I hadn’t been since the old location and I was disappointed. We were in the front row to begin with since my daughter has vision problems and the picture quality was not good at all (blurry and dark). Only half of the screen had the movie playing and the screen seemed a lot smaller than the old location. I gave it two stars because there was plenty of space and wasn’t crowded. $30 per vehicle seemed reasonable for the prior location, but too much for the overall quality for this location. Just not for us. We unfortunately won’t be back and don’t recommend.

Excellent experience at the Aquboggin Saco Drive-in. Ample parking with rules in place to be sure that all have a fair view of the screen. Sound quality was good.

They open at 7 it says the movie starts at 8:30 and it did not we waited until 9:30 and no movie started. Everyone was getting annoyed and the excitement of the drive in faded and everyone wanted to leave. I had to find an employee and ask what was going on I was informed they were having projection problems so I asked if we wanted to leave could we be refunded he said no we don’t do that he didn’t even have the courtesy of turning around and looking at me. Very disappointed. I do not recommend going here.
Waste of time and money.

I was really excited to go to one of the oldest drive ins in the country. But all the cute pictures of this drive in were from years ago and not current. Didn’t realize we’d be in a giant parking lot with one of the smallest screens. We left 15 minutes into the movie because we were getting absolutely destroyed by mosquitoes since it’s next to a waterpark. And the car next to us had a delay on their radio, making the audio eco and repeat, which made watching the movie also impossible.

We bought a ticket for Jurassic World Rebirth and How to Train Your Dragon. The movie was supposed to start at 8:40, but the projector had issues and they had to push it back. We left at 9:30, and the movie had not even started yet. The issues were not communicated and no refunds were offered to us when we asked. The workers were rude and disrespectful. Complete waste of my time and 30$.

Did not have have drive in feel, more like the backyard of a local dad gone overboard. The sound was not in stero and came over awful, the picture wasn't even in movie format, it was in TV format.
Certainly not worth the price of admission let alone my time.
Very disappointed

All I have to say is the two boys working the con session stand need a raise. Great customer service and impeccable generosity.

First time at this drive-in and everyone was so nice. I liked the food truck as well.
