Overall, a perfect way to spend the afternoon.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was really relaxing as well. It was very good value for money, tasty food and big portion sizes. I had some traditional Albanian food recommended to me by the waiter. Then I had a meal at the restaurant with, again, stunning views. It’s truly breathtaking, it can’t be captured in a photo, although I tried! :) Once I got to the top, I headed straight for the viewpoint at the top of the mountain, and spent ages just looking at the view. The cable cars feel safe and secure, but maybe if you are scared of heights you should consider whether this experience is right for you. The cable car journey takes around 15 minutes each way, and you get to take in the amazing views of the city, and once you get further up the mountain, all the beautiful nature surrounding it. The ticket price for the cable car was 1000lek for a return journey which is a little expensive for Albania but I feel it was worth the price. I decided to get a taxi for the return journey, and this cost me 800lek. The bus is a little confusing to navigate as a tourist but I managed it. You can ride the L11 Porcelan bus from the centre of Tirana for around 20 minutes, and then it’s a 10 minute (uphill) walk to Dajti Ekspres. I highly recommend having this nostalgic experience - this is the only drive in left in our area.I took the cable car up to Mount Dajti during a November afternoon after hearing that you can get a beautiful view of Tirana and the surrounding landscape, and I was not disappointed! And if you join their mailing list you'll get great ongoing offers via email. Pricing was a good deal for admission too.
West wind drive in ticket prices movie#
The way the screens are arranged you could easily watch a different movie without moving your car, should you choose to. The ladies room was okay considering how many people were there watching the multiple screens. The only reason I gave this review 4 stars is because my son said the men's restroom was nasty. They even had a slide and bouncy house for young kids. It was much cleaner and had a game area in the front. The snack bar area has had an overhaul since I was last there. Go with right lane- it has the shortest curve and seems to go fastest.
I'd recommend arriving 30 minutes before your movie starts - it takes a long time to get through the 4 lanes of ticket takers. We loved being able to take our own snacks and drinks and we turned the back of the car into a bed with the hatchback lifted - laying down for a movie was awesome!! It was fun to take my son and brought back great memories of my younger years. Overall, a great experience and one that my family and I will be repeating throughout the summer. There sound is patched through FM digital signal, and it is great to hear multiple stereos around you pumping out the bass and effects and dialogue. Unlike other drive in movies, they actually wait until dark to start the shows. Tonight, I even asked for fresh popcorn and was accommodated, so there is good customer service. the concession stand is reasonable for a movie theater and the popcorn, while to salty for my taste, is always fresh. The ticket price is very reasonable at $7.75 for adults and $1.75 for kids 5-11. Theirs are well maintained, paved and marked. The pictures on all the screens are bright and clear. All of the screens have been replaced in the past year or so and the projectors are well maintained. That said, the west wind is centrally located (just east of the intersection of Carey and Rancho), close to major attractions (Texas Station and Fiesta Rancho), and well run. There is more motion, and it is more visceral. For me, drive ins evoke a certain nostalgia and experience that cant be had in a theater.
