Looking for Socially Distant Entertainment? Here Are the Best Drive-In Movie Theaters in Houston

With the coronavirus pandemic at-large, it’s no wonder that 2020 has brought back the whimsy, magic, and popularity of the drive-in movie theatre. With better technology, delicious fare, and social distancing naturally in place, this setting can provide Americans with the ultimate safe place to get out of their homes and be entertained for a few hours. After so many hours of Netflix, it could be a welcomed change in your weeknight or weekend plans.

Here are a few things to keep in mind before venturing out to the drive-in theatre, however. Remember, like any outdoor event, screenings can be highly dependent on weather, with rain and wind sometimes leading to cancellations. Also, most drive-ins require that you tune into a latent FM station in order to hear the audio. Make sure your car has FM radio, or bring a portable one. For the most part, movie tickets at these new drive-ins are charged by the carload and require that you stay within the footprint of your car. Finally, if you must leave the car to use the restroom or order food, you need to wear a mask.
