The Vintage Drive-In is the closest drive-in theatre to Rochester. It features three huge outdoor screens each showing a different double feature every weekend while the weather is warm. Movies are shown rain or shine. To get a good space it's best to arrive well before the movie, probably before 8:30.
They have a well-stocked concession area which makes pizza as well as traditional movie snacks (view the menu). You can bring in your own food and drinks, but you are supposed to pay a $5 fee to do so.
Admission: Adults $8.00, Children 4-10 $3.00, & Under 3 Free! (They only accept cash, no credit cards or checks)
Directions: Google Maps
Etiquette:
-
Drive slowly (usually lots of kids running around)
-
Keep your headlights off unless absolutely necessary
-
When parked, keep your foot off of the brake pedal
-
The taller your car is, the further back you should park (at the two smaller screens, parking is not on much of an incline)
Awards
Vintage Drive-In was awarded "Best Piece of Local Americana Worth Protecting" in City Newspaper's 'Best of Rochester' Critics' Picks Awards in 2009.1
