- The Southington Drive-In is a community–owned and operated establishment and contains 1 screen. All Movies are G - PG13.
The Southington Drive-In is unique not only because it is one of only three remaining outdoor venues in the state, but also because it has been purchased by the town of Southington. A little history on this town treasure: the drive-in first opened in 1954 and operated for nearly half a century before closing in 2002. In 2004 the Southington residents voted to purchase the property in order to expand nearby Recreation Park and enjoy continued outdoor activities at the nostalgic site. They agreed to execute a new concept – that of letting local non-profit organizations staff each movie night with their own volunteers in exchange for a portion of the proceeds. So for $10 a Southington carload can enjoy a fun family and help community programs and initiatives within the Southington community to be funded. If the carload is from out of town it will cost $12. Walk ins are welcome at $2 each, but they would need a portable radio and a chair.[6] http://www.southingtondrive-in.org
