The place:
I've never been to a drive-in movie that was hosted in a parking lot. I'm far more accustomed to the rural drive-in movies with great furrows with hills to angle your car on, but this has a distinctive charm.
Cars are free to park wherever they would like, though I'd recommend taller vehicles park farther from the screen for the sake of us smaller sedans.
Inside the building, there are bathrooms and some arcade games. There's a concessions counter, but I brought my own snacks, so no need to look too closely. I did see posters for pizza!
The "doors" opened at 6:30pm when the movie started closer to 9pm. We were the first in the pot when we showed up at 6:40pm, so we took a drive around the charming town to return closer to 7:30pm. Maybe half a dozen cars in the lot. There was even a puppy in the bed of the pick-up that parked next to us!
The location:
40ish miles outside Green Bay
75ish miles outside Milwaukee
100ish miles outside Madison
For those willing to make the drive out of the city, this drive-in is delightful. Located in a small town in Calumet County.
The service:
Quick and efficient! Pretty laid-back!
The price:
$6 for a double feature? Is there really a better deal than that? I was delighted. For this unique experience, we got our money's worth and more.
Next time:
I hope they show a classic flick, there's something delicious about 80s and older films at the drive-in. Why yes, I do intend to return! read more
