Once the sun started going down we all went to our seats and got set up to watch the movie.
#COYOTE DRIVE IN LEWISVILLE TEXAS MOVIE#
The kids loved the playground and throwing the football before the movie started. We were able to secure the last rental radio at the bar and will definitely bring our own next time so we don't have to worry about getting one. We then ventured to the bar and were impressed by the beer selection, although I would have liked more taps, it was quite extensive.
We got nachos, pizza and sodas and they were all great. The concession line inside was gigantic and had everything you could want from a drive in, including pizza. We ventured to the pavilion and found a great spot to sit outside in the shade. There were several workers walking the lot ensuring that everyone was parking correctly and able to pack in without any issues. We were able to set up our chairs and leave them by the car without any issues. We paid and found a great spot in front of our scree with no problems. Upon pulling up about and 1 1/2 before the movie we were surprised to see that it was all ready hopping, but overly crowded. We finally had nice enough weather this weekend to see what it was all about. My family and I have been wanting to check this place out since we heard about it coming to our area. Also, it is note worthy how clean the bathrooms happened to be. Next time we decided to just go there at 6 again, get our parking spot and eat there (like get a pizza for the family) and let the kids play. We figure it will be better with little kids in the fall because it would get darker earlier. We didn't get to see our second movie because the five year old didn't make it. The food was reasonably priced (hamburger $5, chicken finger w/fries $8) and they had their system down! They had so many people on staff in the best way possible - they were getting the job done! They have beer and bottles of wine and the prices were reasonable there as well (draft Dos Equis $5 - wine based swirl margarita with "collectible glass" $9) They also had security there walking around which was nice since there were so many kids all over the place.
It had been raining off an on that day so we didn't get to see any live music but I'm sure it would have been fun. My nieces (ages 5 & 7) took off to the playground and play forever! There was corn hole set up opposite the playground and a stage where they usually play live music. I am so glad we did because by 7:30 the place was PACKED. Our movie didn't start until 8:50 PM but since we had finished with dinner early and it was our first time visiting Coyote we got there around 6:00 PM to check out everything and get a good parking spot. The ticket prices were great - $8 for adults & $6 for kids for a double feature. This place was just amazing!! I went with my brother, sister in law, and my two nieces. Good experience! Parking lot is gravel and when the wind comes up, it does blow dust around and you get kinda dusty and you don't get the benefit of A/C but, it definitely is a great family experience and worth the price for a double feature!
#COYOTE DRIVE IN LEWISVILLE TEXAS PORTABLE#
The sound for the movie wasn't a problem as many of the surrounding vehicles radio's make the audio sufficient and many people brought portable radio's. Other foods looked good but can't comment on those. The pretzels were old, dry and genuinely gross and wouldn't recommend. Typical movie snack bar fare with the added option of a bar and real food i.e. We went to the concession stand because we were denied that privilege when we were kids and get something "because we could!". We took my 1968 Chevelle here for that old time feel and it was fun! It was the opening night for The Incredibles 2 and it was BUSY to say the least! Parking is cramped and we saw 2 accidents almost immediately as the attendant was trying to get people to move closer to allow more cars and it became kind of nerve wracking.
We've been trying to get here since it opened and finally got the chance.
