My experience has been that this is a very family friendly business. They are open 7 nights a week at the height of Summer, but the hours change as the seasons change and I would recommend checking their web site which is very thorough and answers just about any question that you may have. They also have 2 snack bars offering pizza, burgers, hotdogs, nachos, French fries, jumbo pretzels, popcorn, pop, chilly dilly pickles, ice cream, cappuccino and all sorts of other goodies. They offer three screens each showing a double feature starting at dusk. Ages 6-11 is $4.00 while children under 5 are free. As of this writing it is $ 9.00 per person ages 12 and over. Be sure to bring cash, as this is all that they accept at the box office. The box office opens at 7:30 and there is usually a line of cars waiting to get in. It is a great way to spend a Summer evening with family that is certain to stir up feelings of nostalgia. The Evergreen Drive-In was established in 1947 and I have been going since the early 1970s. Mt Pleasant is so fortunate to be one of the few towns that still offer a drive-in movie theater. It was a fantastic evening and I know we will be back. I would highly recommend a trip out to the Evergreen. (we bought a pack since my fiance hates mosquitos and I have to say the pleasent aroma was an added bonus to our experience) The consesion stand had darn near anything you would want while watching a movie including an old classic mosquito repelant incense called Pic. The entire staff was welcoming and friendly from the ticket taker to the clean up crew. This family run business is located in Walnutport PA, (Lehigh Township) on Route 248 approximately 11 miles North. The screen we watched was clear and bright and the radio transmision was near perfect.just enough of the quick little radio scrath to remind you that you are at a drive in but to me that made it more enjoyable. Becky's was also recognized by being voted 'The Best of the Best' in Showmanship by the Drive-In Theater Fan Club in 1996, and was also included in the New York Times' '10 Drive-Ins Worth a Detour' by Don and Susan Sanders in 2002. The Evergreen is a fantastic mix of both the new and the old. I have to say we both loved our time there and are already thinking ahead to our next trip. So we decided to make a venture out to the Evergreen as soon as they announced that they were showing one of our favorite movies, Jaws. Its been forever since me and my fiance have been to a Drive-In theatre, in fact we've never been to one together.
