Reviews of Brackley Drive In (Car Concessionaire)

Tina Bobina

One of PEI's staple Summer businesses, always a huge recommendation for locals or anyone visiting. The pricing here is too good not to go!

Sandra Aguila

So glad this is still available on PEI! Order online and pick up at the side window, so easy!

Maurice Sigouin

Lots of room! Popcorn was great. I was a little concerned about leaving the car radio on for so long but it wasn't an issue.

Jessie Toyota

Wonderful drive-in experience. Friendly staff, decent food, and lots of nostalgia.

William Calhoun

The best drivin experience. One of the last ones left in Canada and they do a great job. A++

Jessica Dickie

We love the drive-in! So fun and retro and the popcorn is delish and affordable!

Angela Price

We go every summer when we visit the island. Fun place to take the kids

Kevin Jack

Two Screens for Older and Younger Audiences, Good value for your money, Lots of room

Kuro Xiao

Awesome theater outdoors. Biggest Screen. Cheap concessions and the price of Entry is 2 for 1. Only downside is Cash Only for Entry.

Blair T Sawler

Great job on Covid changes. Always a must do in PEI

Tracey G

Fun night. I hope to get out again before it closes

Yves Arsenault

Very nice spot... charming little canteen, friendly staff great quality video. A great night out.

Melissa Macdonald

Been going here since I was a little girl ,now I take my kids there. One of our favorite summer activitys!

Scott de Koning

Probably one of the best movie watching experiences I've had in a long time. Here's some tips. Bring mesh that you can get at the dollar store with some fridge magnets. Cut the mesh and stick it to your vehicle. Also make sure you bring blankets to cover both headlights and tail lights.

Bob Hainer

Great place to enjoy movies on the big screen

michelle cronk

Such a great drive-in. Complete with all the bells and whistles of a retro drive-in. Perfect for families. Clean restrooms & reasonable prices.

Jayden Morrison

The owner owns the eastlink center canteen too he's super nice and looks after the place

M

My first time ever experiencing a drive-in theatre and it was awesome. It was so much fun. The service was amazing, snacks were good. Such a great experience.

Jonathan Henderson

Lots of fun, cash only at the gate but otherwise a great spot.

Randy Enman

Love going here. Wish they would spray the property for mosquitos though

Chris Lee

Fun for the family! Gotta check out the website to see what is playing and the times of course, and there's a $1 coupon right on their website! Bright and clear picture with awesome sound quality. Even an area at front for picnic blankets and chairs. It does get buggy so bring the bug spray! Concession booth is great and inexpensive. There's even a small play structure of to the side for the kids. We will be back again for sure!

Bob Donnelly

It was perfect until the mosquitos took over after dark. Good value though. Reasonable prices on the concessions and a great value on "Carload Night" paying just $35 for the carload. Good movies to choose from. I Really enjoy this place.

Rebecca Dewey

Super clean and wonderful experience:) Staff was kind. Definitely worth the entertainment

Logan MacKinnon

Great experience and value for what you pay (admission includes drink), plus great food options for reasonable prices. Just go a bit early for a better parking spot!

Dylan Vokey

A fantastic way to spend time with friends and family. The best experiences are had when you dont take your phones.

Tommy Briand

Great place to go for a night out with family friends or your loved one. Popcorn Chicken is amazing.

Shane McQueen

I visited the island a year ago and this was one of the places we visited. I will definitely be back here next year. The only complaint was finding the place. We had a bit of trouble as the google map kinda steered us somewhere else. But we made it and had a great time. Nothing like a movie under the stars. Especially the way the sky appears on the island as there is no light pollution. Don't forget to look up between films.

Terry MacDonald

Love this place. Live in California and usually go to the island, at least once a year to visit my great- great grandfathers grave site. Always go to the drive in.

Tania Knockwood

My favourite place to be since me and my husband had our first date there in July of 2002.

Rohan Pathak

Nice place but take bug protection and use online promotion to get discount. Go early to find a nice spot to ur liking. Free soft drinks too

Tanya Lynch

Great experience. 1st time we went loved the experience and can't beat the double feature and full car load prices

mickel smith

Went on the last day and it was awesome. For the price, it's the best deal to see a couple new movies with the family.

Chris Thomas

A place to relax and enjoy movies

Trent Fullarton

So awesome to still have the experience of going to a drive in. Some things should never die.

Daniel Beals

Was there for the first time last year and loved it! Great atmosphere and service at the concessions booth. Watched the "It" remake and Annabelle part 2 as a double feature for something like $11.75 each and the tickets came with a free large pop!

Steve Outhouse

Kids enjoyed checking this off their bucket list. Their website is very helpful to make sure you come prepared.

Imran Sheikh

Great. Lots of bugs. Buy a bug screen and some magnets to keep your window open.

Julie Sheppard

The drive in is classic! So much fun! The owners are amazing as well.

David Hudson

Well organized, very clear audio and video. Looking forward to coming back next year.

Mike Frysinger

Great place to grab a movie or two before parking your car/RV in the back and sleeping for the night for free (just let the staff know at the front gate when buying tickets). The bathrooms stay unlocked so you can use them in the night/morning. Screen and audio are decent, and prices (tickets and concessions) are still affordable. There are a lot of mosquitos, so bring bug spray and use nets on the windows so you can get cool air flow.

A Bateman

This is a genuine drive-in experience. Big classic screen, as good as it gets greasy snacks all in the middle of nowhere practically. The attendants are friendly. The audio comes through the car stereo so watching two 1.5+ hour movies might be hard on the battery but the staff are there to offer booster packs midway through if you need one.

Morgan Jackson

Really neat spot and only drive-in on Pei and of very few left period. They added a second screen to the facility also which was a cool add-on.Fun atmosphere.Pretty great overall.

Draper Bulger

I love this place, so much! Great fun for the whole family! It is definitely a place that you should visit!

Deborah Smith

Lil screen is awful needs to be bigger

The Wizard (Archea)

Awesome old style slice of heaven on a warm night. Double features are a real cheap treat

Brad Campbell

Always a fun experience, great food in the canteen, and good seating either outside or in the car. Canteen food is good, and bring bug spray!!

Sargent Surge

Very nice set up during Covid times. Simple and easy, lots more personal space and i actually enjoy it more than the regular before covid routine

Frank Macfadyen

Amazing place!!!!! Drive ins are closing all around canada and i am so grateful this one is still running as well as thousands of others

Angela Harding

The drive in was perfect I cannot say enough about the movie.. We evening seen a shooting star so yes I wanna go again with my family...

Dave Summerfield

We attended the Halloween Trunk or Treat event and had a wonderful time. Our 3 year old thought it was the greatest thing ever. It's nice to be able to go to a drive in in this day and age. It's like stepping back in time and is always fun.

Phoebe Paul

My favorite spot to catch a movie on the island. A great price for a double bill, and the experience is just awesome.

Chris S

Reminder: Cash at the gate, debit at the canteen! A unique and fun experience for anybody. Enjoy great movies from the comfort of your car or if they suck chat it up / make fun of subpar films without annoying anyone. Single folk, couples and families can enjoy two movies for the price of one (~$11 for adults, $7 for kids, free under 5) plus enjoy a real value at the canteen (think 30% savings vs the big chain theaters). This atmospheric experience is highly recommended.

arjan heijs

Great prices and an amazing experience, 10/10 will be back. Small tip, go at the later shows, when the sun is up it makes it hard to see the show.

The Rev. Stratton Phillips

Great drive-in. Staff is friendly and the snack food is delicious. Lots of parking but come a little early as the place can fill up very quickly in the summer months. Almost always a double bill!! Very fun atmosphere - loved it.

Qwazyd0gg

Entrance is CASH ONLY; however, they have debit inside for concession. Screen is pretty dated but it has such a great retro and nostalgic feel that you won't notice. Ample parking and concession has a large variety of snacks, sweets, ice cream, and full meals.

Jenny Hood

Great place to have a good time! Especially getting to watch 2 or 3 movies for the price of one!

Manmeet Gill

It was really nice, u just drive up match radio channel and enjoy, moreover they got snacks at night show which is great, definitely give a try to chees sticks

Eric Mars

Always fun to go there. All summer long. 2 screens latest upcoming movies playing

Steven Wlson

Truly a unique experience. A drive in surrounded by forest and staffed by friendly people. It was a great night and I will definitely be back!

James Waugh

Staff are very friendly and grounds are clean.

Braeden Ross

Place was ok. Dont be tall and be in the back seat of a Nissan Santra or you will struggle with seeing the movie

Stephen Cheng

Lovely drive in theatre. Went to support it after hearing on CBC about how Disney makes small theatres play the same movie for weeks, which doesn't make sense in a one screen, small town cinema. Heed the number one tip from Brackley's FAQ - bring skeeter spray! We ignored it and got bitten alive. Still I would go again if I find myself in PEI again.

Ryan MacIsaac

Definitely one of the funnest things to do if you visit the Island. Bring a giant bottle of bug spray if you plan to do anything outside or with the windows down!

R. C.

This was my first time going to a drive in. It was easy to get in. It was organized and well run. It has a good canteen with lots of variety, you can get small meals there. It is worth a trip.

Ranjit Chatterjee

Good place to be. We enjoyed the car show. Especially Bill Faulkner's cars.

over 9000

Awesome as always. Great prices good food. Friendly staff and clean. But. Mosquitos could carry you away.

Denise Bruce Of Ingleside

Wonderful evening with my kids ...always a good time at the drive-in ❤

Peter D

Brackley Drive In is always a great family outing or date location. Tickets and snacks are very affordable, and the staff are super friendly. As an added bonus, they are putting in a second screen this summer! I highly recommend them as an alternative to the normal cinema.

Mitchell MacEachern

Always a great time, cheap outing. Second screen is a welcome addition

Cindy Harcourt

Great movie atmosphere, good screen (1) . Loved you could order the food online and they texted you when it was complete but still had to wait nearly 10 minutes after that the get it and it was cold and incorrect - no cheese on burger, no gravy on fires, missed a food item entirely. This was our first time here and we ordered 1/2 before movie started. The food stand was packed and lined so I am going to chalk it up to this our first time here and will try to order another time.

Jay Jay

Wow First drive in in a long time

Natasha Kohoot

I had lots of fun! Great family outing a bit of a drive but that's expected. Definitely should try for the experience if you have never been to one before!

Joy Jarvis

So much fun! This was a last minute decision and was so nice after not having been to a theatre for a long time. Very well laid out and easy to find and use. They were running a little late but not a big deal at all.

Elizabeth Campbell

We love the Brackley drive in. Lots of times they will play a kids movie and then a movie that's more for older kids or adults. It works out so well for us because we try to get there when the gate opens so our kid can run around and play before the first movie starts. There is a little playground set up. Then by the time the first movie is over our kid is usually asleep. It's also ok to bring the dog as long as it's leashed. I find it cheaper than going to the theater, you get to see two or sometimes three movies and I don't need to worry about my young kid bugging people who are also trying to watch a movie.

Hina Why

Great price for two movies. Snacks and drinks were affordable. Absolutely loved it!

Stephanie Z

So cute loved it, food was reasonably priced and so was the entrance fee. A lot of trucks with lift kits making it impossible for smaller cars to see around them. Maybe think about making large vehicles go to the back? Just a thought.

Ethan Craig

If you're planning a trip to PEI, you have to spend at least one night at this incredible place. The Brackley Drive-in is fantastic, with incredible management and a 1950s vibe, it's perfect for families, couples, individuals - everyone!

Christopher Martin

This place is classic and will always be awesome. I hope it will be around for my kids

Jhoyce Oril

Gives you that retro feels. I just hoped that they start the movie a little earlier than 930pm. They charge 11.50cad per adult and 7cad for kids. Includes free coke. Has pretzels, hotdogs, popcorn and candies for sale at the canteen. Reasonably priced.

Jim Streb

A great drive-in experience. It's a bit of a drive from town, so plan accordingly. But it brought back memories of the 50's and 60's. A fun family experience.

Power Button Media

Authentic retro style drive in movie theatre! The screen is large and in great shape. It is locally owned and operated. They play first run Hollywood block busters, typically two shows a night for a great low price! I've been coming here a long time and will continue taking my kids a couple times per year. Often they have a triple bill on long weekends with three movies in one night! Canteen on site is good food at decent prices. They even have RV vehicle parking spots in the back row!

Shane Graves

The drive in is great, always have a good time. There's always one person who can't seem to figure out their car works with headlights and or alarm

Lee Hammond

Fantastic time! And they are expending too so they will have 2 screens playing and twice the cars!

Brenda Turple

Locally our drive in in Pictou County closed a few years ago. It was so nice to be on vacation at be able to experience the drive in again at Brackly. The old cars there are beautiful as well.

Dustin Gillett

Every time I go to PEI I make it a point to stop here (provided it's showing a movie I want to see). They usually try and pair a family friendly movie for the first showing with a more adult one for the second showing. The snacks are good, a bit expensive but that's kind of expected. It's nice that admission comes with a free drink. They really make an effort to have that 50's-60's feel. I really enjoy and appreciate the vintage ads for the concession stand before the movies.

Zoey Vessey

It is very fun to see movies there with the retro style canteen, but there are many mosquitos at night

Jeremy Johnston

Screen is great, projector is great, movie selections are great, facility is good, concessions are not great. Arrive early and bring your own food for the best experience!

Judicious Jazz

Ive been to multiple drive ins across Canada and this will always be my #1 choice! Rad atmosphere and welcoming environment. Canteen is a bit pricey but less than the cinemas so I find it worth it + the staff is always great to deal with.

Keyur Patel (Q)

Good classic fun night out for the family or on a date the with special someone.

simon tousignant

Good price, snacks not too pricy. 2 movies for 1 if you can stand to stay up that late.

Wayne Gallant

We have been attending the Drive-in with our children every year, for the last 10+, years when we are in P.E.I. It's always a great time.

Gordon Veitch

I love the drive In! A great family spot to catch a movie in the summer. Its grounds are clean, there is plenty of parking if you get there early, it does fill up quick on a good night. Take your own snacks though if you can as the Canteen is on the pricey side. Although the ticket prices are great as you get two movies for the price of one! There is even a front lawn with outside speakers so you can lay out a blanket and spread out. Giving the kids a chance to stretch and talk, you cant' get that in the cinemas. The bathrooms could use a remodel. Other than that its a great experience and I go often.

Steven Harris

Still the best place to go for a movie in your own comfort zone I've been going since 1989

Jordan Grove

Great place to see a movie. Not to many drive in theaters left.

Ray Engram

Great spot to park and watch a movie. Even has parking for our RV. Can borrow a radio if need and their sound system is nice enough to just sit outside and watch the movie.

Kris Brown

Super fun. Had a great time. Nice staff and good facilities.

Bill Hoffman

30 years ago my wife and I attended the drive-in. It reminded us of the drive-ins we went to while dating in New Jersey. It was wonderful

William Forsyth

Great place to watch a movie.

Bonnie Richards

Was there for the car show. Will go again. The food at the canteen wasn't the best but I can live with that.

Park fish

Great prices, wish they would get some mosquito mangement sometime tho

Matt Mamye

Every time I go to the drive in, it's a great experience. Great pricing on admission and snacks.

Jillian Rae

Worst customer service experience, especially in a time when you want people to support local. If you are going to use your venue to screen the local film fest, then you should open the canteen as this would be added revenue for your business, or at least give the film fest staff the proper information that the canteen opens when the screen 2 movie starts, so they can tell people the proper event information. Went to try and get a drink and was mocked by the teen behind the counter, as they quote "ain't open" said with a smirk, and then to drive by and sneer and laugh at people while they are talking to someone in charge... Disgraceful. Aside from the attitude, the different stories from the staff about when the snack bar would open was entirely frustrating, in 30 minutes, in 5 minutes, when the other show starts... If you are going to screen a movie, then open the canteen a little earlier than usual hours. Then, expecting people to pay full admission for 1 show when the patrons got 2 shows for that price on the other screen.... Does that make sense? Used to look forward to nights at the drive in...

Jade Ember

The brackley drive in is such a wonderful place to spend a night out. It now has 2 big screens so double the movies and more parking. Definitely reccomend going!

Nick Pizza

Best drive in ever! The staff, the set up, the food the service. All top notch. You can even sleep over night in your car. This is the best place. Must go. AND they show new movies. And a lot of the times you get two movies for the price of one. Much better than any Cineplex Odeon I've ever been to. Thanks Brackley Drive-in staff!

Karl

This place is a fantastic little gem. Good movies, charming little concession stand, and retro 50s decor around the screen. Seems like a real community event as well. Arrive early for the best spot, and be sure to bring absolutely everything you can think of to mitigate bug bites (spray, netting, citronella, etc.). The mosquitoes are downright nasty around dusk. You'll certainly get a kick out of people soaking themselves (and their children/car windows/air mattresses/clothing) in deet.

Kyle Nobles

Great retro feel to it and 11 per person for 2 movies is a great deal

Jennifer Salutari

Best place ever! The movie grounds are properly sloped so being in the back is not a problem. Canteen has great food (onion rings AND cheese sticks to name a few) and the staff are super friendly. Visiting fromVancouver Island and the experience was definitely amazing, miss drive-ins, the locals are super lucky to have this gem!

mark beaudry

Good place to bring the kids and watch movies at a good price ,very nostalgic

Kreedan W

My husband and i just rediscovered the drive in! We love it, and brackley is awesome. Their ice cream poutine is out of this world!

bryan cook

Owner was fantastic when our battery died. And you can stay overnight for free if you see the movie the night before. Clean washrooms and great deal for tickets and a drink included.

Joanne Chaisson

Only remaining drive in on the island. Fun an unique way to watch a movie . Current movies in a retro setting

Steve Muise

A nice summer alternative to a cinema.

Gord Mullins

we ( my family) love the drive-in !!great price great time but people need to be more respectful when there keeping their lights off !!! some turn them on just to annoy .but what can you do

Alyson Arsenault

Such an amazing experience for every age! Super friendly staff, great canteen menu, I've been going for 5 years now and have only had one negative experience where someone parked so close to me I couldn't even get out of my car but other than that 1/50 experience it's truly one of my favorite places in the summer ????

Julien R.

I've had many experiences in Québec drive-in movies (ciné-parc Mathers)... but this night, watching Lion King remake in this retro décor made it all very unique and special! Must try if there's an opportunity especially for tourists!!!

barry austin

I have been going to drive in movies for almost 30 years. I have been to 3 different drive in movies theatres and never have i ever been so disappointed in how a drive in movie business was operated. My Car has rope lights that do not turn off they are like running lights. I could not get them turned off they where not reflecting on the screen only on the ground. yet we have so many employees come to complain to the point i had to turn off my car and missed 45 min of the movie since there back up speaker where no good at all. coming from out of province i was not going to buy a back up radio for one night. this problem could be taken care of if you make you parking lot better for parking. AND IF YOU DONT WANT CAR LIGHTS ON LET CUSTOMERS BORROW A RADIO. there are so many other ways of fixing the problem then having people come by and want you to play with setting on your car and making someone miss 45 min of a movie. GO AND TAKE A LISTEN FROM THE 5 DRIVE IN in Ontairo who owns 5 drive in and been in business a lot longer.

Kieran Hayde

First drive in experience and loved it. The mosquitos will ravage you so be prepared, but it’s a great spot all the same. We asked to camp overnight (sleeping in our van) and could do so at no extra cost. We woke up with the whole place to ourselves

Shannon LaBobe

Love they have 2 screens now an always fun at the drive in

Laura Chaisson

Love the atmosphere. Amazing owners. Highly recommend people to go to the brackley drive in .

Oaki Rose

Old school drive in? Yes Come back again? Oh yes

Mike McK

It's a nice drive Inn. Great experience. Clean property. Be sure to have a plan to deal with mosquitoes, spray, nets on windows, or they will drive you out. We go once a week when on PEI.

Steve Ranni

What a great experience. If ever in the area it's worth the evening out. Great prices and service.

Michael Delaney

First time at the drive-in! Lots of mosquitoes but overall experience was fun.

Barbara Smith

Awesome family and pet friendly place to go!

Miranda V.d Hoven

Great place to see a movie. We love going there

Jamie Wicks

Fantastic place to go! Double feature for only $12.00 (which includes a free drink). Food is really well priced. Movie quality is great.

Dean Robertson

Fun night out - wasn't too busy on a Friday night. A lot of options at the concession. Family had fun.

Brandon Golding

This place is adorable. There's room in front of the cars closer to the screen for people to take chairs and watch from there. We watched 2 movies and it came out to around $8 a person!

Brandon Gallant

The Brackley Drive-In is always one of my favourite parts of summer. My wife and I try to attend several times each year. The food is great and the movie pairings have been phenomenal lately.

Steven Buell

Was there sunday the 12th for a car show. There was a lot of amazing cars , trucks to view . Spent a couple of hours there , what a great venue there was live music and even seen some cool lawnmowers can't wait till the next show.

chris weeks

Great spot love the retro feel and music

Anna Vail

Such a fun experience every time. Great movies every weekend (and events in-between!) Great staff, delicious food. I've been going since I was a kid.

Latasha Keddy

Love it! We always have so much fun. Grounds are kept clean. Canteen and washrooms are clean. And they have great COVID standards set in place.

Amber D MacLean

The kids had so much fun!

Bryan Shields

Awesome experience to share with the new generation. Took in a double feature with ages ranging from a few months to many moons and everyone was pleased. All amenities were on site and the staff were very professional. A superb night out at a steal of a price

Samantha LeBreton

Love coming here every summer such a wonderful place always look forward to coming !!

Darrell Collicutt

Nice experience for the kids been years since the princess pat drive in closed down in cascumpec p.e i it would be nice to have more of them

Robin Gazaille

Nice drive In with an old timey decor. Staff is very nice. Beware of the mosquitoes though.
