FAQ
Questions about Ford-Wyoming Theater, answered
How many screens does Ford-Wyoming have?
Ford-Wyoming has five screens. Each one shows a different film on the same night, so you choose which screen you want as you pull in and park facing it. Ask at the gate what is playing on each.
What FM frequency does Ford-Wyoming use?
Ford-Wyoming broadcasts its soundtrack on 89.5 FM, 91.9 FM, 87.9 FM, 91.3 FM, 103.1 FM. The audio comes through your own car stereo rather than a speaker on a post. If your car cannot run its radio with the engine off, bring a portable one.
Can I rent a radio at Ford-Wyoming?
Ford-Wyoming rents radios at the counter: portable radios available at the box office and concession stand for a $30 refundable deposit. It is worth one if you plan to sit outside the car, or if running your stereo for four hours would flatten your battery. They go quickly on a busy night, so ask when you arrive rather than at the interval.
What time does the movie start at Ford-Wyoming?
Ford-Wyoming does not post a set start time that we could find. Most drive-ins start the movie around dusk, which in October is about 7:19 pm and at midsummer closer to 9:45 pm. Plan to be parked by sunset and check with the theater on the day you go.
How much does Ford-Wyoming cost?
Admission to Ford-Wyoming is $29.75 a carload, $15 per adult. That is one price for the whole vehicle, so five of you pay what two would.
Can I bring my own food to Ford-Wyoming?
You can bring your own food and drink to Ford-Wyoming at no extra charge. Pack a cooler and the tickets are the only thing you pay for. The counter is still there if you would rather buy dinner when you arrive.
Are dogs allowed at Ford-Wyoming?
Dogs are welcome at Ford-Wyoming as long as the leash stays on. Keep it short near other cars, bring water, and clean up afterwards. A nervous dog is worth leaving at home, because sound carries across a lot.
