Drive-in movie theaters once flourished throughout the nation. At one time, there were over 4100 nationally, and Rhode Island had over a dozen. Now, Misquamicut Drive-In is one of two located in the state. Nestled amongst the beachline businesses in Misquamicut, the Misquamicut Drive-In has more than just movies to offer us.
Here is our take on the value of the drive-in!

Cost-Effective: We are all searching for the best bargains right now, and this is one! Drive-in theaters often charge by the carload rather than per person, making it an economical choice for families or groups of friends. This allows multiple people to enjoy a movie for a single ticket price, which is lower than regular theater tickets.
Nostalgia and Atmosphere: Drive-ins offer a nostalgic experience of times gone by in America. The open-air setting and vintage ambiance can add a certain charm to your movie night that you just can't get in a regular theater.
Outdoor Experience: Being outdoors can enhance the movie-watching experience, especially on a nice evening. The novelty of watching a movie under the stars can be a memorable experience. Now add in the briny-filled air from the Atlantic Ocean, and you have just made memories the whole family will treasure!
Overall, the affordability, comfort, and unique atmosphere make going to a drive-in movie an excellent value for many families.
