Drive-in movie theaters might seem like a thing of the past. However, if you are nostalgic for sitting in your car and watching a flick outdoors, you can still go to a few in the United States. A drive-in movie theater night can be a fun way to spend a summer evening with your family and it may be cheaper than a traditional movie theater.

Here are some of the best drive-in movie theaters that are still around in America. Do you still have one near you?

Ohio

There are several still in action here in Ohio, but the one in Wintersville gets our nod. The first feature starts at dusk and the second will follow after a brief intermission between features. They even offer their own radio station to sync up all of the vehicles before the feature. It’s a great way to make blanket announcements to all cars, but it’s also important in setting the mood for a proper drive-in experience.
