4 Best Drive-In Theaters in Maine
Maine’s rugged landscape makes it a haven for visitors looking to experience nature at its most elemental. During the summer, Maine is home to several drive-in movie theaters scattered around the state among its natural scenery, including the following four.
The Saco Drive-In
The Saco Drive-In is located just outside Portland in the town of Saco. The $20 per car admission fee includes two movies, though you can leave at any time. Dogs are welcome, as long as you pick up after them and keep them away from the concession stand. Tickets are sold at the gate, not in advance, so it’s a good idea to arrive early to ensure you can get in.

Bridgton Twin Drive-In
The Bridgton Twin Drive-In’s location makes it popular with visitors who are camping the area, as well as local residents. The cash-only theater has digital projectors across two screens and routinely shows double features. While the theater has been a mainstay in the area for many years, it was recently upgraded and now features new bathrooms and a new concession area. Admission costs $7.50 per adult, $5 per child (5-11 years), and is free for children 4 and under.
Skowhegan Drive-In Theater
Open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights from Memorial Day to Labor Day, the Skowhegan Drive-In Theater offers a recently renovated concession booth offering typical movie theater fare, such as burgers, hotdogs, fries, popcorn, and soft drinks. It is prohibited to bring in food from outside. The theater doesn’t get confirmation on which movies it will show until 3-4 days prior, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the Facebook page for updates.

Prides Corner Drive-In
Located in Westbrook, the Prides Corner Drive-In first opened in 1951 at the height of the drive-in’s popularity. It closed its doors in 2015 as it waited for the delivery of a digital projector. The theater reopened in the summer of 2017 and has been showing movies using its new digital projector ever since. The field holds 550 cars and is open weekend evenings seasonally.
