  My husband says this is the best thing since sliced bread and biscuits. Lol. But honestly we really enjoy going here. The price can't be beat and neither can the food. Seriously, its delicious! Such a great family atmosphere but also a great place for a date! We love supporting a family owned small business instead of paying an arm and a leg for the big theater monopoly in charlottesville. This is well worth the drive. Definitely follow them on facebook to keep up with the coming attractions. #weGDIT

  This place is awesome. I old enough to remember the drive in in eastern henrico and this is so much better. Play area for kids and then another play area for older kids to just old kids, you know who I'm talking about. Reasonable snack shack pricing and good foods, they have a few picnic tables. If you go take comfortable chairs, if you have little kids throw blankets and pillow in back of SUV or truck for them to chill in. Bring a bungee if you have a SUV or they come around and will tie down your hatch with roof level to help all viewers. The picture clarity is GREAT! Enjoy with your Family, we have been probably 5 times with our kids and going again to see Fire rescue.

  What an exciting outing for the whole family. This place is located in the midst of trees, just off I-64, about 25 minutes from Richmond/Midlothian/Glen Allen. They play the latest movies that are just out in regular theaters. Mostly the ones that can be watched with the whole family. It open up about 2 hours before the show starts so people start trickling in, picking up spots with the best views (there's no shortage of those), kids play in the nice moderate-sized play area or just in the lot with their siblings, friends and parents. Every day is a mini-festival. The movie itself starts just after dark and their projection is at par with any theater in town, if not bigger and better. Many a weekend, they have double specials where they show two films back to back with an intermission in-between. The food stall is at the back with lots of items to choose form. Prices are extremely reasonable (nothing over $3.50) and that's what they depend on for their income so I would encourage people to shop there to show their support. Plus, the kids love it too. A word of caution: even on what may be predicted as a warm evening, it can get a bit chilly and windy so bring your jackets or small blankets. Plan on staying till late. A mini-van, with the last row of seats removed and replaced by a mattress is the best way to go with little ones. If you're in the greater Richmond area and you haven't been to the Goochland Drive-in, you're missing out bit time.

  Came out on Saturday night November 8th to see Big Hero 6. My family and I drove 1 1/2 hours to get to Goochland. It was a beautiful night though it was very chilly. John and his staff we absolutely wonderful and the concession staff was faced with a much larger crowd than they expected and yet they worked quickly to to take care of all customers and did so with smiles on their faces. Had to get my Gooch Dog finally (had 3 actually) and then got to sit back and watch a great movie. Really enjoy all the old commercials that John asy at the beginning of the night. A drive-in is the only way to enjoy a movie and Goochland does a great job of making it a memorable experience. Can't wait to go back again.

  Absolutely love going to this drive-in. I grew up going to the drive-in and didn't realize they still existed until I discovered GDIT a couple of years ago. My 13 year old son loves it, esp. the Gooch dogs! Thank goodness that smokers have a designated section; if not, asthmatics and people like me who get migraines from cigarette smoke would not be able to enjoy the fun. Sounds like the snot who wrote that review needs to go back to their mansion and watch Redbox. Always friendly workers and polite people all around.

  Take a lawn chair and a blanket and sit back and enjoy the movies. Two are shown each evening. The playground is fun for kids before and in between events. Bathrooms are close by. You won't be disappointed.

  We absolutely LOVE going to Goochland Drive-In Theater. They have a great family atmosphere, show first run movies, and have a great snack bar. It is also very affordable. I would recommend that everyone try this at least once!

  We have been coming to this drive-in since the first night it opened in 2009. Each year John has grown in a positive way. John makes sure to walk around and welcome everyone that visits whether it's their first visit or they are regular customers. The food is extremely reasonable and in no way is another overpriced. Even the double feature is less than $10 per adult. In addition to spending some great quality time with your children, you are able to enjoy meeting those that you have never know, create new friendships and feel a real close sense of an old fashioned community.Even when the weather dips, John and his staff are working the movies each weekend until mid November. The staff is extremely welcoming and caring. You feel like you are part of the family when visiting the Goochland Drive In, a place that no one is a stranger!

  To: the lady in Richmond, VA who wrote "not a family friendly night out" with the 1 star review. I was parked right next to you when you pulled in your Jeep and your Jeep sat more than 3 inches taller than my Chrysler minivan. You complained about my roof rack obstructing people's view (which by the way if it was I could have lowered it). I was offended by the way you talked to the gentleman that was working that evening and the language you used in front of not only my children but your own. He never "bullied" you, he simply asked you to move back a couple of spaces so others could see. By the way there is a huge hill toward the back you could have parked on and never had an obstructed view. You asked for a refund and he told you that they would be happy to give you one at the gate. To everyone looking for feedback, My family has been 4 times already this year and we ENJOY every second that we're there. The staff is so friendly and we have NEVER had a bad experience. My boys love the play ground and the concession stand has awesome food for great prices. We love it and will continue to go!!! We get there really early and play cards, Yahtzee, we've even brought our corn hole game and played a few rounds. AWESOME time is always had by my family!!! LOVE IT!!
