One last look.

Nothing is charged in this preview. This is the screen your guests would confirm on.

The experience

A blast from the past, built to last.

Montana Drive-In opened in 2004 with one purpose: give families a nostalgic place to make lifelong memories together. Twenty years on, that's still the whole idea.

Three screens of first-run movies. A full restaurant menu, from fresh hamburgers to funnel cakes. Lawn chairs, air mattresses in the truck bed, the dog on a leash and the kids in pajamas.

Never been to a drive-in? You'll be a regular.

Everything you need to know before you pull in.

How does the night work?

Arrive early for the big releases to lock in a good spot and leave time for the concession stand. At the gate we hand you a trash bag and the radio station for your screen, then guide you in.

Your ticket covers one screen for the evening. Want to switch screens? Find a team member and they'll set you up with a ticket for the other lot.

How do I hear the movie?

Sound plays through your car's FM radio. Bring a portable radio if you'd rather sit outside; phone radio apps won't pick up our stations. There are also outdoor speakers by the building for each screen.

Where's the entrance?

It can be tricky after sunset. The lane to the right of the marquee is the entrance and leads to the ticket booth. The lane to the left, behind the screen, is exit only.

What can I bring?
  • Chairs, air mattresses, blankets, and games or toys for the family
  • Pets on a leash (they stay outside the concessions building)
  • Outside food or drink with a food permit from the ticket booth
  • No grills, hotplates or bonfires
House rules once you're parked
  • Headlights off. Not sure how? Ask any team member
  • Diesel trucks, lifted vehicles and vans park in the back rows
  • Trash goes in the bag we give you
  • Be a good neighbor. That's really the whole list
What if it rains?

We're open rain, snow or shine, every night of the season except Christmas Eve. Watching in the rain is your call and tickets aren't refunded for weather. If conditions are ever unsafe, we post the closing on Facebook.

How can I pay?

All major credit cards, CashApp Pay for contactless, and cash is always welcome. Card payments carry a $1 processing fee.
