There are certain experiences in Kentucky that conjure up all sorts of nostalgia and remind us of an era gone by. Hanging out at the neighborhood diner, grabbing an ice cream at a soda fountain, roller skating, and many other activities in the Bluegrass are just good old-fashioned fun. One such nostalgic experience that you can still have in Kentucky is catching a drive-in movie. While there are a few spots to do so, Sauerbeck Family Drive-In in LaGrange is brand new, state of the art, and yet will take you straight back to the good old days.
The Sauerbeck Family Drive-In opened in late summer of 2018 and is now open again for the drive-in movie season. Family-owned and perfectly located in Oldham County, not far from Louisville, this is a great place for all ages to experience this timeless outing.
The drive-in is one of the newest in the country and one of only a few in Kentucky. They have a state of the art, 4k digital projection, a GIANT 98-foot diagonal screen, and the sound is broadcasted right through your FM radio. You're able to enjoy the movies from the inside of your car, or bring along a blanket and chairs and relax in front of it.
The movie schedule is announced each Monday and you can expect to see all of the current blockbusters. For one price, you get to view two movies, which begin at 8:30 p.m. (Gates open at various times, based on the day.)
When you go to the drive-in, there has to be a concession stand, and Sauerbeck Family Drive-In has this covered. They have a brand new, beautiful building where you can stock up on snacks and treats.
The concession stand has all of your favorites, including popcorn, nachos, and ice cream. Outside food and drinks are not allowed, but there's plenty to choose from at the stand.
The drive-in is very family-friendly, but you'll want to check out which movies are playing each night. Tickets can be purchased online ahead of time, or at the gate if it is not sold out.
If you've never been to a drive-in movie, now is the time to try it. Sauerbeck Family Drive-In may be new, but it's filled with a timeless atmosphere and provides a unique experience that's just good, old-fashioned fun.
Sauerbeck Family Drive-In is the perfect destination in Kentucky for family-friendly fun and a nostalgic experience that takes you back to the good old days. Do you love seeing movies at the drive-in? Are you going to try out this new one in LaGrange? Share your thoughts with us in the comments!
