General Info

We are a two screen drive-in theatre, offering first run movie features at "Family Affordable Prices". We have a double feature policy (offering movie patrons two-first run films per night; per screen) for one low admission price! The Family Drive-In was built by The Dalke family and opened on June 14, 1956. The theatre is currently in its 60th year of operation! We are the only remaining drive-in theatre in the Washington metropolitan area. You can find us in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, just 7 miles south of Winchester, Virginia on I-81! (Exit 307-Stephens City) We are any easy ride from the Washington area via I-66 to I-81 or I-70 in Maryland to I-81 South. Our theatre offers many "classic" features, including a playground for the children, car speakers, retro pre-show music....as well as "modern" features, including digital projection, movie stereo sound (via your car radio), and a full line of concessions to meet everyone's desire! Experiencing a night at the drive-in is so much different than seeing a movie at the local multiplex.... it is very much like a tailgate party at a sporting event. When you combine the movies; family & friends; your dog; being able to read, listen to music or play ball or games before the movies; enjoying some great food from our concession stand; sitting under "the stars" or a bright moon; enjoying a true American classic "drive-in theatre"..... It all makes seeing a movie with us an event that is memorable! Throughout the year, we offer many family-oriented events, and classic car shows and nights--so check out our Promotions page for event information! Need driving directions to our theatre?
