There’s nothing like enjoying a great movie in even better weather — all in the comfort of the car or a lawn chair. Drive-in theaters are no longer a thing of the past. These retro spots have made a comeback as a creative way to social distance during the pandemic, and are still popular. Many drive-ins also welcome other modes of transit such as bikes and walking, and have fun food options on-site. To help you with your summer bucket list, we’ve roundup up all of the drive-in theaters in the tri-state area including New Jersey + New York.

As interpreted by the Four Brothers, drive-in movie theaters are “a symbol of American lifestyle and persona” and that is 100% right. This theater, although a bit of a distance from Hudson County,  hosts guests at its New York location. Tickets must be pre-purchased online to guarantee a spot. Guests arriving without a pre-purchased ticket can be added to a standby list, in case someone does not show up. There are movies every night of the week, sometimes including double features. Tickets cost $14 for adults with discounts for seniors, children, and vets. A single-feature vehicle reservation plus a driver’s ticket costs $16, and $17 dollars for a double-feature. Orders for food can also be placed online on the website. Additionally, on-screen messages can be purchased for a small fee. A happy birthday, anniversary, or even a proposal message can be written on the screen.
