This is opening weekend at many drive in theaters and that means that full blown summer is just a few weeks away!

One of my favorite memories growing up was piling the family into the back of my dads truck and filling it with blankets, pillows, flashlights, and tons of treats and driving to our nearest drive in movie theater.  The anticipation of waiting until it was just dark enough to start the show was almost too much to handle! I loved being able to stay up super late, and be able to make awesome memories with my family.

Now that I have kids and a family of my own, I am so excited to carry on this fun tradition. Drive-in movies are getting more and more difficult to find but we still have a few gems here in Utah.  We need to keep supporting them to keep them in business and to continue making fun family memories.

Here’s a list of the Drive-in theaters in Utah. Along with helpful tips to help you plan your outing.
