Blue Fox Drive-In Theatre

This is for the holiday showing of Wonka and Elf--can't speak to the summer as I haven't been at that time of year. Arrived at 4 pm for a 7 pm start as recommended on their website, which wasn't exactly necessary as we were one of the first ones there and it didn't really start filling in until 5:30/6. Might be different in the summer. Regardless, it was nice to have some time to explore the grounds which included several snack stands, a beer garden, farm animals, fire pits, an arcade, go carts, Christmas trees, and other holiday decorations. We appreciated that they rented out radios for $3 to help preserve your car battery--I've never seen this at a drive in, and for a double feature it comes in clutch. Sound quality was solid. They offered free coffee, hot chocolate, and s'mores kits which was a sweet touch that added to the experience. Loved that we were able to bring our dog too. Bathrooms were very functional and clean with many stalls (they of course get dirtier throughout the night, but that's to be expected with large groups of people and muddy grass). Snacks were reasonably priced--the regular food wasn't the best quality, but I don't think anyone is expecting gourmet at a drive-in. Shout out to the guy making the fresh donuts--worth every penny! A few areas for improvement--management needs to require dogs to be on a leash in the beer garden. They lost our business there because of another customer who refused to control their off-leash golden retriever and thought it was appropriate to make passive aggressive comments when our small dog didn't want to be constantly jumped at. Also, the 30 minutes (not an exaggeration) of previews, ads, cartoons, national anthem, and unnecessarily graphic police recruitment propaganda shown prior to the movie were excessive. Intense fog blew in about 20 mins into Elf and made it impossible to see the screen, so we called it quits and headed home. I couldn't help but think that if they had opened doors at 3, started the movies at 5 or 6 and skipped all the pre-show hoopla, we could've seen both movies and avoided that weather issue. That said, to get to see any mainstream new movie for $6.50 a person these days is insane and this was a cute winter experience, so overall worth the drive!

Having lived on the island for nearly a year, we finally made it to Blue Fox for our first time last night. I can't emphasize enough what a fun time we had!

From the outside, this business combination looks strange and random: an arcade, go karts, a drive-in, a collection of Christmas village sheds currently used as storage, and a concession stand that sells such items as the typical soda and popcorn but also fair-style curly fries, Philly cheese steaks, and even entire pizzas. From the inside, it is a carefully selected array of activities to ensure families are having fun and growing closer while they wait for it to grow dark enough for the movie to begin.

Spoke with a buddy who's been coming here for years and his tip was to spend $3 to rent a portable speaker so you don't drain your car battery while listening to audio. The speaker was plenty loud and we had no trouble starting the car at the end of both movies like some people did.

Can't wait to come back!!

What a great experience. Drive in movie theaters are the best growing up and I'm happy there's one here.
Watch one or two movies in a night at the convenience of sitting in your car.

For some it might be a walk down memory lane to see a movie on a drive in screen. I never had one nearby so it was a chance to not only see history but to experience it. Please don't let that throw you off because this place was a lot of fun! It has the movies on the big screen while also having a full ticket arcade, go karts and an modern, over 21 cinema inspired tavern!

We started off in the tavern for a drink and snack. The options are typical, mozzarella sticks, fried pickles, etc. After talking to the bartender she let us order from the main stand menu and we learned that they make a few things home made and on site. Which had me ordering the Philly Cheesesteak. Great flavor for a WA made cheesesteak but the bread was a little dry. The important part though was that is much better than what you'd get from a typical theater even though it isn't a Tony Luke's cheesesteak!

We had fun and definitely plan a trip back when it's warmer!

My husband and I drove all the way to Oak Harbor from Everett just to go to the drive in!
The entrance fee for 2 people on a Saturday night with a double feature was only $14.
They have a go cart track, an arcade , a tavern for 18+, a snack shop with all you could ever want to eat at the theater and a large clothing merchandise selection.
The employees are incredibly friendly and efficient while working at the snack shop.
This place is pet friendly, dogs must be on a leash at all times.
It's a great place to go for a fun family night and the dog can come too!
Make sure to bring some blankets and extra warm clothing because it can get chilly at night.
I love the drive in and we will most certainly be back!

Great place!!!! Prices are quite affordable. It is a fun environment with lots to do besides watch the movie. Got there early and did go-carts. They have a massive variety of food. Kids loved it. But do bring blankets as it gets chilly.

I don't even live sort of close by, but we have made the trip here the last 2 years over the summer. The most recent time, we stayed at Getaway Cabins in Mt. Vernon so we weren't too far away. They have current release movies that the kiddos want to see, lots of variety in the concessions and even if more than a few of the games in the arcade are not working, it's still alot of fun. There also also Go-Karts, but b/c the kids can't drive them yet, we usually skip it.

Def check the weather...it has been surprisingly chilly whether it's May or July so bring extra blankets and comfy pillows.

And we do try to get there at least 2 hours prior to sunset to make sure we get in. Would hate to drive all the way over and find out it's full.

Wow! I've never been to a drive in before, but this was a wonderful experience. We attended the Florida Georgia Line concert, 10pm show.

The confessions were quick and delicious (but expensive). The viewing quality was great and I highly recommend spending the $3 to rent a radio. The sound quality is wonderful. They have a great arcade too!

The no outside food/drink is strictly enforced, they drive around on a golf cart.

I cannot wait to be back and watch some movies.

How have I never taken part in a drive-in movie theater? Took the family to Blue Fox in Oak Habor on a Saturday night for a double feature, "Abominable" and "Joker". Where else can a family of 4 go see two new release movies for only $15?!? Ticket pricing is so affordable: 11yrs+ at $5.50 cash or $6 for credit card; kids 5-10yrs old was only $1(cash) or $1.50 (credit) and kids under 5 was FREE!! It was nice to have the kids watch the first showing and then for the second showing they slept in the back while hubby and I got to watch "Joker."

Our first time so we were told to go early for a good spot. To be honest, pretty much any spot is a good spot. We brought the pickup truck so we parked a few row back. If anything get there early so you can get your food before the line goes long and you end up in line instead of watching the movie. That would be the only draw back is that the line to the food got long pretty much during the whole movie time. Wish there was a quick or express lane for those who just want to order drinks or pickup some candy instead of having one line for all food and drink order. Over all the facility was clean and the staff kept the food line moving. Bathroom was clean. Some tips for if its your first time:

#1: Rent the $2 radio so your car battery doesn't get drained and you lose your sound during the movie. Its SO worth the $2 especially if you are doing the double feature. Thank goodness they had cable jumpers since our truck had to get jumped twice. Apparently that happens a lot.

#2: Parents, I know there's no food or drink policy, but I am sure they would allow you to bring pack water bottles or container. The ones they offer at the concession stand is the size of a shot glass. Unless you want to shed out $2 for a small size water bottle or for a $4 large size water bottle. Popcorn always makes my kids thirsty and I end up missing most of the movie waiting in the food line to get them water.

#3: Bring blankets/or sleeping bag, pillows, etc for when the sun sets and the cold air comes in.

Great family night watching on a big screen underneath the stars. Love seeing the big dipper and all the other constellations in the sky. Support your local drive-in theater!!

We had such an amazing family experience here! Everyone working was so friendly and helpful. While totally greasy and not at all healthy, the food tasted good and was reasonably priced. We are already looking forward to going back again! Definitely get there early because it completely fills up!
