There’s something pretty fun about piling the kids into the car, packing some favorite snacks, and watching a movie under the stars. Drive-in theaters are a bit of a rarity these days, but there are still a couple of spots around Austin where families can enjoy that old-school movie magic. Here’s where to go, what to know, and where to find the latest showtimes.

Doc’s Drive-In Theatre is a special place to take the family. They play a wide range of vintage through present movies, and you can get everything you need to make a special outing…and even stay over in a mini house if you want to extend your visit. Doc’s Diner has a huge menu, from snacks, wings, and sandwiches to make-your-own s’mores kits. They also have Mama Merlot’s, where you can grab your favorite libation. Browse the full schedule and get the lowdown on everything happening at Doc’s here.

This drive-in theater just south of Austin is open year-round and shows double features of the newest movies. They also have a 50s diner featuring “car meals”, kids’ meals, and milkshakes! There’s also a playground where kids can burn off some energy before the movie. Check here for all details about their New Braunfels location (also in Lubbock!).
