It’s getting dark. The air is settling over the parking lot as the sun disappears over the horizon. The spotlights go off and the kids come running back to the cars….why in the age of digital 3D movies and flashy hi-def is the Drive-In Movie theatre sill worth it?
Nostalgia
Odds are good that if you’re over the age of 30, you went to a drive-in movie as a child. If you’re quite a bit over 30, then you probably went to the drive-in frequently as a child. It’s a way to reconnect with your past, and your parents’ past, and your grandparents’ past.
Prices
Drive-in theatre pricing is almost always cheaper than a traditional theatre, meaning you can entertain an entire family for considerably less than you would elsewhere.
Privacy
If you go to the movies with others, it’s awfully tempting to talk to one another, even in a whisper. Whether you’re the talker or someone sitting around a talker, it creates an awkward experience. At the drive-in, that will never be an issue because you’re secluded, enjoying the movie in your own little world, as luxurious as you’d like it to be.
Pet Friendly
Drive-in cinemas allow pets, so you can bring your furry friend along to enjoy the show, as long as they’re well-behaved.
Unique Experience
The experience of watching a movie under the stars is magical. With the open sky and a giant screen, it’s a special outing that’s different from your typical movie theater experience.
Bring Your Own Snacks (BYOS)
Unlike regular theaters where you’re stuck with overpriced concession stands, at a drive-in, you can pack your own snacks and drinks. Bring your favorite treats, or even a full picnic!
Perfect for Date Night
A drive-in is a romantic and cozy setting, making it an ideal date night choice. It’s more private than a traditional theater, and you can chat and enjoy the movie from the comfort of your car.
Social and Fun
If you’re with a group of friends or family, you can enjoy the movie while chatting, laughing, and even playing games in between. It’s a great way to socialize without disturbing others.
Support Local Businesses
Many drive-in cinemas are family-owned or locally run, so by attending, you’re supporting small businesses and keeping the retro experience alive.
