Back in Time
How many people can say they have experienced a drive-in
movie? Today not many people because there are only 366 open drive-in
movie theaters left in the United States. This is compared to the
existence of 4000 drive-in movie theaters at the peak of the drive-in industry
in 1958.
Drive-In Movie Theater Benefits:
- Double Feature Admission Pricing
- Affordable Concessions
- Unique & Relaxed Atmosphere
- Quality Family Time
- Most Drive-Ins are Pet Friendly
This weekend I decided to experience a drive-in movie with
my friends and had the best time. I went to the Ford Drive-In located in
Dearborn, Michigan which is considered the largest drive-in in the world. The Ford Drive-In always has newly released
movies playing and offers many different show times throughout the week and on
weekends. I would absolutely recommend you experience a
drive-in movie one time in your life because it is a movie experience like no
other.

Ive never been to a drive in. it sounds like a lot of fun. I remember when I was a little kid, and we would go to my grandparents, there was a drive in that we would pass that you could see from the highway, we would always try to see what was playing as we passed by.
ReplyDeleteJeff, I totally recommend Drive-In Movie Theaters. It is a very unique experience and I think you would have a great time as long as you choose the right movie to go see. The pricing is competitive and the movie sounds are projected right through the radio and speakers in your car. I had a really good time and I will for sure go again.
