5 Ways To Make The Most Out Of Your Night At The Drive-In!

Get ready for a nostalgic and fun-filled evening at the drive-in! The drive-in theatre has been a beloved pastime for many generations! Our favourite one to go to is the Neptune Drive-In, in Shediac, NB.

Here's a guide to planning the perfect evening at the drive-in.

1. Choose the right movie - Take a look at the movie schedule and choose the movie that everyone in your group will enjoy. A lot of drive-ins will do a double feature, playing a family friendly movie first, and a grown-up friendly movie for after the kids fall asleep.

2. Pack some snacks - One of the best parts of going to the drive-in is bringing your own snacks. Pack a cooler with your favorite snacks and drinks, or grab some snacks from the concession stand. Don't forget to bring some blankets and pillows to make your car as comfortable as possible. We used to have a truck, and we loved filling up the truck bed with blankets and pillows! It made for a perfect movie under the stars.

3. Arrive early - The best spots at the drive-in are the ones closest to the screen (as long as your not in a truck or tall vehicle), so make sure you arrive early to secure a good parking spot. Gates usually open an hour before the show starts, so plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the showtime.

4. Turn off your headlights - This may seem like a no-brainer, but it's important to remember to turn off your headlights once you've parked your car. Not only is it distracting for other movie-goers, but it's also necessary for the best viewing experience.

5. Enjoy the show - Once the movie starts, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! There's something special about watching a movie outdoors on a warm summer evening, so make the most of the experience.

So, there you have it - a guide to planning the perfect evening at drive-in! With a little bit of planning and preparation, you're sure to have a memorable and enjoyable evening under the stars.
