Wellfleet Drive-In Theater, Drive-in theater in Wellfleet, Massachusetts.
Wellfleet Drive-In Theater is an outdoor cinema where visitors watch movies from their vehicles on a large screen visible from the parking area. The venue stretches along Route 6 with designated spaces arranged to give all attendees clear views of the screen.
The venue opened in 1957 and remains operational among a small number of drive-in theaters that have survived to the present day. Its longevity reflects how this classic entertainment format has endured in the region.
This outdoor cinema serves as a gathering place where families and friends spend summer evenings together under the stars. The venue represents a traditional way of experiencing entertainment that remains important to the local community.
Arriving before dusk is recommended to secure good parking spots and prepare for the evening. The parking areas are marked with color codes to help visitors navigate and find spots suited to their vehicle type.
Beyond the outdoor screen, the property also houses an indoor movie theater, a mini-golf course, and an ice cream stand. These additions make the location a multi-purpose entertainment complex rather than just a simple drive-in.
