Drive-In Theaters in Maryland

Aaah, drive-in movies are the most fun you can have with the kids. Where else can you take the kids in their pajamas, carry blankets and pillows, and even carry your own food, and watch one to three shows for one price?? It doesn’t get better than this. Maryland has experienced a resurgence in an interest in drive-in theaters. Here are some great ones.

1. Bengies. Located in Baltimore, MD, this drive-in theater offers 3 movies for the price of one, and allows you to bring your own food for a small fee. Their food offering include chicken breast sandwiches, shrimp rolls, meatball sandwiches and pizza. The screen is the largest screen on the east coast.

2. Bel Air Drive-In. Located in Churchville, MD, they are open seasonally so call (410)734-7788 to get the schedule. It has been in operation since 1952.

3. Bumpers Drive-In Theater This one is located in Eldersburg, MD. In operation since 2001, this is one of the newest drive-in facilities in the country that was built from the ground up.

4. Hagerstown Drive-In Seasonally open. Located in Hagerstown, MD, this is another great place to cuddle in the backseat with the kids (or someone special) and a big tub of popcorn.

The greatest part about watching a movie from your car, is that you can make as much noise as you want, (within the confines of the car), talk to each other about parts of the movie, and be yourself without worrying about whether your are disturbing the other patrons. Your food is guaranteed to be more filling and less costly and you can take a lot more people for the price of about one and a half movie tickets. Definitely a better deal than the regular movies. One of the main changes is that you can now listen to the movie through your car stereo. This is a wonderful family experience. If you haven’t tried it, do. I promise, it will be memorable.
