zhiyi zhao

not to bad but the sound a little be small,not good for me.also not quit for here ,some people always talk to he family????????????for Adult $12each people. Movie will be start around 9:20pm.

Megan Bradshaw

Great place! Friendly staff, excellent customer service, been going there as a child and it's our favorite thing to do over the summer months. Can get wet and sloppy during their opening season but other than that it's a perfect family atmosphere!

Erin Yo

Have been coming here since I was a kid and now with my own kids. Staff are friendly and quick, prices are great, cash only for admission and concessions. Building is dated but its been around for 40 years, hope it stays for 40 more!

Amber Shedden

This place is amazing; the movies look good and parking is plentiful. Snacks are cheap and the hot food is not only amazing value but delicious! I only wish my kids would sit through even one full movie without fighting lol

Michelle Smith

Love it here. Always a good time. They could switch the movies up a bit more but we'll live. Great family night out.

Max Power

Love the drive in. Can't wait till it opens again. It's only a slight inconvenience to have to pay cash, Same with the rough roads or paths...could use some leveling or stone in the potholes, but it's just something you live with. It probably helps keep the kids speeds down too that can be a little reckless. Prices are good considering you're seeing 2 (or more) movies, although it's not often that 2 moves we want to see are playing on the same screen. We often just stay for the first and then leave, but we never feel ripped off. The owner seems to be genuine and appreciates his customers based on a couple interactions that I've had or friends have had with him, just about small issues. We were never blown off or disrespected, and that professionalism and treatment doesn't go unnoticed. Will definitely be returning as a happy customer

Chris Hanlon (Arbalister)

I've always loved the drive in, and this place really hasn't changed in more than 30 years. It's a fun night out.

Tammy Peters

We had a blast. The food was amazingly priced and the kids loved the movie .... win win for this mom!

Yvonne Bruggemann

Love coming here. Old school. Good popcorn and concession deals too. Just wish there was an option for refund if it starts raining hard before the first movie starts. Remember bug spray for mosquitos and a blanket/rain poncho incase it gets cold or rains and if your in an open hatchback or truck or windows open (would be cool if they sold bug spray or some kind of blanket or thermal tarp for ppl who forget lol). Make sure you bring cash. No debit at front gate and Sometimes atm inside concessiok building doesnt work or runs out of cash.

Kevin Black

It achieves its purpose but could do a lot more to upgrade and attract more: redo the ramparts and sod between parking spots, redo the gravel lane ways, maybe spiff up the poles, put in a modern playground, clean up and freshen up the bathrooms with taps that work and brighter lighting over the toilets themselves, and enhance the menu on the concession.

David Angle

Classic Drive In. Great for the family. Audio and video quality was good. No concessions due to pandemic but nice to be able to come here again!

Waxing Sustainable

My family of six loves going here. Where else can all of us see a newly released movie for $15? Our little ones always look forward to the drive in on summer nights. Great food, too! Love the deep fried pickles.

Acid XXX (Acid)

I love this place

Matt Johnston

Loved it, will go back again, easily. I just wish they still had the speaker boxes, would've saved me from having to get a boost xD

Bree O

This is a great local drive-in. There are four screens which all play different genres of movies. For the cheap price of $12/ticket you get two movies which is such a good deal. The building has a really nice set up compared to other drive-ins that I have been to. There are a tonne of washroom stalls (which aren't gross). There is also a grill with typical movie food indulgences as well as popcorn for a reasonable price. Covid-19 guidelines are followed inside the building. They have set up a one way arrow system for ordering food and have spots to stand in. There is sanitizer available inside as well. The quality of the movie was great. No issues or fuzzy screen moments. Each screen has a lot of parking spots to allow for everyone to watch movies while social distancing.

April Houghton

I love the drive-in experience. Have went here for many years and love it! What an awesome time!

Dan Doctor

Excellent quality food. Human prices. Support your drive-in and buy from there. Great for families or couples on a date. We went as a group of friends and had a great time. Bathrooms need improvement.... or napalm.... yeah... napalm would be ok too

Wahid Nemat

Bring lots of snacks and enjoy your 2 movies, don't for get your mosquitoes repellant and your lawn chairs.

Amanda Nothanks

The bathroom line was a big damn problem during intermission but that's to be expected during these wild times. Movie was good. Parking was good. Leaving wasn't a hassle. Concession prices are reasonable for a movie theater. Will go again.

Cyndi Wong Lorenzo

3 movie screens to choose and you can watch 2 movies. $12 an adult. Nice to be outdoors, lots of spots and bring your lawn chairs. There is a building where you can purchase snacks and restrooms. Place could use some updates.

Matt Cary

Reasonably priced, and their covid restrictions are clear and easy to follow. Nice to be seeing movies on the big screen again!

Robert Teodorini

Doesn't match a real theater, but during a pandemic, it seems to be the best option.

Klapaucius

I love this place. My family really enjoys coming here to watch a couple of movies. The popcorn is delicious and the staff is very friendly. I've never had a bad experience here, even on opening weekends of big movies when it is very busy. This place is an absolute must for anybody with younger children. They don't have to sit in a movie seat for a couple of hours, they can move around, play and not bother anyone.

༒ΞXILΞ༒

Been going alot this year. Food is standard but decent rates. Quality of movies are good. Heard that this will be the last year as it has been sold

Carolynn Scandrett

Love this place! It has four screens and is $12/person for a minimum of a double header. Staff are friendly and try to get you in and out of the snack bar quickly so you don't miss any of your movie. It is cash only. View of the beautiful sunset before the movie!

Burke Bridgeman

Great picture, and movie. Also, the food is good too. However, the only down side was the audio, it was okay but not great. All in all I would definitely go and enjoy a movie.

Sam McNevin

Love going to the Can - View Drive - In great night out for all ages! The staff are so nice here, really polite kids. The snacks are also great, unfortunately the snack bar is not open at this time due to the pandemic right now. And I always love how they have the old nostalgic snack video play at the intermition, always makes me smile.

Shawn Turcotte

We enjoyed our movie night and enjoyed some of the offerings from the snack bar. It just doesn't feel like summer without coming to the Drive-in a couple of times.

Adam Pellegrino

Always a good time at the drive inn. They match up the movies on each screen fairly well. I try to go as much as I can ! The prices in the snack shop are fantastic compared to Cineplex

Evan Whitfield

Has been a family event to go here very often, has been around for many many years and most fathers or mothers may have worked here back in the day, it was and still is my most preferred way to watch a movie. Food is cheap and high quality.

Lenny Burch

The Canview Drive-In has been a long time favorite. I have been going here since I was a child. With 4 screens to choose from, and the incredible price of 2 movies for $12 per person, it is amazing. The concession stand is huge and offers food, snacks and drinks. The bathrooms are clean. And the staff is always incredibly friendly. Bring cash though, no debit or credit card. I highly recommend making the Canview Drive-In a once a week thing!

Howard Laviolette

Awesome family or friends place to hang out .for now bring your own snacks but washrooms are open and they have water .thursday night is only 18 a car load so bring on the bus .

Mary Ismail

I absolutely LOVE coming to this drive-in whenever I can! The box office staff are kind and somehow have made everytime I come a personable experience. Movies change every week so it's easy to come for one set of movies and then change it up the next week for other movies!

Kimberly Boland

Drive in is always a fun night! Very affordable, great food and great location!

Brie McNutt

Always a great time. Great snacks, the grounds are always kept clean. Bathrooms are always clean. We go 3-4 time a summer.

Dylan Moffat

Coming from a small town I love this place, our drive in only had one screen and one option. Also, Cathy is really good at her job.

Michelle Hewson

A great spot for fun with the family. 4 screens and plenty of movie options to watch.

Amy Willett

Love going to the drive in!! It was really muddy because it rained a few days before. A suggestion would be to put down cement or stones all over to avoid the mess instead of the grass. Lots of bugs

Tyler Neal

LOVE THIS PLACE! Its nice to have a local Drive-In! There is not many of them around anymore. Prices are amazing! You basically pay the same as you would at a movie theatre.. but you get to see TWO movies! instead of just one!

Sarah Kellaway

Always an amazing experience, so family oriented, one of the few places were children are playing instead of looking at their phones

Brenda Webb

Love the atmosphere, the whole experience is what memories are made from. Been going to the drive in since I was a kid and now I bring my own kids there. The food is amazing and a great deal! The movie quality is also fantastic!

Sarah Cudney

Great car price, excellent food prices for a movie theater, fun times!! Maybe test your new car/suv car radio to make sure it stays on longer than 5 minutes after turning the car "off" before parking at the drive-in... or bring a cheap portable radio. ????

Chris Lagesten

Nothing beats a drive-in movie on a warm summer night! The snack bar at Can-view is on point as well! Alot of decent food and snacks at really great prices! Oh and if your battery dies... just ask and they will give you a boost!

Mark Forrester

Great. I'm in holiday Inn Canada from Scotland and the is nothing like the back home, great fun.

Denise Pouliot

it was very muddy when i was there because of all the rain. The same "everything" for many years but always great to watch from the comfort of your vehicle

Rhonda Rivers

Always has good movies. Sometimes hard to choose what to go see as they have great selection. Staff are always pleasant! Love going there when they are open

Reaganne Schuchard

A wonderful piece of local history. Always a great night out!

Fred Greenwood

This place is cash only. But they do have a ATM inside. The concessions are very reasonable compared to the regular movies.

Dallas Sanders

Two movies for one price? How awesome is that? It is a drive in so weather place a role. Check it before going. The experience brings me back to my youth.

Jake Caputo

Been going here since i was a kid. 4 screens large parking area. Not much of an incline so be sure to park accordingly. Food great the poutine is a personal favorite. The entire property is cash only there is an atm inside the concession building.

Doug

Although the build is a little run down, the family and I have always had a great time watching movies here. Such a better deal then going to a theatre. Never had a bad experience so far.

Tanya Richard

Always a great experience with my family. Usually has a great pairing of movies. The first being kid friendly and the second geared towards adults. Admission and concessions are always less expensive than a theatre with the bonus of a second movie. Definitely recommend!

shawn harris

Great place for the whole family good movies great food. Well priced.

Jen S

Always love coming out here, ever since I was a kid! Now I'm a mom, sharing the fun with my son. It is old though, and it shows. Lights not always working, rust running down the screen we were at, and a much shorter than I remember intermission. Not the ends of the world, just me being nitpicky.

Dinah Wray

For a traditional outdoor drive-in movie theatre, this place has it all. Be more aware than we were...only cash is accepted or you're sent in to use the atm, and then pay at the cash.

Joel C

Best place to watch a movie

Jeff Johnson

Enforcement of the rules is not as great as it could be but still a very enjoyable experience during the COVID era.

Desa Stiles

A great drive in! The working crew had a few hiccups with setting up the entena to broadcast the movie but it was corrected quickly and it was smooth sailing from there. Remember to dress according to the weather! It was very rainy when we went so there were a few dozen small lakes to motor through.

Archee

Always have a great time. 2 movies for the price of one and food prices that can't be beat! Recently went for retro night and saw ET and Back to the Future! Such a good time! Always go multiple times a season. Favorite onion rings in the region.

Joel De Jesus

Very nice loved it definitely will go 10 times more .... Give it a shot u will love it ....

ASHA CONLEY

Old and alittle ran down but still a great place. They always have a good selection of movies and they are cheaper than a regular movie theater. Picture and sound quality is very good. (no 3D version or any of that fancy stuff but still great). Concessions are good with good variety and cheaper than the movies. Grounds could be better kept as there is alot of potholes and gets swampy in some places when it rains. Overall, great place to take the family for movies especially if you have a big family as it costs a fraction of what a regular movie would cost.

Keith Haine

Awesome place can't beat the the price for 2 movies and even better when it's a long weekend.!! Great staff and very friendly ,the staff & manager helped me when my cars battery died . They assisted me in getting a tow truck because my phones battery died too.It was and is very much appreciated!!

jessica lymburner

Great place for families ( we're here almost every week of the season) Washrooms are gross and get to the "grill" early if you want food because they run out often. Cash only but an atm is located inside

Chris F (Magichris14)

Always a fantastic experience for the family!

Jillian Speck

So grateful to have access to one of the last surviving drive-in movie theaters. There have been very few updates since it was opened many decades ago, but that's half of its charm. Clean a relatively well maintained for its age. I have no complaints and I love it for the experience everytime.

Melissa Mt. Pleasant

Great experience! The screen was clear, audio a little static but could hear what was being said. Facility was clean, able to maintain physical distance. Will definitely b back!

Sharon Howe

Love it super exciting to see movie on big screen

Saul B. Chogz

Great atmosphere. Kids love it

David Mackey

One of the few drive ins left on the planet... We go here many times a season...their poutine is amazing... They upgraded to digital a few years back and it made all the difference. Go early ...always packed... .always fun... Take lawn chairs..and they have battery booster packs if your car does ;)

Eric Westwood

Multi screen complex showing 8 movies a night on 4 screens!! Easy to find right off the highway my only complaint would be the speed bumpa on the drive way in are severe. Greay ammenites in the central building offwring a wide variety of snacks aswell as resonably clean bathrooms. Screens sermed to be in a good state of upkeep whick was nice because the last drive in we were at the wood became apparent 1/4 of the way into the movies! Films we saw sucked but that was our choice; experiance was great!

Wendy Parliament

It was our first covid related ou t door event because thats how it is now and it went pretty well overall.

Laura Ladouceur

First time at this drive in, we were very impressed. Greatly organized due to covid. Staff are very friendly. We are visiting from Cornwall Ontario and we were treated like family. Concession stand was closed but free water was provided. Will definitely be coming back when we visit again. Thanks for the great experience.

Frederica Weale

The fact that it's not crammed like a theater and you can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air while you watch your movie. The slushies are great too.

Shane Robertson

Still the best place to go for outdoor movies! Can't beat a classic drive-in... BUT the entire property needs a HUGE overhaul and scrubbed top to bottom. It is so out of date which I guess brings in the nostalgia but still...

Benoit St-Aubin

One of my favorite places to come watch movies with friends. There are great, and cheap, snack options and the tickets are well priced. The only thing I have to criticize is the cleanliness of the facilities. But other than that, a great place for all ages.

Chloe Borsellino

Best outdoor hangout activity ever since covid started, open soooon please lol

Nikki Waring

Awesome as always. I've never been disappointed with an evening at Canview

Emma A.

Love this place! I've been coming here every summer. The staff are nice, prices are great, and the food is amazing (sadly the concession is closed due to COVID). 10/10 would recommend going.

Andrea Durrant

The prices are so reasonable compared to the theaters it always makes for a great family outing. Last night my husband got home late from work and wasn't able to eat dinner so we ordered a cheeseburger from the drive-in... it was the size of a baseball and one of the most delicious burgers he has ever had. Pretty sure it was made from fresh ground beef. I love the deep fried pickles and $6.00 for popcorn and pop combo... Yes please!!

Cat Smile

I love going there; always great movies and friendly staff. I introduced the kids to my favorite summer night fun and they adored it too. Can't wait for next summer already!

Bryan Wall

Anything I don't like, they have no control over. Staff is awesome and the food is great and affordable to normal people. Plus, they let us shoot our engagement photos there at no charge! I love this place!

Lori Dobson

I come here almost weekly. The best entertainment in the Niagara Region! Awesome food selection. I live the deep fried pickles and onion rings.

Derek Hounslow

Super Friendly staff...very clean grounds. .well organized parking lot... hilarious Facebook page.

Darko Milivojevic

Great value for movies. Easy to park, pull out the chairs. Setup the kids in the back of the car and watch a few movies. Mosquitos can be a problem from time to time. But usually you get a nice breeze to keep them away. Some weekends they have triple bill and sometimes 4 movies.

Nishant Sharma

Good selection of movies. Thursday is truck load day. $17/ car load. Wish they could accept card's for movie tickets. Arrive early to get best place in the parking especially on Thursdays.

Thomas Barber

Had a pleasent time with the family. Bathrooms are open and they have cash and debit options now can't wait for concession to open

Ken Breitenbach

Go many times through the year. Great value pet friendly

alec ames

Great fun with friends. Food is amazing, I'd probably go there just for the poutine if I could. Always a great experience when I visit.

Shelley Johnson

Best Drive-In in Ontario in my opinion. Four screens very large very roomy with the best well-priced snack bar ever

Carly Demers

Always a great time, staff is ready and willing to help with any issues at all. Ive been coming here for decades and I love it every time!!!

Stephen Koros

This was the first time I've been to a drive-in theatre before and I'll be coming back for sure! The prices were great and it was easy to navigate around. Great overall experience!

Faranak Miraghaee

A great experience under the stars. We drove all the way from Toronto and it was totally worth it. The concessions were super cheap compared to other companies and came in big portions.

Paul Lavallee

Bathrooms aren't anything to write home about but it's a drive in, not the Ritz. Good sound signal, good parking and lots of honking!

Vikkeh Bee

First time here the place is packed. Good treats, friendly staff and good prices. Fun with friends or the whole family!

Sarah Sarfraz

My bestie and I went to watch Dirty Dancing during Covid. Brought back so many memories and fun. Wasn’t too busy but they were about 20 min late starting the movie which ant great when it’s late lol. But again teens seem to be running the location and they like to chat instead of work.

K S

It was an awesome experience at this drive in. Great value for money and a very pleasant staff. Would surely be coming back often here!!!

Kass M

Been a couple times, lovely place. Make sure to bring something for mosquitos, a way to play your fm station, and if your running lights don't turn off- a way to cover them!

Michelle Brown

It was good, I miss the concession but it will open in due time

Bentley The Warrior

We've always had a pleasurable experience here. Great and friendly staff. Delicious popcorn.

Stacy Muzyka

Had a great time with my family. People working were very friendly and helpful. The only thing I wasn't happy about, was I parked in the white pole section as I was driving a car. Two cars parked in the row in front of my family and I, they backed in and opened there hatch backs where they blocked part of the screen. Wasn't a fun experience for the little ones.

Felipe Andrés Guerra Cabello

Perfect place to relax or have some fear time watching movies

Robert Graham

Even with a pandemic the experience was nice. No line up for the men's washrooms but the woman's did have one.

Lace Up 295 EST Wildboyz

Grew up going here as a child and I still do I love it

Tran Narius

It all depends on how you like watching movies outside, I really enjoy it the sound quality is only as good as your car speakers and the spacing with cars is good enough where you don't feel like you are sharing it too closely with strangers

John L'Heureux

Great local spot. 4 screens. Price is great for 2 movies. Nice selection of snacks that don't break the bank. I love coming here with the whole family. I tell everyone about it when ever I can. Such a gem.

Sarah Hedden

Simply the best place to go!! Staff is always friendly and helpful, the movies are always awesome! You can't beat the atmosphere!

Natalie McMillan

Absolutely love Canview! It is my husbands and my favourite place for date night. Great prices, great snacks, great atmosphere!

TGY TV Tim Gilby

Love this place Tuesday cheap nite Thursday car load night definitely a good place for entertainment value. The best popcorn.

Mike Lush

A fun experience for all of us to be back at the drive in. The complex is large with hundreds of spaces for all 3 screens. Both admission and snacks are very reasonably priced. An area of improvement would be better enforcement of where large vehicles can park to not obstruct the view. Having more than one line at the snack bar would be nice. That have a great food selection but it takes a long time to prepare the food. The people who just want popcorn have to wait in the same line.

Brian McCauley

Love taking my kids here. Amazing prices, friendly service and a great experience.

Punda Bear

If I had a choice I would come here to watch a movie all year around. Very cheap to see 2 movies and they have great deals on tuesday. Food is pricey but it's the movies so what do you expect. Drive in movies are the best and give you a great experience and you would love it. Good movie selection and you can watch 2 movies for under $15 and on Tuesdays it is cheaper.

Jason M

Love going to the drive-in. Great snack bar prices too. Poutine is some of the best around. No cheese curds just lots of mozzarella & gravy.

Carrie Laws

They could use a playground like other drive in's, but otherwise, great time with the family!!!!

Mike Duyn

Great place to bring the family to watch your fave flicks and new releases. They have a snack bar inside and their poutine is amazing... They have an ATM on site and also accept debit at the gates now.

Karen Wapinski

Great place! A lot of fun to go with friends, and definitely kid friendly. Shows change weekly prices are very fair and for anyone concerned very easy to socially distance. I've been going for years and in my opinion its the best way to watch a movie especially when they do older features (one October they had an excellent triple feature with the original Texas chainsaw massacre, friday the 13th and nightmare on elm street) but also a fun way to watch new releases with relative privacy on a big screen. For anyone concerned they are able to give your car battery a boost if needed and concessions can be bought inside or bring your own without issue; my friend even brought her dog once. Really reccomend for everyone it's a great time.

Christopher Ross (rossgiftscom)

If you've not been to a drive-in recently, this is definitely something great to do while you're in the area. It's big with four screens and a well priced snack bar. A great place to bring the kids for a double feature!

S Brian Treelife

Always fun, cheap on Thursdays! If you've never been to a drive-in theatre, this is definitely a great place for your first! Two movies for the price of one and they're the latest movies!!!

Todd Melville

The spring of COVID 2020, has been nothing usual. Going to the drive-in, while missing the concessions, was great!

H Wright

Clean, well organized. They handed out free water even though their concession stands were closed. Downside: Maybe there's a racetrack nearby, because there was a constant sound of cars racing. Still a good spot though.

The King of Home Comfort (The King Of Home Comfort

How can you not love the old time nostalgic feel of the drive in. Love this place and want it to stay forever

Stephen Carbone

Just happy it's still around for everyone to continue to enjoy.

Jen C

I always love going to the drive in. It's a perfect place to go on a date or to take the kids. They allow you to bring your dogs which is a plus. It's a good price for what your getting. Snack Bar also great. Thanks canview

Krissy c

Great price for entertainment! Great prices on food and friendly helpful staff.The twins are the best.The owner is doing his very best and we are lucky to have a driven so keep supporting him plz!

Trishy McGilvery

This place is the best! I love that I can bring my special needs kids to a movie where I'm not being told to be quiet or sit down. The consession is so much cheaper than going to the theater too. $6 bucks for a huge tub of popcorn is amazing. As long as the drive in stays open we will be long time visitors!

Rob

BEST NIGHT OUT EVER!!!!! Never been to a drive in before.. OMG.. it's AWESOME!!! Such friendly staff and helpful too, great food, really well priced. It's just great, I can't recommend this place highly enough. BEST to get there a little early to get good spots (and buy your food before the movie starts)

Justin Lane

Great fun for the family. Glad they are back open.

Jenn and Neil

Always an awesome time... just wish people would learn to shut off their running lights. Maybe have someone walk around and ask them to shut them off.

Daniel Hadida

Such a fun experience with lots of screens and showings. The ground gets super muddy when it rains. Snackbar has great snacks and really friendly service

Ontario Gardening

Been many times over the years, and it never fails to disappoint. The price is very affordable, especially for a family (you'd be paying triple at the theatre to see just one movie). Food options are great, and priced well. Grounds are always kept clean, and the staff are always helpful and friendly. I have recommended this location many times, and will continue to be a customer for many years to come.

frank brotzner

It's still the same place as ever. Just with masks and shields so you get saliva on people. Time to get back out there people!

Sherry Heitmeyer

Decent prices, fun atmosphere. Deals on days of the week. We're lucky some old gems like this are still around.

Kelsey Halagian

This is an absolute gem. One of my favourite places near home. The staff is awesome and can't wait for the 2021 season to start up again ????

Kylene Unger

Always love visiting the Drive In, there is nothing quite like the experience of seeing a drive in movie. Happy to have one locally.

Josh C

I love this place. I've been going here ever since I was just a little kid and my dad would drive us out to see some movies. Now I'm in my late 20s and I bring my own family here on a regular basis, including my dog because it is a dog-friendly atmosphere that even sets up special walking paths in order to take your dog to the potty. They include bowls of water for the dog to stay hydrated and everything. Just a heads up, the entrance fee at the booth is Cash-Only so make sure you bring actual money with you. The staff is nice and understanding, if you happen to never have cash on you, like myself, they simply write down your license plate number and let you withdraw cash from the ATM inside of the concession building and then you pay in there and they check your license plate off of the "Payment Owed" list. Great atmosphere for all ages and all kinds of events; Dates, a night out, spend time with your dog, whatever your reason may be.

Rebekah Hookings (RebekahsReviews)

I grew up on this drive-in. The screens have good picture and good radio connection. The snacks inside are basic and ok but the restrooms have always been a bit unkept from memory. As long as you can pinch it this is always a fun experience at good rates

Michelle Gingras

love love the Drive in! the food is reasonable..the staff is great...what better way to spend a summer night

Ashley Cunningham

Awesome place to go family night tuesdays i believe it was $15 for the car full of people. Even other nights are affordable rates and snack bar isnt outragous in cost either. Alot of fun for a date night or family night.

Capturing the Crumbs episodes

Great that the drive-in is open again, has new movies playing, and has concession again too! Missed the full drive-in experience so much! Glad to be back ????

Betsabe Bustillos

Love this.place! It's a great experience for the whole family!

Ultimate Dragon

Movies were a bit boring but the people made everything 100% better my family had a great time i would 100% recommend to everyone!!!

Anna Campbell

My go to place with the kids. Cheaper than the big named movie theatres, great prices on food, good memories when I was a child passing to my kids! Will always be back!

Julia

I love this drive in. Always keeping up with new movies and always have someone onhand to jump your car if the battery dies. Friendly staff and great snacks. My favourite place to watch movies by a long shot.

Melford Armstrong

First time going, website shows they open at 7:30. However after sitting here 2 hours waiting for movie to start the kids fell asleep. It has been dusk for awhile now, very disappointing. Of course after 2 hours the snacks are done and confectionery is not opened during these times.

Jake McIlravey

Don't quite remember the brightness of the movie being quite as dim as this time I went. Could barely see anything in the movie, and we were super close to the screen. I may not know about the specifics of the operations of a drive-in, but I know the projectors aren't this dim. Seems this place may need some needed upgrades or different bulbs.

Courtney Joy Friesen

So glad we came by to watch a movie

Farley Hadley

We take the kids here once or twice each summer. Thursday's are $15 per car load, so a great value. The facilities are looking dated, it could use some refreshing, but we always have a fun time!

Apsitis

Can-View is a Niagara gem. There are less than 40 drive-ins throughout all of Canada, we're so lucky to have one right in our backyard. Affordable, best atmosphere, amazing staff... can't praise it enough. The best part of summer in Niagara!

Llyana Fielder

A very affordable evening to spend in the summer, enjoying something from a by-gone era. Love that they've kept the drive-in going in an age of streaming and downloads. Concession is very reasonable. Screens could use a little maintenance though.

Excellent night out! 4 screens, plenty of restrooms, great fries! They even do a movie with closed captions a couple times/mtg for the hearing impaired.

Matthew Green

If you bring me to a drive in ill have a good time regardless so i have a hard time giving this place a 1 star. In terms of drive ins its sub par in my books, a lawless wasteland if you will. Minimum options at the snack bar so make sure you bring your own. My main gripe is the lack of enforcement of rules. People with suvs and hatch up 3 rows from the screen, lawnchairs out even though the rule is not too with the current pandemic going on. This place is waiting for a huge fine and its a shame but it cant be that hard to hire 1 or 2 kids to go around and make people follow precautions.

Shelley Hotte

Amazing Halloween night! Even gave the kids a hand decorated treat bag of goodies. Great distancing protocols inside. Amazing staff all dressed for the occasion, polite and efficient! Can't say enough good about the crew and the movie lineups! Way to go! Oh and food prices are great! Great portions!

Zelda

good price, good food, good movies, and great space. only problem is the mosquitos. don’t come here in the summer unless you have lots of bugspray or stay in the car.

Logan Palmer

What an awesome place for friends and family to enjoy a fun night Under the Stars. I met the owner tonight and he was amazing. Really down-to-earth guy who's not worried about the big dollar, more about getting by and enjoying life. Everything about this place is awesome for kids, dates or whatever. Thanks Can View Drive-In

Jennifer Quigg

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Reasonable prices for movies and popcorn. A full grill menu. An absolute treasure

Karisha Thompson

I've been going here for years and I just love the family friendly atmosphere here. Nothing beats getting to watch movies in the bed of your suv or truck in the great outdoors. The facilities are very well maintained as well. The employees are always at your service and ready to help you too. The only downside to this place as a millenial is it's cash only, no cards. However, they do have an ATM on site so if you do forget to bring cash you can absolutely still pay for things. Overall though, I've never had a bad experience here. Even if it rains or fogs up or there's technical difficulties, as long as you have your original receipt you will receive a raincheck ticket for the next day or whenever you'd like to go back next for the exact amount of people in your vehicle.

I really like going here...especially on a cool night. Concessions need some work. Below average popcorn (which is hard to be). We were wondering why there wasn't lineups on a Friday night...I guess most people knew- bring your own food. Which is a shame...I'd rather give my $ a small business- but there has to be some quality. But we didn't go there for the food...screen was a good sized and the sound was also good.

Twinkle Ankoliya

Great place for private and family fun, if you want to keep the window down make sure carry bug spray. I saw F9, and that time we were not allowed to sit outside our car but still had window down and needed bug spray.

Krista Chakhov

No concession and no lawn chairs due to covid but still had a blast!!!

aurelian Invicta

I've been coming here since I was a kid so for me its just a blast from the past. Love their snack bar, nachos are to die for haha never a bad time....unless it rains ????

Patrick Swan

Great prices 4 screens cant go wrong. Big bathrooms so less waiting during intermission always a good thing when dragging the kids along. Food was tasty went for the sausage but they were out so tried the cheeseburger real ground beef yum hotdogs were good too 12 inches split in half fed both kids fries and gravy were nice going to have to try poutine next time portions were big. Only downside CASH ONLY but I dont blame them costs too much.

David W

Great experience! Will be going back. Looking forward to snack bar opening!!

David Theoret

Great date nite all safety measures are taken

Belgarath Wolf

The best drive in I have been to! The screens are very large and the movie areas fit almost twice as much cars compared to other places I have been. This means there is always a good spot waiting! Nice big, and clean washrooms. The only complaint is that the food is very expensive, but you have to expect that at a movie theaters these days.

Chelsea Bilton

Love to go here to watch movies! Nice to watch a movie from your own car. Support the drive in by buying food inside... good prices too!

Jerry Tidd

Great drive-in, and best concession stand burgers I've had anywhere, hands down. The owner might want to put some profit into updating the place.

Andy

4 screen drive theatre with new movies. Great snack bar with standard drive in options. Popcorn burgers hot dogs fries onion rings etc. 2 movie features ans on holiday weekends 4 films. Cash only. But reasonably priced. Thursday is carload night

Noelle Tekarakie

Love this place, such a good quiet experienc and friendly place. It is nice to hear nature and see some good shows. Good concessions and a variety of options.

Chantelle Reid

One of the best movie drive ins ever

B

A great movie experience. We're so happy they keep this place together and running. The facilities are a bit run down, but in a nostalogic classic sort of way. And they have everything you need from popcorn to candy.

Kayla Kourounis

Had a fun experience watching Black Widow!

alyssaan91

I love visiting the drive-in on a nice summer night. I am so glad this place is still open. You can see 2 movies, 3, or 4, depending on the night. I normally just see 2 movies because 3 or 4 is too much for me. There is a lot of room and you don't have to worry about people being directly beside you. Food is pretty good and bathroom is normally pretty clean. I hope the drive-in stays open for a long time!

Tyler H

There should be a little preview so people and get the radio set up, the scrambling in the dark and the movie starting are not a good combo... Other wise very good!!!

Denise Henderson

Loved doing the drive in when we were kids. It was nice doing it again with fam

Michael Robertson

It's great to get the classic drive in experience, with the "let's all go to lobby" song and everything!

Michael Robertson

It's great to get the classic drive in experience, with the "let's all go to lobby" song and everything!

Jen Bruce

Always love this place!!!! So many fond memories. I hope we all can continue to make memories here!

mark doucette

Was Good. With exception of idiot people and their tail lights. Food was good and service was good.

Jay Blinky

My favourite drive in. Beautfiul summer drive in the back roads to get there.

Sam Fleming

Super nice. Attentitive to people disrupting movies and gave me a boost when my car died. Fantastic place.

Kristel Cullen

We love it! Good night out for couples or with kids. Good prices!! I recommend

James W

Instant classic. Affordable. Great experience. Staff is very friendly. Food is good. Large popcorn 6 bucks taxes in. Cant beat it. Cash only but who cares. Love this place.

Rebecca Williams

Love this drive-in. Big spaces to park so not crowded. Friendly staff from what I experienced. Definitely will return!

kwaka101

I went here as a kid.. and still love it 30 years later... Tuesday's are cheap night.. 4 screens is still cool

Ian Booker

Awesome experience. Fair prices for the movie and better prices for food. They only take cash which is a pain but they have an ATM inside. Usually have good movie selection but can be hard to find two movies on one screen that you want to see. Worth mentioning that the food is not only cheap but delicious. Simple fries, poutine, and other easy stuff.

Eren Justin Besim

This place is awesome, I have been coming to this drive in for over 30 years, I have so many great memories from this place. This place means a lot to many people in the region.

Antonio Halcon

This was just okay. The quality of the picture here was not the greatest at all. Good experience otherwise. ????

Niagara Mom

Awesome local business. Love the experience of the drive in movie with a group of friends. Their food is good also - burgers, hot dogs, poutine, popcorn - generous portions for sharing. Make a night of it and have dinner during the first movie. Also follow them on Facebook - you won’t regret it :)

Melissa Overholt

Movies start at dusk, not just before 10pm. Snack bar is very efficient with quick service. Clean Bathrooms.

Jennifer Hughes

One of my favourite places. The Facebook page is worth a follow, the movie combinations are usually pretty good and the snack bar is amazing! Great way to spend a summer night!

Gregory Walsh

Never been to a drive in before and man what an amazing place. Such a great cheap way to spend a late night with friends watching good movies and have some fun. It's very organized and people are helpful, they have a great food and snack selection as well. Bring your bugspray!!!

Charlene Ettinger

Will not return again, they start the movie to soon so you miss the first 20 minutes because its still light out and can not see anything on the screen. No one enforces the fact that you need to TURN YOUR LIGHTS OFF so a bunch of retards hangout with their lights on all movie, also adding to the fact that you cant see the screen. Im good, ill stay home next time.

Debbie Marion

We love it here! We come very often and the kids love it. It's one of the fewer places you can still have a great time at without spending a fortune. Staff are amazing and the food is great and affordable. I can't say enough about this drive in. It is something we really look forward to.

Sarah Rossi

Going here is very nostalgic. My dad use to take us here when we were little. It's not as busy as Starlite. The bathrooms are nice and clean. Only downside is it doesn't have a park for the kids to play before the first movie starts

Shelly Grenier

Love this place. Great view of the screens, good variety of junk food at the grill, clean washrooms. Only downfall is the uneven ground and the amount of water that sits after a rainfall.

Jessica Jones

Great price, fun, but you have to smell other people's cigarettes and hear drunk people yelling sometimes. Still fun though. Dogs seem welcome.

David Garrod

Wonderful time with our grandchildren, haven't been able to see them for 18 months. The staff in the concession stand were the friendliest we have ever had

Taryn G

The best drive-in theatre around! Super friendly staff, great variety of food, well-maintained parking, and cheaper than going to the regular theatre.

T Bennett

Always nice to go for the experience. I heard rumors they may not be around much longer as the land was sold anyone know if this is true

Kristine Pleau

I love the drive-in. The picture quality has improved so much! And the staff is great, definitely one of my favorite spring/summer/fall traditions.

Harshy Singh

Great , cozy, family friendly place. Very reasonable pricing as well. Although the FM transmitter could use a upgrade to enhance sound quality ,but overall great place.

Jennifer Hill

Caseload night is great with youngsters and concessions are pretty economical. I wish I didn't have to worry about smoke (MJ or cigarette) at a kids double feature but such is life at an outdoor venue.

Stacie Kostecki

Very helpful when we couldn't figure out at first how to get our radio to stay on with lights off. Figured it out, but they were awesome!!

Marlene Hill

Great drive in. Great food. The facilities are clean and good. Always have a good time here. Can relax whatever way you want either inside vehicle or outside. Watch where you park with kids. There is that infamous odour at times! The amount of rain we have had has made lots of potholes this year. Dangerous when walking.

Stacey Ryan

Great staff. Great food. Loved going to the drive in as a kid. Now my kids do too!

Jordan Gillespie

We have enjoyed it every time we have been!!

Alyssa JS

Such a fun night out! This place is classic.

Duane Elzinga

Great place. Awesome for family outting. Great food. Little run down but still good.

Miss Mel

Sat outside on the back of my truck, I could hear every movie playing, the washroom roof is carving in where the fan is over the toilets and I needed my friend to hold the taps on so I could wash my hands..... put the money people spend there to fix the darn place up!

Keith Lewis

What a great spot, new to the area but this drive in is a gem! We watched 2 movies, had great food and service at the concession stands! Hands down a great overall experience!!

JT

Snack bar has good food and great prices.

Brandy Boudreau

My only complaint is that people don't turn off their headlights, especially when the are backed into a spot.

Miguel Pereira

Picture could use a little more focusing. No it's not my eye sight. I just got brand new glasses some my vision is 20/20. They have bigger vehicles like trucks, SUVs and vans park in the first few rows which blocked the bottom part of the screen. Specially the SUVs with their trunks open. I don't understand why the bigger taller vehicles get the front rows instead of the back.

sheen d

I go here once a month with the kids and they love it and i love it equally. Good prices for food and always a fun time.

Jeff Goss

Fantastic drive in with wonderful, inexpensive food. With 4 screens there's good choice and with the price it beats the theater. Dress confortably and enjoy a relaxing evening out.

Justin Lei

My first drive-in experience! Nice experience and lots of fun!

Henry T

Great Drive-In! Some fixer uppers needed such as painting the screens, flattening the car park, and getting in some more concession options. Very friendly service.

Colton Valeri

Great place to bring the family to see a movie. Could use a playground for the kids like some other drive-ins.

Jacob Cashin

Loved my first time at the Can-View! A great experience that will definitely have me coming back for more drive-in fun!

Jason Lam

Not many of these drive-in's left. Great place to see a couple of movies for a decent price. Concession stand can be very busy though.

Mackie Mccarthy

Unreal that you can't sit in the bed of your truck lol Im literally in wal mart parking lot watching people load there groceries right beside eachother these dumb rules gotta go...

frank Notarianni

loooooooooved it me n my girl had a hell of a time bon jovi baby this house is not for sale

Steve Du Plooy

The best place to go to and relax and watch some movies. They need to keep it around and not get rid of it. I think it's great to still have a drive in. I love it. I'm from South Africa and the drive in always reminds me of home and when I was younger.

Mike Jakusz

Great prices and the pairing of movies are usually good. The staff is very friendly and the food they have is really good.

Andrea Carbone

Love the drive-in. Getting a poutine is a must for us when we visit. Great, friendly staff, always quick and always clean.

Nexus Tees

Been going here ever since I was little. I love this place! :)

Shauna Davidson

Just came to the drive in first time back in a while since Covid... me and my boyfriend are in our truck parked far away from everyone else in the very back row and we were setting up our blankets in the back and a team of staff members came over because they had staff watching over cars and the screen parking lots from the ROOF! So staff came over to us and told us the we had to be inside the truck to watch the movie. We said okay and went inside the truck to eat our food that we brought (keep in mind that it is only 8:00 and it’s not going to get dark for over an hour) so we kept our blankets in the back of the truck because we were eating our food. About 15 minutes pass and the team of staff members come back and tell us that we have to turn our truck around and must watch the movie from inside the enclosed vehicle! We said we are eating right now do we have to turn around at this very second and they said yes... are you kidding me... I understand that they are just kids having to do their job but why is this rule a thing? I don’t get how a truck is so bad that we can’t sit in the bed. Mind you occupants in SUV’s/hatchback vehicles and trucks with caps can sit in the back with the hatches up... We are not even parked beside another vehicle.. this Covid rule is ridiculous

Brad Parr

Cheap food, nice staff, and great use of their resources. I wish they would try and get more headlights off in the lot though. I saw a few cars that I know for a fact could be easily turned off, but they weren’t done. Overall, great experience and I recommend this as an option to anyone looking to see a movie

Mikey Jay

Love going to the drive in! Two movies for the price of one and a great way to get to watch the latest movies with a baby and small child without having to get a sitter. We try to go a few times a year

Steven Hall

Could have used some help from the staff to assist the pumps who couldn't figure out how to or encourage the JAs who didn't want to figure out how to not shine their headlights in our faces. The same story at every drive-in though. Some places allow much less headlight action than this. Overall experience was good. Concession was good and prices were reasonable.

Poolseidon pools

Absolutely love it, my wife and I attend every season with weekly visits we never miss season opener and final viewing for the season. We both have been enjoying the absolute relaxation and entertainment provided by the Can-View drive in since we were kids I have brought my own children there since they we babies. Keep on rocking for many more generations to enjoy.

B W

We've been coming to the drive-in ever since we first moved to the Niagara Region, nearly 10 years ago. Its been a great place to create memories with family and friends. It will be a sad day if this place ever closes.

Janice Muller

Awesome. Haven't been to the drive in in a while loved it Making plans to go back soon

G. Davies

Loads of memory we take he family grandkids sit out side on beautiful night under stars and watch shows you won't regret it

Victor Robinson

Great place for a matinee or double feature! It brings feeling of nostalgia which is really driven home with the classic style intermission commercials if watching a double feature. The screens are nice and clear projections and the audio never had any problems with cutting out. Overall, great fun!

Nicolas Pelland

Always a great time at the drive in. We've been coming here for 4 years now. Best value for money if you want to see a movie in your sweat pants and sweater

Marillius Maximus

I've been going for years....love it... Drive inns are few nowadays.....what a pleasure that we have one in Niagara Region... The staff is always excellent and the condiments are plenty.... Thank you...

D Kennedy

Love it love it love it. Very good facilty 4 screens to enjoy and always a good variety of current movies and concessions are fare prices

Sita Williams

Staff are polite. Food is amazing! Even during Covid, they are polite and apologetic through it all. We have now become regulars!

Janet Schweinbenz

My daughter and friends drive 30 minutes to the drive in , in a pickup truck They paid for everyone and were given their tickets They proceeded to find a parking spot and setup their blankets and pillows A staff member came by and told them they could not sit in the back of truck because it had no cover! They were asked to leave They said that they were more then 6 day from other people and even had their own masks and were willing to wear them if required The staff member said no, you must leave No refunds! And no where posted about trucks on there website! And they were following covid protocol outside 6 ft away and masks How horrible not to refund these kids As well the staff member who sold the tickets should have informed them of can views rules before taking there Money!!

Danielle Karo

Love this place! The staff are always friendly and always do a great job serving up the food. Everything is run so well. Great job!

Firstname Lastname

The Can-View Drive-In overall is good. The atmosphere is nice, the prices are reasonable, and the food is good. Good place to bring the family. Some of the screens are fairly rusty but you don't notice it during the film. My biggest complaint are the bathrooms. P.U! They're disgusting! Lots of rust, and garbage all over the bathroom floors. Needs to be maintained better.

A Condos

Super cheap Tuesdays with 2 movies playing and stay in your car to watch the movie -COVID compliance!

Charles Thibeault

Brought my family out to watch 3 movies in a row. Very good line up of movies. Lion King, Toy Story 4, and Aladdin. They had a good time.

Tracy Elliott

Love the drive in Good movies Good prices Good food Good service All around good place to o 4 a night out

Tiana Balint

Awesome staff so friendly and the food is priced low! 6 dollars for a large drink and popcorn! Best gravy aroubd for the poutine
