Drive-in movie theatres are inarguably one of the best ways to experience a movie. Pack your lawn chairs or stuff your trunk with pillows and blankets, make some of your favorite tasty treats, and lay out under the stars while the movie plays on a big, yet intimate, screen. You can catch super cheap movies at this Florida drive-in theatre and for way less than what you’d pay at a fancy theatre.

Silvermoon boasts an impressive lineage of being the first drive-in theatre in Lakeland, Florida, opening in 1948 and operating ever since.

While many other drive-in theatres that opened in the ’50s and later had to close their doors, Silvermoon has remained an oasis of entertainment in Central Florida.
