In fact, there were a few times that I looked around and it was so dark and still that the only thing I could hear was the movie, and the only thing I could see was the screen, the moon and the stars (and Mars!). There was a lot of activity in the parking lot for the first 15 minutes of the movie, but then everyone seemed to settle down. We, however, were nestled together on an inflatable mattress tucked into the bed of my husband’s truck (it was his brilliant idea, and it was utterly cozy). Looking around, I saw many people sitting on folding chairs outside their vehicles, but some remained inside their vehicles with the windows down. Next time, we will bring a radio so we don’t have to use the truck’s battery. So, we tuned our truck’s radio to 106.5 and opened the windows so we could hear it. You see, the last time I went to a drive-in I was a teenager, and the movie’s sound came through the speaker next to our car.īut technology has changed over the past few decades, and the drive-in now uses radio frequency to broadcast the movie’s sound. There are steel posts next to each parking space, and I looked at ours to see where the speaker was located. We parked in the center, about five rows from the back of the lot, and we had a good view of the screen. I couldn’t have picked a more perfect first drive-in movie for my kids besides Godzilla, right? Check out this photo of the overgrown lizard’s foot demolishing part of San Francisco. Our double feature was Godzillaand Blended. That’s even cheaper than the cost of a matinee at a regular movie theater!

Besides, being in line allowed us to take some photos of the cool vintage neon sign.Īnother magical quality about 66 Drive-In Theatre is the price of admission:it cost less than $25 for the four of us to be able to see two movies. We arrived five minutes after the gates opened ( almost on time), and here’s what the line looked like.ĭaunting, but it moved quickly. Hers was the last car let in, so she advised me to get there when the gates opened. A friend of mine had been there a few weeks ago and arrived 20 minutes before the movie began. ![]() Call or check the website for times before you go, as they are adjusted according to sunset times. The gates open an hour before the movie begins. The movies that are selected are family-friendly, and are posted on the drive-in’s website by the Tuesday before the weekend that they are played.
