Great Drive-In! You really have a top notch entertainment complex and your prices are a real deal compared to the other indoor theatres in the area! Keep up the good work. It's wonderful to have such an establishment in Southwest Virginia!
Nice site dude! Your drive inn rocks! The mini-golf course is amazing, and the batting cages are great! Randy
This is a great place to have old-fashioned family fun. The prices are very affordable and the movies are newly-released. I highly recommend the Park Place to anyone looking for a fun-filled experience.
I LOVE WHAT YOU ARE ADDING TO YOUR WEB SITE MORE AND MORE. YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB. I REALLY ENJOYED THE EXTRAS YOU DID ON THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. THE TRAILERS WERE VERY ENJOYABLE. HOPE TO BE ABLE TO COME SEE THE NEW PIRATES MOVIE. I LOVE CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW!!!!!! THANKS, VICKY BOWMAN

Your patronage will help us to continue and grow. Thanks for being a customer!
LOVE COMING TO THE DRIVE IN, IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO GO FOR FUN AND TO SEE A MOVIE WITHOUT HAVING TO FIGHT THE CROWD AND HIGH PRICES IN A MOVIE THEATER! I HAVE TO ADMIT IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THERE WERE 2 MOVIES PLAYING, AND MAYBE SELLING HOT DOGS OR HAMBURGERS, BUT OTHER THAN THAT YOU'VE GOT A GREAT THING GOING! PLEASE DON'T NEVER LET IT DIE!!!!
I really like your website I think it's really nice. If you were going to add anything to the website I would add the screen frequency that you play your movies on so people can program their radios before they get to the Drive In
unless I missed it, I think the price of the Mini-golf ,per person should be listed on your site. I did feel real good with the clean surroundings and the nice friendly employees. Thank You
Management Response:
Price listings for our attractions will be posted on the site soon. Thanks for your suggestion!
We thoroughly enjoy the drive-in. We are there just about every weekend. It is a one of the few places left where the whole family can enjoy a whole day out without robbing a bank. Thank You! James W. Blockston jblockston@yahoo.com

We appreciate you being a loyal customer and it's our pleasure to serve you!
My family loves your drive-in!! We live in Rural Retreat but drive to Marion to your drive-in instead.Only suggestion is that it would be nice if you had a pamplet or something with a list of what's playing in weeks ahead or at least the following week.
Management Response:
Check out our "Coming Attractions" page. Coming attractions are updated there. We appreciate you coming down from Rural Retreat and for the nice comments!
I am a mother of three children, as any other family, we enjoy the movies and family time. With todays prices at theaters, it's difficult to have these memorable times. I am thankful that someone around this area has made it possible for the working family to be able to enjoy a movie in a great atmosphere. Thanks for all the summer memories! Amy
Management Response:
We are certainly glad to be part of your memories!
Top Notch Drive-In! You have so many entertainment options all in one place! We love the laid back atmosphere of the drive-in. It's really nice to throw a blanket on the ground and watch a movie under the stars. The quality of the picture and sound is exceptional. It's obvious that you have put a lot of hard work and effort into making your drive-in, mini-golf, batting cages, game room, and ice-cream shop a very high quality, affordable, and inviting place to visit! It's really nice to see "just released" movies at the price you offer! We don't have to take out a loan to see a movie any more! This web site is great also! My compliments to you and your staff! Keep up the good work.
Love the drive-in!! Would appreciate a smoke-free area though - folks with allergies and asthma don't want to breathe in all that secondhand smoke (and no one wants their children breathing it either). And some earlier movies would be helpful for those of us with small children who conk out by 9:30! ;)
My wife and I camp at Hungry Mother every summer, and pass by Park Place Drive In, but have never stopped in. Not this time! We love drive-in theatres, and can't wait to get to HMSP AND Park Place the last week of this month! Looking forward to giving y'all some rave reviews! Doug & Janice, yearly escapees from Big Lick
You should put showtimes on your website.
Management Response:
Look above the movie posters for the start time of each feature. The running length is also shown on this page.
Well, we had a great experience camping at HMSP, despite the occasional rain, and one of the highlights was the Park Place Drive-In. We enjoyed the first night of our vacation at the drive-in with "Ratatouille" and "Pirates III", and the last night with "Halloween" and "Live Free or Die Hard" as well. We love drive-in theatres, and can honestly say Park Place is head-and shoulders above Starlite in Christiansburg. Lots of parking, great layout, ample time to visit the concession stand or ice cream shop before the show. And the Park Place staff were extremely friendly. We didn't have the opportunity to play miniature golf - my wife's reaction was "Where are the windmills?", but thought the fees were reasonable, especially in an age where people don't think twice about paying $4.95 for a cup of coffee! We did visit the ice cream shop several times, and loved the atmosphere as much as the confections. The cost of only $5.00 per person for a double feature? Unheard of these days! The only thing I'd say is missing is the addition of hot dogs and fries at the concession stand, but the popcorn is hot and fresh with lots of butter. Overall, the Park Place Drive-In has become our all-time favorite drive-in, conveniently located near our all-time favorite State Park. Can't wait to see y'all again next year!

Great Web-page
I wish you would alternate the movie times especially the kids movies in the summer...sometimes it is hard to stay through two movies that you really want to see with young kids but we would come to one one night at the early time and the other the next night at the early time..The late movie is hard for people with small children...Thanks
WE LOVE LOVE YOUR DRIVE IN ITS THE ONLY ONE I WILL TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO ITS VERY CLEAN AND HAS A GOOD FAMILY FEEL TO IT. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU DO YOU DO BIRTHDAY PARTIES?

I love how there is a place locally where you can watch up to date movies. Will you guys try and play baby mama i know a lot of people who are dying to see it!
To answer a previous poster's question if I may. Yes, they do host birthday parties. Look at the Theatre Pics section and you will see a picture of a display about birthday party hosting. I've set up a party there and it was GREAT! A really good deal, you don't have to prep and clean up like you would at home, your house isn't trashed, and there are a lot of great activities to keep kids occupied. I love the new mini-golf course by the way. It's the best by far short of Pigeon Forge or Myrtle Beach.
Parkplace is a great place to come and watch movies and the cheapest in the world....
My family and I vacation in the area every summer. During that time we come to the drive-in at least once during our visit. We love it! Is there any way that you could add a calendar as to what movie will be playing when? This will allow families to "plan" on not seeing a certain movies before arrival. Thanks for sharing in some great summer fun with my family!
Can you please fix the hum in the sound system. This gets really hard to enjoy the movie. I have listened to it on two different radios and it is not my end. Also can you please clean the movie screen. It has moss and dirt on it. Since you raise your prices, I can go to the indoor movies and pay just a dollar more to be in air condition and a clean screen. Thank you William Haymaker
Can you print the actual dates that upcoming movies will be playing? We are trying to plan ahead.
Hello If I may make one suggestion of putting the times you are open on your recording and on your web-site for the mini-golf and batting cages it would be quit helpful. Thank you a concerned patron.
I love your drive-in and check the web site every week. I would like to know if you are going to start puting the dates to the coming soon movies. Their are so many good movies it would be nicw to know when you will be playing them. Thank You,
I agree with the person who commented above! The humming sound is very distracting! We've adjusted our stereo settings and the hum does not get any better. Also, the signal seems weak -- we have to turn the sound waaay up to hear the movie properly, but the hum gets louder, too. I don't remember this being an issue when we first started coming to the drive-in a few years ago, but now this problem reminds me of the poor quality sound at Rural Retreat - which we don't go to anymore!
I love the drive-in I just wished this one started a little later in night. In my opinion 845 pm is to early I would like to see the start time moved up to 900Pm or 930pm. This is due to it still being to light outside to see the screen.
You do get some good movies...I wish it was still free for kids under 12 a 7 and 5 year old will not sit and watch a movie.....I know $2.00 is not alot but our money is gone when the kids won't sit down and watch the movie....
would like to see you open the ice cream shop year round
the Park Place drive in is so cool it is better than the other ones
