📸 Silver Moon Drive-In
Did you know Silver Moon Drive-In is the last drive-in theater in Polk County? Enjoy a double-feature night (TWO movies), snacks, beer, and just a very nostalgic and unique night in Lakeland!
Our recommendation: You can play the audio through your car radio or you can park next to speakers throughout the lot to make sure you don’t miss a thing. Get popcorn or a pizza from the concession stands!
📍4100 New Tampa Hwy, Lakeland, FL 33815
📸 Ruskin Family Drive-In
With a 2000-square foot screen, snack bar, clean parking lot, and good old-fashioned family values, Ruskin Family Drive-In is a must-go-to. They are open year-round!
Our recommendation: They honestly serve some of the tastiest pizzas, so come with an empty stomach. We recommend bringing lawn chairs and an FM radio to enjoy a movie the old-fashioned way with the family.
