Michigan Drive-Ins: Watch Movies At These Epic Spots
The drive-in movie experience is a casual and laid-back way to enjoy movies. Instead of going to a traditional theater, you can simply drive your car to the designated outdoor cinema area. You have the freedom to wear comfortable clothes and bring your own snacks and drinks.
Once you park your car facing the large screen, you can choose to stay inside your car or set up chairs and blankets outside. There’s no need to worry about assigned seating or arriving early to find a good spot. You can relax and make yourself comfortable in your own space.
The atmosphere at a drive-in movie is more relaxed compared to a traditional theater. You have the flexibility to move around, stretch your legs, or even chat with your friends and family without disturbing others. It’s a casual outing where you can enjoy the movie at your own pace.
One of the appealing aspects of the drive-in movie experience is the outdoor setting. You get to enjoy the fresh air, starry sky, and the freedom of being outside. It adds a sense of adventure and relaxation to the whole experience.
How did it all start?
According to the New York Film Academy, drive-in theaters have a long history, with the earliest ones appearing in the 1910s. However, it was on June 6, 1933, that the first patented drive-in theater was opened by Richard Hollingshead in New Jersey. Hollingshead created this innovative concept as a solution for people who couldn’t comfortably fit into traditional movie theater seats. The idea stemmed from his creation of a mini drive-in for his own mother.
The success of Hollingshead’s drive-in theater led to the proliferation of more drive-ins across the United States and even internationally. Within two decades, during the 1950s and ’60s, drive-ins experienced a surge in popularity. At the time, there were over 4,000 drive-in theaters spread throughout the country, with many located in rural areas.
Although drive-in theaters are not as popular as they once were, there are still drive-ins in business across the country, including some worth checking out in Michigan. If you’re looking for a casual and nostalgic movie experience, consider visiting these drive-ins for a fun and laid-back outing.
