Drive-In Movie Theaters In and Around Houston for Outdoor Movie Nights with Kids
While movie theaters will likely always be a mainstay in the fun activities department, Covid put a unique spin on the traditional cinematic experience by offering the drive-in movie theater a chance to shine again. Drive-in movies offer all the fun of a traditional movie experience with a retro twist; tickets are cheaper and often by the carload, some venues allow you to pop your own popcorn and bring your own snacks, and you get to enjoy a contactless cinematic experience. No more sitting behind loud patrons or being distracted by someone with their cell phone out. It's no wonder these screenings in the Houston area are selling out at record pace!
The drive-in movie theaters listed below are all confirmed open as of the publication date and offering a slew of movie screenings on a near daily basis. As other theaters reopen and pop-up drive-ins are added, we will add them to this list.
