A night under the stars isn’t relegated to remote areas where it’s so quiet you can hear the rustling of the trees and the hoots of the owls. Sometimes a night under the stars mean cozying up in the car – or on blanket on the ground – as you munch on goodies and await the start of the first of a double feature. For an old-fashioned evening out, make your way to Missouri’s largest drive-in.

With two movie screens and enough parking spaces for 700 vehicles, Starlite Drive-In in Cadet earns props as the largest drive-in theater in a small Missouri town.

Not a whole lot has changed since the early days of the drive-in - except today you can tune in to a specified station on your car radio to hear the film's soundtrack.

Moviegoers still arrive early to the drive-in to score the perfect parking spot. Some prefer right up close while others want to be just steps from the concession stand.
