Questions & Rules

Parking Rules

You must follow all employee instructions including directions to move or re-park vehicle. Employee decision is final. Refusal to immediately cooperate will result in ejection without refund.

About the Poles

  • Park between two poles; these are the only designated parking spaces.
  • Park twelve inches or less from one pole.
  • Parking has been marked to adhere to social distancing guidelines.

Vehicle Height

  • Park your vehicle in height appropriate designated rows.
  • If your vehicle seats are low to the ground, we recommend parking in the first four rows of designated poles closest to the movie screen.
  • Vehicles close to 6 feet high must park in designated pole section.
  • Vehicles close to 6 ½ feet high must park in designated pole section.
  • Height includes your raised hatch or anything that causes the top of your vehicle to be close to 6 feet or 6 ½ feet off the ground.
  • Hatches must be tied down, at least one inch below roof, immediately upon arrival. Our parking lot attendants provide string and help; please let us know if you need assistance.

Your Space

  • You cannot, for any reason or any length of time, save a space for anyone else. Spaces are strictly first come, first serve, to be fair to everyone.
  • Vehicle must point straight at the screen you purchased your ticket for. You can back into the space.
  • You cannot sit on your vehicle roof.

Be Respectful

  • You cannot run your vehicle engine, turn on your lights, smoke, vape, or in or near your vehicle.
  • Alcohol, of any kind, is strictly prohibited from being brought onto the grounds. Doing such is grounds for immediately removal.
  • You cannot bother your neighbors in any unreasonable way. If management determines that you’re bothering neighbors, you’ll be asked to leave.
  • We don’t allow vehicles to run the engine during movies, even if it gets cold. Please bring extra sweatshirts and blankets. We will sell hot drinks if it gets cold.
  • Even if you arrive very early, we reserve the right to make you switch spaces with another vehicle if a customer view of the screen is blocked. You will be ejected for moving a cone, fence, pole, or barricade. We can’t promise you the perfect parking space.

General Info

What are your new rules?
Due to the changing situation and regulations in Massachusetts, the below rules and FAQ may be adjusted for safety. For up to date information please visit our Facebook page.

We ask that you follow all the rules that our staff asks of you.

What is the Marshfield Drive-In?
We are Massachusetts newest Drive-In located on the historic Marshfield Fairgrounds!
How do I find out the movie schedule?
MarshfieldDriveIn.com lists current movies on the homepage. You can also click special event or see full calendar for beyond this week. We announce the weekend schedule the Monday prior to the weekend.
Do you sell tickets in advance online?

Yes. Click here to purchase online tickets. Online ticket sales close at 5:30pm for the show of the day. If the movie is not sold out, tickets are available at the box office.

At the box office, show the purchased ticket on your phone or print the e-ticket (you must download the attachment so it prints the barcode) and show that. Our contracts with Hollywood require a full price ticket. The box office will open 2 hours before movie start time. We highly recommend arriving at the box office at least one early to leave plenty of time to park and get snacks. You must arrive at the box office at least sixty minutes before the previews begin, or we can’t guarantee a parking space. We don’t reserve a particular space, just a space somewhere on the lot. A ticket can be scanned only one time; it will not work for another vehicle after it’s been scanned once. No refunds for any reason.

How much is it?

$30 per vehicle for double features, $27 for single features. $6 extra charge per passenger over six people. Tickets purchased at the gate are $33 per car.

When are you open?

Open four nights a week , Thursday – Sunday. The show starts when it gets dark. For instance, about 7:45PM. In the event we are forced to cancel due to weather conditions a credit for another purchase will be issued. In the event of a cancellation, we will add additional days the following week, but due to Hollywood contracts cannot guarantee the same movie will be shown.

What can I bring?
We do not allow alcohol, weapons, grills, coolers, kids’ electric vehicles, or anything our employees think could cause a problem in terms of safety or bothering other customers. Chairs, blankets, radios, and games are allowed only directly in front of your car (between your car and the screen).
When should I get there?
Please leave enough time to redeem your tickets at the Box Office, park your vehicle properly, and get food and drinks. You must get there at least 60 minutes before the show to guarantee a space. If you arrive within the first hour that we open the gates on the weekend, or anytime on weekdays, you should not have a problem. Some customers arrive as soon as we open so they can get their favorite parking spaces, set up their chairs and blankets, play games, and visit the snack bar.

Everyone reacts to differently to mosquitos. We do spray our grounds regularly, however, we recommend you bring bug spray – it’s better to have than not to have.
