awesome, the speakers could use more sound in the back. Many people leave during intermission so you can get closer for the second movie. Its s fantastic setup and such a cute romantic date spot.
It was okay, its summer so it was very hot. The only way to cool off was to keep your car running. There were team tracks right next to the drive in. There were trains passing so there was that.
Especially during the Covid 19 pandemic this is a great place to take the family. The staff are friendly, and professional. The restrooms were clean and usable. The behavioral expectations were clear for all patrons. Our family felt safe and had a great time.
Cant wait to go back!We have a shorter hatchback so we ended up in the front row. If you plan on watching from the back of your vehicle, bring a pillow or blankets. We forgot and sure did regret it.While the highway is behind the screen, we didnt find ourselves distracted at all. If anything a well timed car flying by added to the action!Sound is over the radio, or on speakers at the very front. Bonus of the front row is no fear of the car battery dying, since we could hear the speakers crystal clear!
I highly recommend only going with 2 or 3 people. When purchasing tickets it does not warn you of inside the car seating only. No lawn chairs allowed or no sitting outside (touching car) it allows you to buy as many tickets as youd like, but not mention this?! We had 7 people in a pilot, expected 2 or 3 to sit out, now we are all crammed in and uncomfortable. I understand the times we are in, but this is just not ok. Tell the costumers who are purchasing more than 3 tickets that they cant bring lawn chairs!!!
Absolutely miserable experience. I bought the tickets two weeks in advanced specifically because we could bring chairs, only to find out when we showed up they changed the rules and we were not allowed chairs. had a car load of teenagers in 90 degree weather right next to i25 noise.
So much fun! Really enjoyed the whole experience. A great night out!
No one told us that you couldn’t sit in lawn chairs! We got kicked out, without a warning. A lot of other people were also kicked out for bringing lawn chairs as well.Mind you, we didn’t see any sort of signage telling us that it was car seating only.We asked them if we could just hop back in the car and watch the movie, but they threatened to call the cops on us! Waste of time and money
The drive in is always fun but this one is located right by the freeway and an active train track which made it really hard to hear. The freeway is right behind the screen and there are lights right next to the screen so viewing is not the best either. Still fun but certainly not the best drive in.
It was a very cool place to take my grandbabies to and it was Great sone very kind Lady gave us some Free Chips Hooray
Fun throwback night. Was able to exchange tickets no problem from a few wks ago. Parked up.front and the speakers werent too close so we kept the radio on and killed the battery, then it started raining and the employees had to take the speakers down but they came immediately and jumped the car so we could turn the radio on. JURRASIC PARK on the big screen is the only way to watch it.Bathrooms were clean, we brought our own snacks and it was def worth 10$. highly recommend. maybe park further back so the back seat can see the movie.
Cars are spaced with one space open between cars. So plenty of room for social distancing. They will let you sit at the very back of your hatchback with your feet on the ground outside of your car. But you cannot have a chair right at the back of your hatchback. Yet plenty of trucks allowed with people sitting in the back. Not consistent and not reasonable.
LOVED IT, a lot of fun and incredible value for money. Cant believe Ive been in the USA for 32 years and never been to a drive in before. Enjoy the whole experience, very laid back and easy going, sit inside your car, on the roof, in the back of a pickup, in the seats at the front right next to the screen or in the seats at the back. Food and drink very good for the price, limited menu but thats ok, the ice creams are delicious. AWESOME TIME, 2 current movies for less than the price of one at the theatres, outside on perfect Colorado evening. THANKS
Its nice to have a theater to go to. I wish the concession was open. Thete is a Groupon, but come early to use it.
They only operate on the weekends. You have to buy tickets far in advance and the picture is washed out. Go to the 88 drive in it is much better.
Cant say if theaters good or. Ot therexee site dosent ha s valid link for tockets
Nice to have another drive-in theater option in Denver, but wish it wasnt under the highway lights.
Not much ambiance and the highway lights wash out the screen a bit. The spaces are really tight and trucks/SUVs have to park in back rows. Wish there were more drive ins still around to choose from.
Really cool place to go as a family and still be physically distanced. great value too!
Classic drive in. Everything from entry to exit went smoothly
Quite a unique experience at the Denver Mart Drive in! This would be a great outing for kids and families, but youve definitely got to be able to roll with the punches! The tickets are a pretty good deal if you stay for both movies (2 movies for $10 a person), and its always fun to have that outdoor drive-in experience. However, since its next to the highway, there is a lot of unwanted background noise, and you will probably have the highway light right behind your movie screen, which can be distracting. There is also the occasional train rumbling by! In addition, the sound quality of the radio station they use is pretty poor, and there is a lot of crackling. All in all, there are some rougher parts, but its fun to get the drive-in experience in the middle of the city!
Observing social distancing properly, great movie selections.
Great drive in, very confusing to find the entrance.
We loved this place when it opened. But the concession stand is not what it used to be. The employees inside seam to be more grumpy than usual. And now that have parking lot security that drives around the whole time during the movie . Its dumb. I am Shure that like most other establishemnts. Thay are saving money and man power. Maybe we will be back . But its still kinda fun.
It was a great time, it was well spaced, sound and video were good
We had the best time. It reminded me of my childhood.
Movie was supposed to start at 8, didn’t until almost 9. Radio station reception was so poor could hardly hear. Will not be coming back again.
I want this place to succeed, and they did a lot of things right. It’s clean given that it’s in a parking lot in an industrial part of town. The food staff was really nice. The screen was large and they had a nice seating area up front.But the cons seem irreconcilable to me. The smell from the purina factory was overwhelming and consuming until well into the night. The highway noise and lighting was a constant distraction, and the train tracks that are literally right next to you are very loud as trains pass by. I don’t feel like I saw the movie at all.If it weren’t for the smell and noise, it could be a super cool Americana vibe, and a good options for families to hang out together. I’d love to see the same company get a better location and move.
Great double features. Very roomy & they provide chairs if you do not want to sit in your car. Your able to listen through your radio instead of speakers. They separate vehicle by having the larger ones park in the back rows. They have a concessions stand.
Nice place to see movie in these times
We love going to this drive-in! Everyones really nice and its just a fun thing to do for a good price. Someone else said the concession stand was pricey, but its actually MUCH cheaper than going to an actual movie theater. Highly recommend!
Its a nice way to enjoy a movie outdoors with family for affordable price. The place is clean, its urban, speakers in front. Great Experience for a Saturday night.
We went to watch IT/IT2 tonight and ended up leaving 20 minutes into the first movie because the light behind the screen from the highway is so bright you couldn’t see anything if the movie was in a dark scene. IT being a scary movie makes most of the movie based in a dark scene so we couldn’t see anything that was happening.
This Drive-In is legit. I cant remember the last time Ive been to a Driv-In but I cant wait to go back to Denver Mart. The concession stand was a bit pricey. I expected that though. Its clean and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The one negative thing I have to say is that darn train interrupted my movie 2 times. It was kind of cool being that close to a live train. Weve come along way from the speakers to the dirt lot. Now we have FM transmitted audio directly to your car speakers and concrete. Strong clean concrete. No dust nor mud.
Chaotic start to get in, address isnt correct but got there eventually.
Love love love the Drive In! Very clean and the employees made sure cars and trucks obeyed by the rules on parking. Definitely will be coming back!
Wow we had a really great time saw two really great movies we ate at the cafe they have there it was awesome the food was great it was served very quickly prices were kind of high for the food but they allow you to bring snacks and food with you and we didnt know that so next time we will we will be returning it was a good time
Really great spot for a drive in theater! Super fun but make sure to get there around open so you can get a good spot.
Love the classic set up. Nostalgic and fun. Great for families and friends. Would recommend.
Love this drive-in!! Really doesnt matter where you park you always seem to have a great view of the screen. Our favorite part is the lawn chairs setup in the front with speakers so you can watch the movies under the stars. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Would recommend for a family night or date night!
Between the street light right behind the screen and the train that comes by blowing his horn ... It wasnt that bad . Nice quality showing and kids had fun.
We go every opening day. Well never miss it.... the staff is awesome.. the consesions could stay open longer. Everything else is great worth the trip
I loved going to the drive in movies as a kid. Denver did it right with this one, it is confusing to get to but just follow the different little signs and you should be able to spot it.You can pay from your phone or with card, the snack bar was surprisingly decent its in a weird little convention center looking thing but other than that it was decent and fairly priced. Outside I was surprised to see they set up a fake lawn area with games and lawn chairs to hang out at. I was most surprised at the clarity of the movies that you just tune into the station for, no more bulky box looking things. Overall nice experience.
So fun! Double feature, not a bad seat in the house, full concessions and restrooms. Perfect summer evening!
Technical difficulties had us waste our whole evening, only to leave without seeing a movie. Bathrooms are very far from the lot. Ruined our last chance get out and enjoy a drive-in night before our baby is born.
It was ok we would go again its to expansive to by any thing price is to hi to get in other then that ok
Great place, me and my family go here all the time. Cant beat 2 movies for 10$ per person over the age of 6.
Great place for a cheap movies in the summer months. I love that you can bring in your own food and drink. Just make sure you bring items to make yourself comfortable in your car. They do a great job of parking vehicles so no ones view is blocked.
Except for the lights from the freeway and the train going by the free games that they have in front of the screen for the kids its better
The digital radio didn’t work. They started the movie early. Terrible experience won’t be back. I don’t understand how this place has a 4 star average.
These places have been disappearing for a while but this place tries hard to bring that feel of Americana back. We have always had a great time when visiting this place. I hope more people visit them for a move with and some old school fun.
There was no signage indicating where to go. You can see the screen from the highway, but finding out how to get there is another challenge all together. Google maps and apple maps won’t get you there!When we finally got there, they had already started the movie a good 30 minutes before dark, so you couldn’t see the movie. We went to watch IT chapter 2, which has a lot of dark themed action scenes, and we couldn’t even tell what was going on. When it finally got dark, the entire parking lot was lit up with ambient light from nearby businesses and the highway lights, so the picture didn’t get any better.Finally, they advertise having a digitally broadcasted FM station so you can listen on your phone hooked up to a Bluetooth speaker, but they were not broadcasting as advertised. Subsequently, the only way to listen to the movie is through the unsynchronized echo of your vehicles FM vs everyone else’s vehicle.Terribly disappointing experience all together.
I keep getting flat tires here, but thats the price you pay for the thing you love.
My 1st time at the denver mart drive inn, would be better if they could block out lights from highway. The train wasnt as bas asi thought it would be.
Paved parking,clean bathrooms nice concessions. Only drawback is the highway noise
Its right behind i25 and next to a set of train tracks a train rolled through in the middle of toy story 4 and the one off of 88th by the flea market is better in my opinion but Im going to try the 3rd one this weekend in Aurora I think and Ill let yal know
I love this drive in. The food is even good in the little cafe.
Place hits all of the classic Americana nostalgia feels in all of the right places. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. As many others have mentioned in reviews the entrance is in a very strange place. Right by the train tracks on Washington street with the white signs that say entrance.
The parking lot is not coordinated, we had to sit apart to see. There was a gross smell midway through the movie and the train went by multiple times. It’s cheap, not sure what I expected but the drive in on 88th is better.
It was worth time and money.
Lovely drive in but the snacks are really expensive (2.25$ for a water bottle)
Love to attend trade shows here.
My family had a blast. The concession stand could of been closer, but its the Drive In, get what you need and the corner store. One major issue, more signs to the location, other than that go and have fun.
Good time wirh the family love this place
I loved it the first time we went. We brought our own popcorn with blankets and pillows and just relaxed until the movie started. We only stayed for one movie because we were tired by the time the second movie started. I cant wait to come back!
First time here so far so good
Not too crowded great place to look at new movies I would not recommend the nachos there always stale
Its ok, friendly staff, but there is the highway right behind the screen, so not so great scenary
It is a nice little spot. Best to bring your own food. Fun for the whole family. We didnt have any issues with train noise like some reviews have mentioned.
If they could get rid of the damned flood lights on the commercial building across the street from the screen it would be great lol. Its hard to see the screen after awhile.. otherwise, it would be just like the drive in I grew up near!
Brothers graduation
It was our first time at the denver mart drive in and we had a great time! The staff was super friendly and helpful, and we also stopped by the little cafe and everyone was so nice. We saw just 1 train pass but it didnt interfere with either movie. Overall, we loved it and we will be back again! :)
LOVE the Drive-In so much! This is a fun place, but the highway noise can be distracting as can the trains. But..it is the Drive In so we just deal with it. The staff is always nice and helpful and the parking lot is clean and well maintained.
My family and I had a blast. The staff is friendly unlike the staff at 88th drive-in. We had three vehicles in our group and the staff helped us arrange to be together. Which is never an option at the other place. The only setback is the concession stand. The popcorn isnt movie theater popcorn and there wasnt a whole lot to pick from. No funnel cakes for the kids:( They offer front row seating in lawn chairs and high quality speakers. Before the show there were games set up for the kids. Great place will come again...
Really noisy because its right next to the highway and there are train tracks literally right next to it. The light for the highway above the screen is horrible.
Who loves watching a moving smelling the STINK coming from the Purina dog food plant. This is disgusting.
Horrible is an understatement. Large vehicles arent supposed to park in front but, apparently the rules dont apply to those who arrive late. Also, the designated smoking area is non existent. People smoke any where and the staff does nothing to stop them (regardless of how many times you ask). Oh and did I forget to mention youre 50 feet away from train tracks? Yes, active train tracks that conveniently change tracks during the movie. So lovely when you miss half an hour of the show because you cant hear it. Not only is it horribly loud but then you get the lovely smell of the dog factory on the other side of the interstate cooking chicken and liver dog food. Ugh, so gross. Very dissapointed and will not return again. Pueblo Drive in is so much better!
Had a great time.
Only operates in the Summer months.
Staff members were friendly and smiling when we pulled up. The snack bar is nice, but it would be much cheaper to pack a cooler with ice for cold beverages and to bring your own hot food. Bring enough to get you through two shows. Bring your pillows and blankets to be comfortable. Big trucks in the back, small cars and hatchbacks in the front. Lots of space to get out and park your lawn chairs if you want. There are industrial train tracks literally right next to the viewing area which got annoying as it got later and the trains started coming more frequently for night work. Overall, a great experience and I will be back again.
We came for the Drive In and loved it! I havent been since I was a kid but Ill be back a lot more frequently now. You get there at 7pm for a decent parking space and then the movie doesnt start until almost 9pm, so bring some camp chairs, a picnic dinner, and some fun things to do to pass the time. There were lots of families kicking a ball around or throwing a football. It was a lot like tailgating until the movie started. There is a Groupon deal that will get you in for cheaper, but its already a phenomenal deal because you get to see two films. The snack bar is expensive and does not have a ton of options so pack a cooler.
I loved everything second
Overall this is a fun place to visit on one of Denvers rare warm summer nights. The volume on the speakers could have been much louder for those sitting outside. There was a lot of competition from the sound of the freeway just behind the theatre screen. Our movie did not start until almost 9pm and this meant everyone was too tired to sit through the second feature.The drive-in is a little pricey because you pay per person not per car. For kids over 7 the cost is $10 the same as adults. So if you take 4 kids over 7 its $40 just for the movie tickets alone compared to someplace like the Elvis theatre where you would only pay $4 for the same 4 kids its pretty expensive. They should consider adding a play ground or some other form of entertainment for kids while theyre waiting 2 hours for the movie to start, then it would be worth the cost.
It was clean! Real bathrooms and decent food. Will go again. It is hard to find and its right off of the highway.
Can some One Shoot That Street Light Behind the Screen ?! Or turn up The brightness on the screen ?!
Really excited to go back! It does get really busy parking wise but I like that they direct cars/parking so the bigger cars are in the back. I have never been able to stay for the 2nd move always to tired but the price is great for 2 movies.
Was okay weird vibe to it. Have to go around the back and theres barely any signage for parking. Park on a second set of lines in the lot and set up. View of the screen was ok but train noise was a thing and the concessions stand was a journey through the parking lot and into the unused auditorium. Just felt strange. Audio quality was decent and snack options were ok too they have hot food and cold food and drinks but bring your own water its too dang expensive.
I was super excited when I heard this drive in was opening, but since then it hasnt been that great. Of course there is all the other things they other people say, you hear the highway noise and see the highway lights and of course the train that goes by at least 3 times during the movies. Then there is the concession stand not a huge variety but they act like the AMC and other theaters where they completely overcharge. But now this season has made me glad I still have the 88 drive in which is cheaper, has more movies and the concession stand is a far better value. I am so disappointed this season in the movie choices. The movie choices are ridiculous, the first movie of the night is the only new release movie they show, the 2nd movie has only ever been movies that you can get on DVD and that trend appears to continue for this coming weekend with Jurassic world and then Rampage (I get it Rampage isnt on DVD/Blu ray yet but it will be in 2 weeks.Total ripoff, overpriced, so glad 88 is still going strong.
Loved it, great staff and good movies
Looking foward 2 being there
