Best of Drive-in movie theaters of the Hudson Valley and Capital Region



Enjoy a summer theater tradition

Here are the drive-ins that we found in our search.  If we missed one, please let us know at editor@excitingread.com. 



Tips for going to the drive-in?

  • Bring bug spray
  • Bring blankets for little ones
  • Clean your car window (who needs to watch a movie through bugs on the glass!)
  • Bring jumper cables (patrons sometimes drain their battery unknowingly, or you can help a neighbor who drained theirs.)
  • Try and buy your snacks at the snack counter (that's where the drive-ins make their profit helping to ensure they'll be around next summer.)
