Kinetic Recreation Design

06/21/2024

TWENTY years ago today Kyle Thompson filed a LLC with the state of Indiana for Kinetic Recreation Design. It hasn’t always been rainbows and sunshine or easy, but he has always been fair, consistent and steady with the growth of his business. You can tell by the relationships he has built, the reputation he has gained, and the loyal employees he has kept for multiple decades. He puts out fires every day and makes it look easy. He has overcome a recession and a pandemic and came out brighter and stronger. It’s quite impressive. Now with offices in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Tennessee things seem to only keep growing. Here’s to dedication and integrity and celebrating 20 years with pride! ❤️🛝🎉

The new playground Tiffin Drive-In Theater is looking great!!

PLAYGROUND PAW PATROL PARTY! 🐾

Bring the whole family out this Friday to celebrate the opening of the Tiffin Drive-In Theater's brand new super fun Children's Playground! Built by the fine folks at Kinetic Recreation Design, we are super excited to roll out this new addition to the theater. We think it will enhance everything we do at the drive-in, and add a festive element to the experience for kids and families for many years to come. Come out and enjoy the very first night of the playground with the exciting premiere of PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie.

To help celebrate this special night, we have invited back some of our special friends; like that mystery solving dog who does a paw patrol through many haunted houses - Scooby Doo! And our finned friend from the deep blue sea - Mermaid Alexea! They will be on-hand to greet all the playground kids and Paw Patrol fans of all ages.

Our diner's delicious menu will feature a family special this weekend. Order our 4-Meal Family Deal, and you get four entrees (any combination), four drinks, and four small fries, and save $5. Your choice of hamburger, cheeseburger, chicken tenders or pulled pork for your entrees. Get your paws on our 4-Meal Family Deal and save Five Bucks!

So be sure to arrive early Friday, September 29th to secure your parking spot, get some good food, and of course to have plenty of time to enjoy our brand new PLAYGROUND!

Gate opens at 6:30pm with showtime at 7:45pm.

You can pre-purchase tickets online at: 🎟
