This is a seasonal outdoor venue operating during warmer months. Admission is cash-friendly and very affordable compared to traditional theaters. The concession stand accepts cards, and you can listen to the movie through your car's FM radio or bring a portable radio.

Operates seasonally from late spring through early fall, typically May through September, weather permitting. The drive-in is only open during warmer months when outdoor evening temperatures are comfortable. Check their schedule as operating days may vary throughout the season.

Head to Cody (about 20 minutes away) before the show for dinner at Pat O'Hara Brewing Company, which offers kid-friendly burgers and pizza, or grab quick bites at Dairy Queen in Powell for ice cream treats to enjoy during the movie.
