Family Drive-In Theatre

The Family Drive-In Theatre is a drive-in movie venue in Stephens City with two large screens showing current releases and classic films throughout the summer season. The property spans grounds designed to accommodate numerous vehicles while offering facilities for activities before the movies start.

This venue was founded in 1957 and has operated continuously ever since, serving multiple generations of moviegoers. Its long history shows the enduring appeal of this form of entertainment in Frederick County.

The drive-in preserves both modern FM radio and original pole speakers, keeping the traditional movie-going experience alive for guests. Visitors encounter a blend of old and new technology that makes the past feel present.

Tickets can be purchased online, and guests may bring their own food with proper permission from the venue. The on-site playground provides good entertainment before the sun sets and the movies begin.

This is Virginia's only remaining twin-screen drive-in and can hold up to 500 vehicles on its grounds. This size and dual-screen setup make it a rare example of this classic entertainment format.
