Going here to watch a movie is not great but its not horrible either. Sure, its a little cheaper then your normal theater no, but there are some issues. The angle of the parking spots is not very steep so sitting in a car can be a problem. There are still people in the middle of the movie that cannot figure out to turn their headlights off and it messes with your vision. Lastly, go for the later showings because you want it to be as dark as possible.

Saw Toy Story in the rain and got a Dr. Pepper Icee. My first time at a drive in was great!

Awesome spot with family to enjoy a good movie! The lines do get long to pay for your tickets, so I recommend arriving early! The spots were spaced out fairly good for the cars and snack bar lines are long as well so get there early enough for that too.I do want to add a warning - when the movie ends, there is no employee helping to direct the flow of traffic leaving. We almost witnessed 3 close-call accidents from drivers trying to exit and the lines leaving were twice as long compared to when we arrived. So be aware of that part.

I know it sounds trite but this is good old fashioned fun! We brought snacks, blankets and some coffee. We had a blast and didnt have to worry about COVID issues, either. You should go, youll love it! Is it fancy? New? Posh? No, but its fun. :)

This is the place to get away from it all in your car! They have dialed in all the best ways to keep you safe during covid. You can even order on an app and pick up your food. Price is good for movie and food.Also they have redone the surface of the outside theater (no more pot holes) but down side the bumps are not as high as they use to be. So if you want your back seat peep to see you will either have to get out of the car or find a clever way to improvise. Park further back?

Way better now that its been paved! Definitely a must during covid-19. Thank you for never getting torn down.

If youre a movie buff and are particularly snobby when it comes to immersive cinematic experience, then you want to stay away from drive-in at all costs. This isnt an indictment against West Wind theater because in all accounts, I had a positive experience.However, I enjoy an immersive cinematic experience, and unfortunately, under the covid circumstances were in, this was the only way to watch a new release. Overall, the picture quality from the projectors was surprisingly on par with the regular cinemas; Im willing to bet they were even using digital projectors. But, the audio, just as I was suspecting, was worse than I thought. I was hoping that my car having premium surround speakers would mitigate the stereo sound, but unfortunately it did not.It was my first time in 30 plus years of my life that I got to finally experience a drive in movie. The process is relatively simple and uncomplicated. You get in line by car to purchase tickets, not unlike going through a toll. Once you pay, youre told what station to tune in to sync your vehicles audio with the picture, and then provided the number of the corresponding parking lot for your movie.Similar to a regular in house theater, if you want to get the best seats, or in this case, the best vantage point from your car, you want to get there early if its for a blockbuster flick.We got there literally 3 minutes before the movie started so the lot was pretty packed and, and we didnt have time to find the best available spot left, so we settled for the first one in the very back. I wish I could say this was similar to sitting in the very back of the theater, which is certainly the least preferred spot, but one where the viewing distance is still tolerable. Unfortunately, this position at a drive in, or at least at West Wind, turned out to be worse. The viewing distance felt like I was watching the movie through my smartphone sitting about 6 inches away from my face.My advice, get there early to get the best spot.

Its the drive ins. There really isnt anything else to say about that. Its the way the drive ins have always been. If you liked the drive ins years ago, it hasnt changed. If you have no idea what its like, go check them out. Its a lot of fun. Bring everyone you know and make a party out of it. Throw a futon mattress in the back of the truck along with a few pillows and a couple blankets and youll stay comfortable all night.

We loved it. Grabbed dinner, ate in the car while watching the movie. As a middle aged couple, it was nostalgic for us. The drive in experience hasnt changed at all over the years. Loud talkers in other cars, the smell of marijuana, and yep, a little cupcaking in the car. Priced at 8.50 per person rather than by the car load was different but its cheaper than a theater and you have the privacy of your own car. Its good old fashion fun. And we love it. Not in the best part of town and the traffic getting in is kinda messy, but a small price to pay.

Backed up our Civic Hatchback in the front row. Pillows and blankets made the perfect bed to watch the movie. I wish the popcorn hadnt been so old, but it was one of the last showings and the concession stand chick gave us a ton of butter so it was alright

We loved it! Better than even thought. Our battery died at the end of the movie and before we could even get our cables out, there were these awesome security guys who showed up to help us. We went for Halloween and loved the experience. Thanks.

The person doing your recorded message his voice goes up and down and it makes it impossible to understand what hes saying. In the future Id have someone listen to your recorded msgs before approving them. I couldnt hear or understand your covid guidelines very frustrating.

1st time at a drive-in. Not ready to go to regular theaters because of COVID. Its very basic, nothing fancy. And I would add another star except the screens are dark/have too much black. But the sound from the car speakers is very clear and rich and the crowds were very peaceful. The tailgating was fun since it was a warm night. Overall a very good experience if you want to see new releases on a big screen.

Parking spots are paved and clearly marked.$8:50 for adults and $2.00 for children 6-12.A nice escape for the family. We never left our car. We took snacks and dinner. Get there early. 1st movie starts at 5:30.

I love everything about it it reminded me back when I was a kid you cant hardly find drive-ins anymore and me and my grandchildren had a good time there I would recommend it to anyone

Very solid staff and very well laid out. It was surprisingly easy to get in and out of the Drive-In, for I was expecting it to be more difficult. I didnt get a chance to try any of the snacks, but the line was socially distanced and masks were enforced. Its great to see a business like West Wind Drive-In accommodating the realities of the pandemic, and I felt safe during my visit. I will definitely see more movies at West Wind Drive-In, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

This has to be one of my favorite spots in Sacramento. Bring some of your fav grub and enjoy.

Lots of fun. Absolutely family appropriate. Take a car you can be comfortable in. Easy entry and exit with guides to assist you. I took snacks. I brought a radio to tune into the station needed to hear the movie. Recommended to avoid battery overuse and needing a jumpstart. Its happened with others. There is no bad seat in the house. Bathrooms are ADA friendly, clean. Physical distancing and masks required in all buildings. The snack bar is very friendly and efficient in serving folks. Popcorn, hot dogs, and drinks available. Im certain theres more food options that I do not order. Remember where you parked your vehicle.

It’s okay. Easy to get into but their traffic crosses so someone in a big truck almost took out my little car.The movies are close together and they let people have very load speakers so you can hear the other movie over your own.They let traffic in during the whole time movies are playing so it was very distracting when half the movie was just bright head lights.You had to wait in two lines for the concession stand. They’re both about 39 minute wait times. Very slow and not worth the line, bring your own food.

This is a great pandemic option. My little one and I just threw an air bed in back of the car and enjoyed a movie under the stars. It was nice being out in the world but still able to maintain safety and social distancing. An added bonus was the paved all the grounds! No more rock gravel and popped tires!!

Popcorn was not as good as our regular theater. The screen we were at was right in front of the entrance gate so there were constantly cars with headlights on behind us. Was fun for the family. Nice to bring your dinner and see a show. We live far away so we probably will only visit on occasion.

I have always loved this place! Its gotten cleaner over the years :) Prices have gone up, but its still cheaper than a regular theater, and I love the double features. But what I really love is the experience of hanging out outside watching movies! Just a couple of small complaints... The lines to get in dont move super quickly, and sometimes the staff arent very nice if it looks like youre trying to save a spot for someone (which I dont know why they worry about it unless its full...). But overall, I always recommend for people to come check out the drive in!

They have a good selection of movies, and the drive-ins are a novelty on their own. I wouldnt recommend going if you or someone in your group is sensitive to marijuana smoke, however.The bathrooms are clean and well lit, there is a serviceable refreshments counter with the standard movie-going fare, and oddly enough, a sandbox for bored people of all ages to entertain themselves in.Masks ARE required in the concession area, and there are spacing markers on the ground and theater staff keeping watch.I suggest that - as the flicks tend to start around 8:00-8:15 pm/2000-2015 - one gets their party there by 7:30-7:45 pm/1930-1945, to beat the ticket lines and to get a prime spot for viewing. On Tuesdays, the tickets are much cheaper - going down to $5.50 per adult instead of the usual $8.50, whereas the childrens prices stay steady at $2 for kids aged 5-11. Children 4 and under have free entry.

I havent been to a drive in since 1993 when I lived. In Colorado and seem. Jurassic park.I went here on a Friday night during covid and was so surprised. First the line seemed to. Move super quick. To get in and the staff was great. We found the parking spot and settled in. The snack bar had a line but we were able to order online and pick up.This who experience took me back to a more simple time. I cant wait. To. Go again.

Great place to bring the family or a date! Great movie theater snack bar. The staff enforced the COVID guidelines with no problem. Definitely would recommend this place for social distancing events

Affordable and a fun experience. Worth going, especially if you make an event of it with the whole family. It gets really dark if you are walking from your car to the restroom or to get food. I would assure kids are attended and to go with a buddy.

James help me out when I got to the window to pay. He did a good job. Had a great experience with staff. Everyone was friendly. This drive in experience was wonderful.

Its been years since I went to the Drive-Ins. Its a fun way to see a movie. You can tell which patrons that come often...I will be using some of their tips/tricks next time we come, like bringing a portable speaker instead of using the cars stereo system that ended up draining my battery. However, just like their website said, they have complementary battery-jump service. A friendly worker was at my car within 5 minutes and gave me some helpful tips for next time.

Great place, I love the atmosphere and freedom to walk around and privacy of your own car. However, as of the start of Corona the movies theyre playing are old. Other people also apparently do not know how to turn off their car lights and just blast the screen with their headlight. Other than that, its a pretty good place for a date, family outing, or a special trip.

A great place to spend a few moments not thinking about these unprecedented times. Enforces mask rules, which made us feel safer being out with others. Prices are relatively fair and the snacks are tasty.

Its the drive-in. Whats not to like about it. Great night out for the family during these odd times.Always friendly, Great Popcorn. Fun movies.Lets all go to the drive-in and have ourselves a treat.

The nostalgia of when I used to go as a youth, n now being able to share the drive-in experience with my children n grandchildren. A GODSEND outlet, especially during these times of social distancing, brought back a sense of normalcy, even if it was, just for one night. Thank you so much West Wind Drive-In, I hope u all know, your community really appreciate you. Thanks againSincerely, A Happy Dad, Husband, Father and Bompah (Grandpa)

It was great. And You know you have to get a Large Pop-Corn from the concession stand. Tuned in to 97.5 for movie sound and it brought back such good memories. Excellent Drive-In Movie Theater. Clean Bathrooms Was A Bonus!!! Grandkids Loved It. Saw War With GrandPa.

My friend and I had a nice time on what must have been 80s night or something, because we were lucky enough to see Jaws 1 and 3 on a Tuesday when the admission is discounted. The security guy was friendly. Both security officers made sure people social distanced.The only things that could have been better, were the 2 employees who could have had better attitudes. The cashier at the entrance really seemed to struggle with simple math, and didnt take the time to listen when trying to explain the change he was confused on giving me. It wasnt that busy but he just seemed unfocused. (Apparently giving him $21 for 2 people at $5.50 each, was too complicated). He refused to take the $1, and gave me back $9 change, rather the $10 I was hoping for. The other, was the female security guard. She had quite the chip on her shoulder when asking me to place my folding chair in FRONT of my vehicle and NOT to sit on the side by the drivers side door. The theater wasnt full, and I wasnt really comfortable with my vehicle behind me, but I moved my chair anyhow. As soon as the male security guard had come through, we were able to sit where we could hear the movie. I love this drive-in though, so it doesnt reflect on my rating because the movie quality was good and we had a nice time. Ive never had a bad time here, and am so appreciative of it still being open, an option in our city!!! Ill be going a lot more often too, now that I have someone who likes to join me. Although I didnt utilize the snack bar this time, I was able to see that they had it set up outside and looked like they had a few good options. Next time Ill head up the snack bar, too. Thank you always, for being an awesome drive-in!

Ive been coming here for years, I stopped coming due to the smell or Marijuana coming from every other car in past years. But recently they have posted signs restricting the smoking which is great since I come here with my family. They have security that walks around and keeps things organized and monitors things well.

The drive in movies are a great experience! Ive been coming here since I was a kid. They are taking COVID precautions: only letting so many people in to buy food, having an option to pre-order food, mandatory mask wearing, signs all over suggesting hand washing for at least 20 seconds, and more. The building is slightly old and so is the play equipment (currently blocked), but they have upgraded some things like the bathroom sinks. I love going!

Love the West Wind Drive in!!! Admission is $8, Tuesday $5. Large popcorn $7...double features, open late, last show at 12:45am(not everynight). Super clean bathrooms, staff is friendly and fun. I cant say enough about this place. I would give 10 stars!!

Of course I love the drive-ins, but they really need to update their film selection. It seems like the same films since May. With a few here and there that were added. The screen was fine sound quality for the cars were fine The only thing was is that we had a lot of pot smoking a lot drinking around us which is a big no-no in there. There was a security guard that kept his eye on things however I dont think it helped. I could see the security guard being useful in a fight situation or people driving back and forth and weird other things like that. But as far as substance used or drinks being out in public... Its pretty much everywhere. The staff and the snack concessions area worked really hard! Ticket people were just as cool.

Great place to watch movies and relatively cheap ^_^

They care more about their pot smoker customers then they do anybody else. Last night I went to complain about the smell in the exhaust since everybody was running their cars last night and we couldn’t breeze and we’re passing out we went to tell the managers and they said welcome to Sacramento. So if I understand correctly those no parking signs really are useless because you actually encourage people to do it I will never come back there again

I went this evening it was clean. The gentleman at the entrance cashier booth with black hair a little pass his ears was a very nice person. He was thorough regarding were to go and what channel to put your radio on thank you for having a great employee.

Watched 2 movies here, it was great. Way better then going to a regular movie theater. Ill be coming back forsure!

A family fun time and fairly easy to navigate. Definitely bring your own radio and some fold out chairs

Always have a great time here, online food ordering is way faster than standing in line. I wish there was a radio app to tune into to watch/listen to the movie.

Everything was great! When we got snacks the staff was clean, friendly and efficient. Best part of everything was at the end of the movie my car had died(my fault) When nobody around had cables. I went to the snack booth and asked if they had any, instead they sent someone out to my car within 10 minutes to jump my car. Not many drive-ins to choose from but I definitely recommend!

Been going there for twenty years. Inexpensive place to take the kids and you don’t have to sneak them in the trunk! Summer time with the kids? Back the pickup truck in, spread out the blankets and pillows, grab some popcorn and enjoy snuggling with the kids and take in a movie!Open during the “stay at home” drama, safe and fun. Enjoy it while you can folks. It’s been rumored to close for the last ten years and still going strong! But even though it’s the last drive-in around and one of a handful left in California, it won’t last forever. GO WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

Sign separating screens 3 and 4 is missing an arrow, causing us to almost be late to our movie in screen 4 when we parked in screen 4. Good concessions and excellent service. I wish the parking lot would get remodeled, but no ones perfect

Since walk in theaters are closed, this was an ok alternative. The facility wasnt bad at all but the customers made it just ok.

This place is doing a fantastic job during Covid. Especially with the snack bar. It was really nice to get out and watch a movie.

Great place to meet up with friends and socially distance. Nice snack bar. Cleanish bathrooms. Great radio reception!

Drive ins are open during this time & concession stand maintains open (operational different than before). There are no rules set regarding covid-19 but I do encourages visitors to wear mask when outside and to watch movies in their car because it does get crowded. Employees are helpful and nice and the movies play at set time.Good for a date and/or family and friends night.

We were put in screen 6. With the small screen it is a bother. It is too far from the bathrooms . Bathrooms are clean and tended too. Serving all food orders are served at the door to the play ground. They had a good customer service, and friendly workers that go beyond their required duty to help me.Thank you

We had a great time. It was the first time my grandson had ever been to a drive -in. We saw Nightmare Before Christmas, packed a picnic and enjoyed our time together. My grandson asked if we could go every Friday or Saturday night.

The only covid + pandemic safe movie theatre experience currently available.I like going here again. Costs around 6-8$ a ticket expect on tuesdays.The one thing i dont like is that there is a lot of light from the nearby buildings and that is the reason for deducting one star. I wish it was more isolated and not around so many buildings and freeways it would be great.They are now offering online food order for the cafeteria/snacks and it feels safe.

Great place to watch a movie I just wish there was a app for my phone so I can see what is playing so i can visit more often and watch a movie though but its still a great place to visit

Need movies more updated and some more adult movies. I’m not impressed this year. I come often and every Halloween

The drive in is a Sacramento institution! Ive come here since I was a kid. Im really happy to see it get another heyday now that just about all fun things to do are closed. You can sit in your car or in the bed of your truck. Concessions are closed but restrooms are open. It was so nice to get a sense of something normal. I went on a Thursday in July, so there were a lot of folks but it didnt feel overly crowded. Everyone parked at least a space away. I dont think Id try the weekend though, it would be busier than Id be comfortable with.

I enjoyed thier movies and thier premieres in the the summer. Thank you for supporting the lgbtq community!

We had a great time, it was like being in a time machine. Good movie fair prices. We will definitely go back.

I had a fantastic time going. Only thing is the screen that the movies I watched were on had the glare of the tail lights of everyone coming into the drive-in on it. So watching The Invisible Man was hard and I couldnt really see anything going on. The other screens looked great! Pretty good prices and they were very clear about the current rules in place due to the virus.

I loved e everything about the drive in here except when people opened their trunks it cut from our perfect view and line for popcorn was looong.I didnt like that cars next to us were smoking very bad and it made us sick

Great to still be able to get out and see a movie. My one complaint was that there wasnt much of a connection between the online ordering and the folks running the concessions. You have to make sure to approach the table and let them know you have an order waiting or else you might stand there for awhile with no information

Saw Metallica concert. Pretty cool but kinda crowded old school style drive-in that was up dated with FM broadcast. Bring chairs and drinks. Oh, and be prepared for a bit of a log jam when you leave...

Bathrooms are clean. Theaters were pretty full. Some of the theates have terrible sound pumped to them. A good night out

Great place for safe movie fun. Awesome for hanging out in chairs outside watching a movie with friends.

Very nice and clean Drive Inns .... I really enjoyed the movie October 27th 2020I watched War with Grandpa lol very funny. Covid safe went Tuesday night 1/2 price 5.50 person. Loved it. Thanks West Wing!

The place is great as a theater. Exactly what you would expect but the popcorn area is very old outdated and pretty bad over all. Staff are friendly and helpful great prices. Only giving it one star less because of the cafe/popcorn area dont know what you would call it.

I love coming here because of the pure nostalgia of watching a movie in the car. My last experience was less than desireable due to poor audio quality. However, the theatre fixed the audio and even refunded my tickets. They were very polite and understanding. Definitely going again in the future.

Such a great way to get out but still abide by social distancing standards

If you like hearing concerts blasting next to you and lights from the other screens making it impossible to see your own movie this is the place for you. But if you enjoy actually watching your movies i recommend a professional establishment.

If a drive-in movie is on your bucket list, dont wait another week! This is a true gem in the Sacramento area. Family friendly, easily accessed from Highway 50 and Bradshaw, and very friendly staff.

Perfect for social distancing and fare prices and love the place

The facility has been recently paved and looks amazing.

Always a good experience, Marissa the box office lady is always a sweet heart a fox lol good place to go to for movies, plus the nachos super are pretty bomb lmao

It was okay covid19 has made anything a little hard to enjoy Nacho supreme did not have enough meat in it but it was nice to get out

Great price, socially distant, mask-compliant snack bar & dead battery service.

It was alright the only thing is i thought there was 2 movies and there was only 1 but ofherwise everything was fine

Love the nostalgic feeling about it all. Will be back very soon. My only recommendation is you guys put fries on your menu

Best place to smoke weed and watch movies. pisses off the kevins and karens

I had a great time visiting West Wind, drive-ins are a lot of fun. I experienced a problem with disruption to the radio station while watching one movie; perhaps it was where we parked, but the station should be clear if you are in the right area. The restrooms were not very clean and the line was long to get in. Additionally, finding your way out can be a struggle. I dont know if this is the norm, but they can do better.

I will be there tomorow i hope there where be a lot of fun thing to do i have lots of fun all the time i come there

Sooooo fun. Great prices fun time. A must for the family

Great way to watch movies but can be packed and filled with “ratchet” people sometimes.

Drive in movies used to be plentiful, now there is only one so be prepared to wait behind a long line of cars and bring your own food unless you like waiting in another long line. That said I LOVED it, there is no comparison to open aired movies on a huge screen. LOVe LOVe ️️️ LOVe

Be sure to get there at least an hour early if you are going on a weekend night in summer

I love going to these drive-in the people are nice its always fun they have very great food and it brings the family together as well as lovers, thanks West Wind

For being as cheap as it is, it was fine. It was hard to see the screen at times because people drove around with their lights on. The food was ok. Also decently priced, however we waited in line for probably about 30 min waiting for food. Plus the online ordering app was not working while I was there. They really need to come up with a better system, like perhaps having multiple lines. We missed the first quarter of our movie waiting in line for popcorn. Thankfully it was a double feature.

Great family fun! Friendly, clean environment. Love this place! Take my family all the time. I mean how many drive in places are left to share with your kids and this one is amazing to boot!

Weve been coming here since the 80s and now get to share the experience with our kids.

Love coming here! Old movies playing but just getting out is absolutely great. The place is pretty cool nostalgic and the prices are great.

We enjoyed our movie and we really enjoyed the fact that security was walking around felt safe

It was really nice going to a drive in movie. I took my grandchildren who didnt even know what a drive in was and they had a blast... Bathrooms are kept up. Theres arcade games to play.. the concession staff are friendly and worked really fast so you didnt have to wait long for your food..

Because I can sit back relax and enjoy the movie and peace a great customer service

Usually the drive ins is a customer oriented business but today I witnessed them forcing a family to pick up and move so they could overcrowd a theater. Usually understandable, however, the family that was forced to move was here and set up an hour before the movie even began. They were asked to move to accommodate people coming in an hour AFTER the movie started. Thats unfair.

Love movies. Love drive insThis is a fun diversion. The last time here was actually better. This time not so much. The rules are simple. Wear masks at the snack bar. Dont shine your lights at the screen. Fair enough.My problem is the sound. Its FM broadcast. And this time it was awful. I thought it might have been my mother in laws car. But listening outside it was horrible all across the theater.If you are any kind of audiophile, dont waste your time. That expensive radio in your car will sound like junk.

Just remodeled the parking spots a lot nicer and cleaner looking

As far as drive-ins are concerned, this place is great. Just make sure to give yourself 30 minutes before the movie starts in order to pay for admission, find a spot, and get some concessions.

Still open for business. Outdoor for social distance and safety. Family friendly and watched a NEW released movie.

Weve been there four times this summer and I have to say that if you are going be at least an hour early to get a good spot if youre going on the weekend.

Finally they started showing new films we love this place.
