Why Going To The Drive In Rocks

March 24, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

-1 Drive-in movies are a classic American experience, and we’re lucky enough to have two great drive-ins to choose from.  Whether you’re on a hot date or bring your family, here are some tips for getting the most out of your drive-in experience:

  • Drive-ins are cheaper than regular movies – for less than a ticket at that chain theater you can see a  double feature, so plan to stay for both.
  • If you want a prime spot, show up early.
  • Going to the drive-in on a date allows more cuddling and conversation time than a regular movie.
  • You can bring pillows &  blankets and get all comfy in your own car.
  • Children have room to move around and don’t need to be silent.
  • Kids can be tucked into the back seat at bedtime, and you can enjoy the late show.
  • You can bring your own favorite snacks if you want, or visit the concession stand.
  • You can BYOB if you’re 21 or over.
  • If you choose to, you can smoke in your own car.
  • You can bring your pet if you want.
  • Use the bathroom/buy snacks in the middle of the movie. Before and between movies is always a madhouse.
  • If you leave early, only put on parking lights to exit. Turning on your headlights ruins the movie for everybody else and blinds them for several minutes.
