One of the last drive-in movie theaters around. Plus you get a double feature for only $7.50!

Each screen shows a double-feature, and patrons can listen to the movie through their car radios. Although there’s a concession stand, many people opt to bring their own snacks and beverages. Some folks even bring small grills.
