There is a drive-in theatre in Tafton PA on Rte 6...Maple Drive In. Awesome popcorn. This area of the Poconos is very nice-right on Lake Wallenpaupuck.

Great topic!! Planning our next vacation now with drive-ins in mind. The wife and I had our first date at one in 1955.

Transit Drive In on Transit Drive (Route 78) in Lockport, NY (so named because it is home to some of the Locks of the Erie Canal) of which is near buffalo, NY and Niagara Falls, NY. 4 screens, miniature golf and playground, all sorts of food, celebrating it's 50th year in business. You can tie it into a trip to Buffalo/Niagara Falls area, then head to Finger Lakes or Toronto for a a really nice time.

There's one on Rt. 1, Saco, Maine. I think it's called the Saco Drive-in (how original).

There's one on U.S. 68 between Kenton and Findlay, Ohio. I don't remember the name. I've only driven past it, but it looks like very little has changed since the '50s.

I also think there's one in Springfield, Ohio on U.S. 40, but I'm not sure about that one.

There is one in northwestern Massachusetts (or maybe southern New Hampshire?) right on the border. It is not much more than a pasture on a hill, and watching the sunset while waiting for the sun to go down is fabulous.

We have the Big Mo in Monetta, SC. This one is popular in spring and fall and is about 30-45 minutes from Columbia (state capitol). Such a good time.

The one in Vermont, on the Mass. state
line, is called Northfield Drive In.
