The Southington Drive-In is one of only three remaining outdoor venues in the state. Originally, the facility opened in 1955 as a for-profit business and featured movies for nearly half a century before closing in 2002. In 2004, Southington residents voted to purchase the property to expand nearby Recreation Park and enjoy continued outdoor activities at the nostalgic site.

Gates open at 6 p.m. Movies begin at dark. $12 a carload for Southington residents; $18 a carload for non-residents. Walk-ins are $3 each. Cash only. No alcohol or dogs are allowed. Food trucks, including ice cream, are available along with freshly popped popcorn.
