Holiday Twin Drive In Theatre

Pros – We really love the Holiday Twin Drive-In! The audio for the movie is always perfectly clear through the radio, and the staff is always extremely nice. If you get there a little early, the views on one side are gorgeous—even on a yucky day. I also like how they bring back movies from a few years ago sometimes. Cons – The bathrooms are mediocre. They usually have toilet paper and soap, so that’s all that really matters. But one soap dispenser in the ladies’ room looked like it had been duct-taped five times and was still falling off, lol. Now for the actual reason I didn’t give 5 stars: you can’t customize food here. As someone with food allergies, that’s really frustrating. I would love to support the food bar, but I always have to eat beforehand. We usually only end up buying a small popcorn. I just wish they made everything plain so customers could add what they want. I asked once and was told everything is premade with all the toppings—very disappointing. If that ever changes in the future, I’d honestly rate this place a 5/5! We still absolutely love it and probably come every other weekend in the summer. I’d highly recommend it!

Best drive in i have been to in my life. Super cute, dark as can be, quiet area, other activities to keep kids from getting bored, and the most reasonably priced snack bar you will find at any movie going business. We make the drive from Denver because it is such a better experience compared to our local options.

I love taking the family here for a fun outing. The sound quality for the radio is good and parking is fairly easy. The biggest issue is the time it takes to get through concessions and the time it takes to get your basic order. Otherwise it's worth the visit and money for a fun experience.

I've been going since I was a kid, and now I take my family. We went again this last Friday. Their staff is AMAZING. I was blown away at how professional and impressive their staff was. Our car died 20 minutes in, and their staff was there within 2 minutes and got us jumped. We didn't even need to ask for help, they were already there. The concessions is priced very well, especially with how expensive all other theaters are. It's a great environment, great staff, and definitely worth taking the family to. Tip for those who drive hybrids, bring a radio and leave the car off. Our 2024 Grand Highlander only lasted 20 minutes. They do have bluetooth radios they rent to you if you don't have a radio.

Went on a Tuesday, wasn't busy at all. Place is clean, well taken care of, ticket prices and concessions reasonable. But, I don't have a radio in my car was 10 bucks to rent a speaker and had to leave my license. Speaker worked great, I just thought that was a little too much, more than the price of the ticket. 🫤 Staff was really friendly. This was my first visit, I'll definitely be going again!

Waited 30 min for 2 regular hamburgers which they said was a special order and one cheese burger. Figured they would have both types of burgers ready specially being one of the first few people to order. Idk who’s running management but you’d think they would have things more organized and that they would be ready for the rush. People were getting the wrong orders and on top of it my wife’s burger was greaser then an oil pan and soggy so she didn’t even end up eating. There went 17$ 🤦🏽. I’d suggest you bring your own food and drinks as the dr pepper tasted like water!

Awesome time.... the place can handle ALOT of people .they do it efficiently too. Now customers who open their hatches,to where you can see a little of the movie needs to move to the back with the trucks... (trucks behind them)... That's not the drive inns fault... that's people.

Always a good, nostalgic time! But my boyfriend had left 15 mins into Karate Kid for a concessions run and did not come back till literally 50 mins later. Yes, the line was longish but he said the overall system of however they’re doing things back there was very unorganized and just not very efficient… I’m assuming other movie-goers missed a good chunk of their movie too :/ Hopefully it was just an off night!

The perfect drive-in movie experience just west of Fort Collins, CO! 1950's/60's movie theater ads, music, and announcements. 2 screens (each showing 2 movies for the night.) Be aware that cell phone service is not good at this location so plan ahead!

We came to see beetlejuice. We had our engine running to ensure the battery didn't die. Another movie goer came and told us to kill our engine because he couldn't hear his radio over the engine noise. We told him to turn up his radio, but respectfully turned off our engine (knowing the battery would die- older car). Long story short, our battery died mid movie ):. I went to use the restroom near the consession stand and Xander was working. I decided to ask him if he could jumpstart the battery so we could leave after. Not only did he and the other employees working on Sept 27th readily say they could jumpstart our truck, they also lended us a free speaker to use. Ty Xander ur the best xoxox

We love the holiday twin drive in!!!! We are so fortunate to live in a town that has a drive in. If you are local, its definitely worth supporting. There are so few left in the US now. We generally purchase our tickets online now beforehand. They will email you the QR codes and it is a really smooth process to check in. They have their poles colored as your pull in to park. They will tell you based on your vehicle type what pole you should park next to. As you can imagine larger or more high profile vehicles will need to park near the back. There is a fantastic snack bar with all kinds of food available! you can order it online and they will let you know when its available. Lots of choices. My husband always supports the snack bar. I dont genrally personaly get something though. This is a great venue for family or date or friend outing.

We spent last evening livin' it up at the Drive-In and we know that means summer has officially begun. I purchased tickets online before we left the house, and it was a really smooth process. I recommend taking a screen shot of the QR code tickets because cell service can be spotty out there. We tried to order our food online but the system was saying everything was unavailable, so we ordered in person. Their snack bar is equipped with a great array of candy, grilled items, and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. I ordered a vegan beyond burger with a frozen prickly pear margarita, and my partner ordered the Twin Burger combo which included fries and a Sippin' Pretty tall boy. We complemented that with a box of Mike and Ike's. Our food was out in an efficient 10-15 minutes and was utterly delicious. The margarita was a little too sweet for my liking but I still enjoyed it. Love seeing the improvements that have been made to the menu, drink offerings, and overall food ordering process. I will absolutely be back many more times this summer--and you should too!

I've been here many times in my life but most recently was last week when my spouse and I attended a watch party for the Colorado Eagles. It's always a fun experience and I feel for my friends and family who don't live close enough to a drive-in theater to experience it. It's something everyone should do at least once in their life, in my opinion. The watch party was a complete blast and we got nachos from the concessions which were just so nice. The cheese was in a cup and the chips were arranged really neatly in the box. Staff was telling people to wear their masks, too, which I appreciated a lot. Definitely check out the Holiday Twin. It's really fun.

I'm embarrassed to say that it took COVID-19 for me to finally take in a movie at the drive-in. The Holiday Twin was a breath of fresh air with all of the other theaters shut down, frequently changing the movies they were playing and offering a variety of special events, eg. a table service dinner & movie date night, girls night, and so forth. It was their "Open Bark Night" that finally got me to come, standard poodle in tow, to enjoy a showing of The Secret Life of Pets. Okay, to be honest, my dog didn't care about the movie, but really enjoyed her swag from the pet businesses that had booths set up and the treats I got her from the Poudre Feeds treat truck. She also got a free Bark Box, which was cool. The movie experience is similar to what I remember from childhood, with better sound since audio is broadcast over radio rather than being supplied through some box you hang on your car window to provide tinny sound. That said, I don't have a boom box, so ended up using my radio, which also meant that I periodically had my car running so that I wouldn't run down my battery. I wish that there was a phone app with the audio feed as well. Food at the snack stand was reasonably priced, but I don't really understand their order ahead / we'll text you when your food is ready / you'll still have to wait for 45 minutes after we text you system. At least for this special event there was a comic doing stand-up for part of the wait. Absolutely not a perfect experience, but you know what? It was an opportunity to get out and see a movie safely during a pandemic. I thank the owners/operators of the Holiday Twin for making the most of it and offering numerous events appealing to various demographics during this difficult time.

Best Drive-ins I've been to my entire life. Kids and I along with husband always enjoy this place. The food is delicious and very friendly staff. Great place to spend the weekends with kids.

My favorite place to hang out with friends during the summer. Staff are also amazing. Killer burgers too!

I always have and always will love Holiday Twin. The drive-in had always felt so fun and whimsical to me...we love tossing a bunch of pillows and blankets in the back of the truck and going early to tailgate! On our most recent visit, I was really impressed by their menu and ordering system. You can order online from your phone and get a text when your food is ready! I love that there's always a double feature, even though I usually struggle to stay awake for both. It's a summer staple in our family and I always look forward to visiting!

Love the drive in. The best way to watch a movie. Pack your car and your pup and go watch a movie

Drive ins are the best!!! Thank you for staying open! We love you guys! Great movies and food!

Was the best first time experience for my boys! They LOVED it. The people are all extremely friendly and the whole place is clean, safe and warming

My first drive in experience was horrible. Hopefully not all of them are like the Holiday Twin. First, there are two rows of cars waiting to get in who have been there for 30 minutes. What does the manager do? He opens up a third lane and let's those that arrived after everyone else to go in first. Second, the snack bar is a disaster. The kids running around have no idea what's going on, how to take orders, how to remember orders or ring up orders appropriately. Also, you can order certain things inside but have to go to separate areas to pick up pieces of your meal. There's nothing worse than cold fries served with a severely undercooked hamburger. Third, enforce no cigarette smoking if you're going to claim there's no smoking. There was a family of chimneys that went through what seemed like 3 packs of cigarettes right next to us. Unpleasant experience overall.

It has been so great to have the Holiday Twin own during Covid. Tonight I want to thank Emma at the box office who was so positive and helpful with the theater's (not so great) website. Thank you Emma for making my day!

Our family decided to go the Holiday Twin Drive-in while visiting family in the area. We are not strangers to the idea of drive-in, it is one of our favorite family things to do together. Upon arrival I was highly impressed with the level of organization. The staff was incredibly upbeat and friendly. They directed us to the specific color zone in order for us to park. A helpful staff member guided us in & gave us rope to tie down our hatch so everyone would have a good view of the movie. Once we were settled in our spot we broke out our chairs and blankets. Then we visited the snack bar. What an excellent system in place. I think the comments in regards to the disorganization a few years ago definitely had an impact. They have taken extensive measures to streamline the ordering process. They offer a wide variety of food & drink items. Hot dogs, pop corn, pretzels, cotton candy, candy, root beer floats, along with usual drink items. There was another food bonus ... handcrafted burgers!! They not only smelled delicious they were delicious. Worth the $8. I mean think about it, this guy is out there grilling burgers to 50's music having a real conversation with you. The kids outside playing frisbee until the movie starts. And don't forget you get a double feature! Well worth the admission price!!! ($8 adults $5 for kids 2 & under free) This is more than coming to see a movie. This is an all American experience. It's a step back in to simpler days. Community, food, and good times. What a great time. I've been to drive ins all over the East Coast & this one was top notch.

This place is a rarity! One of the few left in the country. Nestled up against the foothills of Fort Collins this place had withstood the technology onslaught and had stood the test of time. Haven't been to a drive in in ages but gotta admit I'm liking it. Hope it's around for a while, great place to being the fam!

Great outdoor movie theater if you have the write car. Summer only some years but some there is some on holidays. The lines for the food are long but very worth it. Great movies are played but there not for every one. Very kid friendly and a perfect family nigh. Best outdoor theater in Colorado or at least in my opinion.

I've been to several drive in's during my life. The Holiday is fine. The grounds could use some updating, but the screen, projector, and sound system were OK. The snack bar is a tad expensive, but what do you expect? Overall I would return.

This is exactly how they looked when I was a kid. Great price and anywhere you park you can see and hear perfectly. Food is good and good prices for a theatre. They rely on the concession so we always buy dinner and drinks there. Popcorn is a must! Bring cars, seat in the back of the truck or be in a coupe.... Have fun like the good ole times

I am surprised and a little sad to see anything but five-star reviews for this place, though the primary complaints resonate well. The drive in is a Fort Collins staple and it's an absolute delight each time I attend. I'll admit I am absolutely biased when it comes to this, because I really want the drive in to prosper so that it continues to be a viable endeavor for the owners and we don't lose it in the community. That said, I cannot deny the issues they have with their concessions. It's a shame, because that's likely their primary source of revenue, but customers must choose between waiting in line for an hour (this is not an exaggeration; it's an approximation based on the fact that I've attended the drive in at least a half a dozen times each season since I've lived in Fort Collins) or watching the movie. When faced with that decision, most people simply sneak food and drinks in, which isn't doing the establishment any good. The issue seems to be two-fold: 1) lack of cash registers (only two!); and 2) lack of food prep. I don't think they have any food warmers, aside from a small one that holds corn dogs (delicious, by the way) and churros, therefore, burgers, fries, onion rings, funnel fries, etc. are all made-to-order, with limited space, so expect to wait for those items. Everything is truly delicious, though. :D Helpful things to know: during the summer, arrive at least an hour in advance of dusk, as you'll be waiting in a long line of vehicles. Bring cash for the Box Office, as they don't accept cards (the concessions DO accept cards). Admission is more than reasonable at only $7 a head for adults, and concession prices are also quite reasonable (no more than you'd pay in an indoor theater). I take a boombox with me, equipped with batteries, if I plan to purchase concessions. This way, I can wait near the concessions at the tables and still watch the movie. :) To address another recurring complaint on here, I'll be frank. Quit whining about obstructed views. Be adults. Talk to your neighbors. Ask others to tie down their hatches so they are flush with the tops of their vehicles. If someone is being difficult, lodge a formal complaint to staff. They WILL take care of it. However, if your primary course of action is to troll review sites and b*$ch about it after the fact without trying to address the situation in the moment, then my only comment is your not savable. That also applies to the person complaining about smokers. *Sits in blind rage complaining about smokers, but refuses to ask ANYONE to stop smoking or to inform staff while it's happening* Finally, please consider supporting the drive in by donating to their kickstarter campaign for upgrades. An upgrade of the facilities will help to sort out the recurring concessions issues.

This has got to be the best way to spend a summer night! You can bring your dog to enjoy the flick. Transform your vehicle to a summer drive-in mobile. Meaning my van gets all the rear seats removed and replaced with cushions, mattresses, and pillows galore. Catch a cool summer breeze coming off the foothills as you watch newly released blockbusters. Grab some nachos or a burger or a hot dog. Maybe you want a homemade burrito or some cotton candy? A double feature for $6 per person? You can't beat that! Now, if only I could stay awake.........

We went to see "Guardians of the Galaxy" at the Holiday Twin. Luckily we decided to go early because the line to get in was already getting long. After paying at the ticket window, a "security" guy gave us 10 instructions in 5 seconds. I turned to my wife and said "did you get any of that?" She said no, so we drove into the lot and tried to figure out what to do. We saw a variety of colored poles, and realized the instructions related to the poles. We couldn't remember if we were or were not supposed to park at the green poles, so we took a guess and parked. A few minutes later we found out we guessed wrong when a security guy asked us to move to a different colored pole. Once we settled in to the proper place, we started having fun. We watched other cars park, and security guards correct parking errors. We saw small kids play, adults throw frisbees, and families interact. The car next to us had the Broncos preseason game on, and I bonded with them over a few exciting plays. I realized that going to the Holiday Twins to see a movie is a shared experience with whoever is there. Moreover, it's a shared AMERICAN experience. Where else on the planet can you do this? And increasingly, there's fewer places in America you can do it. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the foothills and not long after that the movie began. One advantage modern drive-ins have over the 1960's version I grew up with is broadcasting stereo sound through FM frequency rather than that crappy box hanging on your car window. Much better sound means a much better experience! We left after the first movie. We just can't stay up that late anymore. But I really enjoyed our evening at the drive-in and can't wait to go back.

This was a very cool experience, but I wish their website was more clear as we felt a bit unprepared. When they say "co-feature" they mean they are literally playing TWO movies for the admission of one. We figured we could choose one of the four that were listed, but no. The feature is the first movie and then on the same screen they play the co-feature after a short intermission. Had we been more prepared, we definitely would have brought blankets, pillows & made ourselves a comfy little bed in the back of the Xterra and stayed for the second movie. They have a snack shack with lots of different food choices. We tried the green chili burritos which were pretty tasty! Despite our confusion, definitely a noteworthy hangout spot for dates & kid-friendly fun! We'll be back next summer for some more flicks.

Worth the trip! A double feature, under the stars, at the base of the Rocky Mountain's foothills... it doesn't get any better than this! Full concession stand with candy, popcorn, soft pretzels, ice cream, etc... Be sure to bring a comfy camping chair and a warm blanket or sleeping bag for the full experience. FYI... Sometimes viewing darker scenes during a full moon can be difficult.

NO BETTER PLACE TO SEE A MOVIE!!! It is a great place to hang out with your friends and family, even your dog if he is a good boy. The snack bar had good food and they make fresh burgers on the BBQ grill! Yes you will have to wait and be patient, but remember the folks that are serving you are working very very hard! Be nice!

I loved this place. Coming from a big city with no drive ins I thought this was a great deal and great atmosphere. The food is great and the movies are too. I'm very impressed and I will be coming back next season. Super fun to bring your dog and sit in the bed of your truck too! The line gets long closer to the movie, so we try to get there 30 minutes early.

Pretty cool place but I advise to bring your own food! They claim they need the food money to stay open but the lines are incredibly long and they cannot keep up with demand. They even close lines during the rush since they 'have' to close sometime -right?'

Very cool place. Had never been to a drive in theater before, so it was quite an experience. Not a bad price... $6/person for two movies. Movie starts at dark (our movie started around 9pm). Just a quick suggestion, in addition to the other posters. They make you park according to vehicle size (which makes perfect sense), so the smaller car you have, the better. We had the closest possible spot for a vehicle our size (truck and SUV area) and we were a little far. Will probably take the small car next time. Although, sitting in the truck bed with cushions and pillows on a nice night is a very fun way to enjoy a movie. :) The snack bar was great as well. Paid $5 for a double meat double cheeseburger. And, it was pretty good. :) Drinks seemed a bit pricey, but you can always bring your own. This is a very family and dog friendly place. But, also fun for those without. We thought that it was very cute (and smart) that many of the kids had their pj's on. Looking forward to returning to this place.

We used to love going to the drive-in, oh how things have changed. Opening up the third lane and letting in people that didn't arrive early to get a good spot is crap. Allowing people to rent out the first 2 rows is crap, especially when most of them don't show up. I like to purchase items from the snack bar, but the prices have gotten ridiculous. The bathrooms are disgusting.

This place was great! It was nice to watch the sunset over the mountains and then watch the movie. We only stayed for the first feature because we were driving back to Denver and it was getting late, but it's a good price for two movies. We also brought our dog. The only reason I give this place 4 stars instead of 5 is the food situation. I didn't see on the website where it said outside food not allowed, but it says it at the entrance of the drive-in. We did bring our own and no one said anything. I do realize that this business is supported by their concession stand, though, so I went and checked out the food so the next time I'd know. It's all unhealthy, though, and not many vegetarian options. I wish they had options besides nachos, hot dogs, etc.., That being said, it wouldn't keep me from going and I suggest if you are in the area to check it out. There are two sides--one side is more adult movies and the other is animated/kid friendly movies.

1st and last time visiting. We brought our daughter to see How to Train Your Dragon, after a 20 minute wait to get in we were told by the security where to park specifically for HTTYD. We were an hour early so it gave us plenty of time to hit the snack bar. Snack bar took over 40 minutes. We waited in a decent line for few minutes but spent the majority of the time waiting for two hot dog meals and two candy bars (which cost $29 BTW). We got our hot dogs quickly and were told the fries were going to be a bit of a wait. 5-10 minutes later we were given our fries but our other food was already cool. Movie started playing at 9:30, which was fine but to our surprise the movie that started playing wasn't the one we came to see and wasn't the one security and the box office told us to park specifically for. As it came to our attention I was pissed and went to the box office and asked why we were sent to the wrong theater by him and the security. We were told he was sorry and that we could switch theatres immediately. At this point it was 9:40-9:45, we didn't want to load up and move to unload in a crappy spot. So we are watching the other movie as I type this. All in all, I will never come here again. But if you do, don't bother with snack bar, just bring in food and alcohol like the people next to me did. Security didn't bother looking twice at their food or beer while discussing a parking problem by somebody a row up.

We were visiting from California in town for a softball tournament and brought my daughter for her first Drive-in experience. Popcorn was great and it brought back nostalgic memories of my childhood. Loved it!

Great drive in, great pricing! Love when they have their double features. I dont get home till 3am, but its worth it for what? 8 bucks?

Only drive in located in Larimer County. Beautiful location next to the foothills. The concession stand has candy, hot dogs and soda, eat before you come.

I love this place! Not only is it one of the only (or perhaps THE only) drive in theater in Northern Colorado, it's got all the drive in requirements. They have a great snack bar, two screens, and a beautiful location. Watching the sun set over the mountains while you wait for the movie to start isn't a bad deal. And even though they now charge per person (as opposed to the carload) the ticket prices are $6 a person and free for anyone under 5 which is a steal considering regular movie prices. Definitely a must see!

I love this place! Even if it's outdated. It was an amazing part of my childhood and I still drive from Denver to be able to share this amazing experience with my children. I will continue to support them and make awesome memories as long as they stay around!

This is a classic drive-in in west Fort Collins. They have ample parking and the 2 screens are decently sized. We especially liked the concessions, which for a small movie theatre were really good. On our last trip, the kids (2 & 5) had a melt down before the film started and the owner gave me a coupon to come see another movie. Good luck getting that to happen at one of the 'corporate' theaters around town! I support places like this!

So happy that there is still a family owned drive-in theater. All kids should have the fond memory of family bonding with the drive-in and was so glad to share this experience with my family.

It just isn't summer until we visit Holiday Twin. We live in Cheyenne and really enjoy our time at this drive in. The price is reasonable, the food is great and not super expensive, the area is great to be at during a sun set and the staff are very friendly. Make sure you bring cash to the box office, but the snack will take credit cards.

Where do I start, well this place is just awesome! We have went to a lot of drive ins over the years and this one tops the list" give you a idea how much we went 26 times last year to twin and 5 to others,remember season is only 4-5 months long" .Food is always excellent"I recommend the freshly grilled burgers on weekends".Staff always super friendly and helpful. Definitely also come early to get a good spot and concession lines are short then. Definitely worth your trip and money "2 movies for one price" Take a look you won't be disappointed, can't wait for opening night again.

Exceptional value! Family run business. I came here about 6 years ago and it's just as I remembered. we came this year on a Sunday and had plenty of room to park (we even got there around 9pm). My boyfriend thought the food quality was good as well. $7 for a double feature movie. And it's really neat because they show retro commercials during the intermission between movies.

If I ever move back to Fort Collins, this establishment will have been part of the reason. This piece of good times history is frozen in time for everyone to enjoy. I saw more movies at the Holiday Twin then any other theater for 3 years. The concessions are varied and good quality. I highly recommend this place for date night and family night!

Great drive-in theatre. A lot of parking and all spaces are on an incline to provide a good view of the screen. They play current movies. You can bring your dog. Concessions are cheap compared to traditional movie theatre but you can always bring your own food and beverages. Bathrooms are also clean.

My husband and I drive from Cheyenne down to Fort Collins to check out this place. What a great drive-in! Awesome location, great snack shop, clean restroom and friendly staff. Will definitely return!

This place is great, affordable, and pet friendly. We discovered the theater last summer and really wish it was open year-round (although I understand why that isn't possible). Two newly released movies for $7 a person? AND they're pet friendly? What could be better? I like being able to sit in the comfort of my car, have a conversation with my friend if I want or sit in lawn chairs with a group of friends. The only thing I was worried about is my car battery dying after having the power on for watching two movies (you use the tuner to listen to the movie's sound), so if you're worried about this - bring your own radio.

Great setting, great picture and sound quality.. definitely come do this on a free night around Fort Collins. Only recommendation I'd have is take a smaller car to be able to park right up front. Trucks and lawnchairs are nice but the screen is only soo big..

Awesome kick-back to the 1950s. Very recent movies, pretty cheap tickets ($7 per person), and you get 2 movies! Definitely an awesome experience. Highly recommend it.

Beautiful setting next to Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins. Two screens playing double features for the price of one! Snack bar is filled with goodies. Gourmet burgers and brats on the grill on weekends and homemade burritos plus all the movie treats you want! Popcorn is the best made in a gas fired kettle with coconut oil! Enjoyable night out with our family.

We came up to this drive in for the first time to see the Jimmy Buffett concert. What a great place! It was only a little over an hour from Denver, and well worth it. I can't wait to go back. And, you can bring the dog for a little outing. The staff was super friendly, and the crowd was terrific and friendly too.
