One of the greatest inventions of the 20th century, the drive-in movie theater, is currently seeing a resurgence. Arkansas maintains three active drive-in theaters scattered over the top half of the state.
With lower prices than most standard theaters, the ability to bring your own snacks, and an emphasis on family and community-friendly movies, drive-ins are excellent choices to entertain the whole family!
