Can I bring my pets?

As of 4/9/2021 we will be allowing friendly dogs to join you at the movies (pets are not allowed at the flea market)! Please abide by the following guidelines so that we can continue to allow our furry friends:

*Please keep your pup leashed and under control at all times.

*You may be asked to leave if your dog barks or disrupts the movie.

*Please clean up after your dog. If you need another bag, feel free to ask someone at the snack bar (or bring your own).

*We can only allow your dog to be either in your car or hanging out with you directly in front of your car (if you are sitting in chairs).

*Please do not walk your dog around the property.

We hope to be able to allow dogs at our drive-in long term. Please by mindful of these guidelines. Pets are not allowed at the flea market.
