Tips & Tricks for the Drive-In Theater

To make the most out of your drive-in movie night, here are a few tips and tricks.
Be sure to do these things before you arrive:
- Go to the bathroom. With COVID and social distancing, public restrooms might not be open.
- Eat something healthy and/or bring your snacks: the snack bar will only have candy and treats, and it may not even be open due to COVID.
Be sure to bring the following:
- Cash for the snack bar.
- Garbage bags for easy clean-up.
- Sippy cups or cups with lids so the back seat doesn’t get sticky.
- Coloring books, crayons, pens for pre-movie doldrums.
- A board game the family can play if there’s a spot to spread a blanket.
- Wipes (but you never leave home without those).
