History

San Diego's oldest continuously operating Drive-in Theatre, playing first run double features every night, all year long.

Specialties

We show current movies, double features every night, all year. Adults $10, Kids 5-9 only $1: Cash or Credit/Debit cards only. In a culture where family time has become so rare, and the price of movie tickets are breaking the budget, the time is right once more for the drive-in to satisfy the national thirst for affordable, good quality family entertainment. The drive-in theater is no longer a forgotten relic, but an exciting living history and, thanks to the South Bay Drive-in and other theaters like it, the drive-in is once again poised to become the premiere American movie going experience.

This is our last drive in theater! This is a great cheap date option or low budget outing with family! The roads are a bit bumpy so be careful when you're driving. It also needs more signs...
