I'm hooked on big screen theaters. You can see very well from Vali Hi at the way back. But if you arrive 2 hours before gates open planning to make a night of it, and park in the first 5-7 rows, you're golden! Bring any food or beverage you want, even alcohol (Just don't get drunk or you're out!). You can grill, play on the grass, walk around. It's so much fun. Key things to bringLawn chairsBUG SPRAYCoolerBlankets & Sweatshirts (no matter what the weather)A portable stereo; battery operatedThe reason you want that is you get better views outside your car and you often can't hear your own car speakers that well, so bring a radio you can set down in between your lawn chairs.
Fabulous summer evening we decided to take in an outdoor movie. This place is great for entertainment and you can even get there early and tailgate prior to the movie. Only one minor irritation was the fact I felt the intermission was a bit long being 3 movies were playing. Also the bathrooms do get crowded which perhaps is the reason for the longer intermission. I will definitely be returning for another trip.
We totally appreciate this place! We used to be lucky enough to live very close to two different drive ins & now it's just the Vali-Hi. We try to go there a few times each summer! Awesome summer family activity. :)
Excellent Value, great way to kick it old school with my kids. Hotdogs for $1.00. Bring a cooler or buy soft drinks on site.
This place is awesome! It has tons of parking spots, has great snacks (hot dogs for 1.00) and plays 3 movies for one low price! We always bring a cooler with our own drinks and sometimes bring a small grill to BBQ. The atmosphere is fun and kids love it!
Always fun loading up the car with chairs, blankets, and bug spray. Sitting outside watching up to 3 movies!! Great times!! Can even grill before the movie!
Love the drive in. We grew up calling them the "outdoor". It's fun to go and watch movies with the kids. And the price is very affordable.
it's been a while since I visited a drivein. could not believe how it took me back to the 80's! I however did not feel like I fit in... it was sort of scary and I had no idea how early I would have to arrive in order to get a decent spot..
Nastalgia, it's a great place to go with kids or with friends. You can cook out and play ball before hand. One is closing sadly.
I believe Vali-Hi is now the last drive in theater left in the Twin Cities. For those of us who grew up going to drive ins, its still fun to spend the night watching three movies while eating greasy popcorn. This theater is right off of 94 in Woodbury so very easy to get to from anywhere in the Cities.
