We visited the Eden Drive-In last night with our family of 5 and had a great time! Cars 3 and Captain Underpants were the double-feature. We live about 1 hour, 15 minutes away and it was well worth the drive. Eden features a full service grill with popcorn, drinks, burgers, hot dogs, pizza, nachos and ice cream at very reasonable prices. They also allow outside food, so you can arrive early (gates open at 6:30 pm, movie starts at dark) and eat dinner or bring your own food and have a picnic.
You can sit outside your vehicle if you bring your own folding chairs, or retreat to the large deck with seating on the hill in front of the restaurant. The cost was very reasonable considering we took 2 adults and 3 kids to see 2 first-run movies for a little over $30.00. The bathrooms are reasonably clean and very accessible.
A few tips -
If you have kids, bring a frisbee, football or other outdoor activity toys and send them off to play in the field.
Bring a portable radio if you're sitting outside your vehicle and you're worried about running down your battery. The theater broadcasts the audio on FM 88.9.
Bug spray is a huge bonus during the summer months.
Be aware that a double-feature will run late into the night (12:45-1:00am) so bring pillows and blankets for the kids.

A great museum with exhibits covering the history of Rockingham County and the Piedmont area of North Carolina. Exhibits include everything from the early Native American culture to the civil rights era of the 1960's. If you are interested in early transportation exhibits including a replica of an early Henry Ford engine, automobile artifacts and railroad history from the Civil war forward this is the place for you. The museum contains a rare look into America's past preserved and presented in a viewer friendly way.
The museum is located in a courthouse building from the early 1900's.

We visited Infinity Acres for the ribbon-cutting open house. There were a lot of other community-based organizations in attendance that day to show off what is offered in the community. Our children (ages 5 and 11) enjoyed petting the animals and riding the miniature horse carriages. It was great to see all the improvements to the ranch since my visit last summer. However, I was a little disappointed that the big barn and duck pond was not able to be toured during our visit. Please call before visiting to ensure you are able to tour the barn & lake areas.

The Eden Historical Museum is a very good local museum. It has attractive and imformative exhibits. It is open from 10-4 on Saturdays. You should certainly stop for a visit when in the area. There is a $1 charge to tour the museum....a good bargain!
