Drive-in movie theaters aren’t quite as prevalent as they used to be, but there are still a few left in Texas! One such place is The Last Drive-In Picture Show in Gatesville, and it boasts double-features seven days a week plus a well-stocked concession stand.

Open since 1950, The Last Drive-In Picture Show plays a double feature 364 nights a year (only closed on Christmas Eve!) As you can see, there's room for plenty of vehicles, and the screen is big enough to guarantee everyone enjoys a great view.

As you pull in, a flashing neon sight establishes the retro vibe right away. It lets you know the movies being shown that night and at what times they air.

Once your spot has been secured, turn the radio to 90.3. If you have a truck or large SUV, don't forget blankets and pillows for a cozy setup!
