Shankweiler's Drive-In Theatre - Day Trip From Delaware County PA

 

Under the skyLooking for a fun summer experience that will transport you back in time? 
Well consider taking in a movie at Shankweiler's Drive-In Theatre for your next outing! 
Not only will you, your family and friends be transported back in time by the surroundings but you will be able to watch a new movie release from Hollywood.

 

We were there a while back and are happy to see Shankweiler's Drive-In Theater is still in operation, actually their 81st year! 

 

Visiting this drive-in is like stepping back in time: children running around the grass, people in their lawn chairs in front of their cars, the original concession area.  The hanging speakers are gone (you may remember them), the ones that hang off the driver side door, instead your car radio handles the audio. While the movie may be good, to me it is the experience of sitting in my own car in the open air surrounded by other car with people that makes the drive-in movie experience a fun thing. 

 

If you have never been to a drive-in movie or want to do something different with your children, family and/or friends, plan a visit to Shankweiler's for an evening under the stars and create a fun memory.  It is best to get there early to claim a good spot.

 

Shankweiler's Drive-In Theatre is roughly 60 miles from Delaware County just off the North East Extension of the turnpike. So figure an hour depending on traffic.  It is the longest running drive-in in the country according to their website.

We also have one in Delta that is historic and owned by the same family that started it. I try to get to one movie a year there.

Drive-ins have a certain essence that only comes with the experience of watching a movie in your car and over the radio and sneaking some snacks possibly

And also I will agree with that last comment about a simpler time. It's kind of cool that they still exist. Sharon Lee

Hi Laura Cerrano Oh you have to have the snacks!  No sneaking that!  Popcorn for sure!  Maybe some ice cream from the concession stand!  It is cool that they are still around.  We see some here and there that are also flea markets on the weekend.

Thanks for stopping by!
