Coyote drive in lewisville9/22/2023 It had been raining off an on that day so we didn't get to see any live music but I'm sure it would have been fun. My nieces (ages 5 & 7) took off to the playground and play forever! There was corn hole set up opposite the playground and a stage where they usually play live music. I am so glad we did because by 7:30 the place was PACKED. Our movie didn't start until 8:50 PM but since we had finished with dinner early and it was our first time visiting Coyote we got there around 6:00 PM to check out everything and get a good parking spot. The ticket prices were great - $8 for adults & $6 for kids for a double feature. This place was just amazing!! I went with my brother, sister in law, and my two nieces. Good experience! Parking lot is gravel and when the wind comes up, it does blow dust around and you get kinda dusty and you don't get the benefit of A/C but, it definitely is a great family experience and worth the price for a double feature! The sound for the movie wasn't a problem as many of the surrounding vehicles radio's make the audio sufficient and many people brought portable radio's. Other foods looked good but can't comment on those. The pretzels were old, dry and genuinely gross and wouldn't recommend. Typical movie snack bar fare with the added option of a bar and real food i.e. We went to the concession stand because we were denied that privilege when we were kids and get something "because we could!". It was the opening night for The Incredibles 2 and it was BUSY to say the least! Parking is cramped and we saw 2 accidents almost immediately as the attendant was trying to get people to move closer to allow more cars and it became kind of nerve wracking. We took my 1968 Chevelle here for that old time feel and it was fun! I think our whole team may be spending a lot of time at the Coyote Drive-In this summer – nothing beats the nostalgia of watching a movie on a big screen from the hood of a car.We've been trying to get here since it opened and finally got the chance. But remember that you’re really paying $8 for TWO movies so that’s only $4 a movie! Plus the cool experience of being at a drive-in. Pricing will stay the same as the Fort Worth location’s current prices: $8 for adults, $6 for children age 4-10 and kids 3 and under for free. They’re hoping to have the Lewisville location open just in time for prime drive-in weather, so look for news of the grand opening around May. The reason for the bigger vision? Coyote Theater execs believe they can expect 250,000+ cars to visit the drive-in annually with the five screens accommodating up to 1,367 cars. Named one of Fort Worth’s “hidden gems” by the Dallas Morning News, Coyote Drive-In provides an awesome outdoor movie-viewing experience.īut Denton County residents will no longer have to make the trek out to Fort Worth to enjoy the Coyote Drive-In experience because Coyote Theater LLC was recently approved by the Lewisville City Council to build a drive-in theater on the corner of Holford’s Prairie Road and Midway just a couple of blocks from the Sam Rayburn Tollway.Īnd the Lewisville location is planned to be even bigger and better than the Fort Worth location with five screens offering double features (versus Fort Worth’s three screens), an open-air pavilion, a kids’ play area and a 10,000-square-foot restaurant! And the owners are also working on plans to include a beer garden within the massive restaurant space! I can’t wait to check out some summer blockbusters at the drive-in next summer! How about you? Prices are presently set at $8 for adults and $6 for children 11 ages 4-10. Other amenities include a central open-air pavilion with seating, a kids play area and a beer garden. There will also be a 10,000 square-foot fast casual restaurant which will be open every night two hours before showtimes begin just after sundown. The drive-in will feature six different movie screens, each showing different double features. Last Monday night the Lewisville City Council approved an amended special use permit for the theater, meaning that construction can now begin in October with an expected completion of June 2016! After a very wet Spring and Summer, delaying construction, I’m so happy to hear that the project is back on track! Don’t worry, everyone… I’ve gotten a couple questions recently about whether the Coyote Drive-In Theater of Lewisville is still actually happening.
