You can get the feel for the outdoors. It is great time killer. I love going to place like this. They always show great films on the big screen. The last drive I went to in the US was in Houston with some relatives in 1980s. When I heard about them in Oz, I had jumped at the chance see a big like I did when I was teenager on the big screen outdoors. I love to get big bucket of popcorn and soda. If you have gone ot these places, it takes you back to a time when America had drive in theaters. I love going to the drive and it is always fun.
I always a giant soda to with popcorn and candy. I know I can have picnic well. Going to these places is always fun. the trick is get there early because place can overcrowd quickly.
