If you're feeling like a mad scientist while dining at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater restaurant, try a Cosmic Concoction, such as a thick shake mixed with either Baileys Irish Cream or peppermint schnapps. Then end your meal on a sweet note with a gooey dessert like a hot fudge sundae, a warm apple and pecan crisp, or a chocolate tart.

Like a night at the old drive-ins, servers at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater restaurant bring food to vintage '50s "convertible" tables as you watch '50s and '60s sci-fi and monster flicks on the big screen. Dine at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater under a nighttime sky filled with twinkling stars, while glow-in-the-dark ice cubes swirl in drinks. It's all part of the otherworldly ambiance that's hard to beat.

Touring Tips

  • Pair your meal with a rich milkshake or, for Guests 21 years of age and older, domestic beer or a glass of wine.
  • Waiters treat guests sitting in the left seat of the front row as the "driver" and the rest as passengers who need to chip in for "gas money". Moreover, if your party is small and they put other people in the same car as you(many vehicles have 3 rows) they call them "hitchhikers".
  • The Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater isn't ideal for large groups or even any group that would like to see each other and talk. The seats are two per row and each row faces the same direction, so whomever is in the first row needs to turn around 180 degrees to speak to those behind them. And if you have more than 6 people in your group, you'll have to eat in seperate cars.
  • The movies clips are unintentionally funny and include "Plan 9 From Outer Space", the "Amazing Colossal Man" and other B Movie classics.
