When warmer weather arrives there are always some things Mainers look forward to. Beach trips, lake adventures and, of course, hikes! There are plenty of ways to enjoy the great outdoors, but that’s not all this state is good for in the summer. Don’t forget things like mini-golf, ice-cream shacks and…drive-in movie theaters! This one is a favorite. And during the summer of 2020 you can expect lots of great throwback movies to take you back in time.

The Saco-Drive in, located in Saco, has been delighting locals and vacationers since 1939. That means it’s officially the oldest drive-in theater in Maine and the third oldest in the country!

While cold Maine weather makes this place seasonal, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to pack in the fun when they are open. Plan on visiting from mid-May through September or October. Nothing here is firm since the weather can vary. But they’ll stay open as far into fall as possible.
