Enjoy A Movie Under The Stars At Northern Wisconsin’s Last Remaining Drive-In

Drive-in theaters are not nearly as common as they once were, but they do still exist. And while we’ve still got a few drive-ins here in Wisconsin, there’s only one left in the northern part of the state. Luckily, it’s a good one. Take a look:

The "last remaining drive-in theater in northern Wisconsin" – otherwise known as Stardust Drive-In Movie Theater - can be found in Chetek.

Though modeled after a classic drive-in from the 1950s, Stardust was built in 2008 and...

...has been updated since. So, it offers the perfect combination of old and new.

A second screen, arcade, mini golf, and elevated viewing deck are among the additions made to the drive-in over the years.

Oh, and did we mention there are wagon train rides for kids? Even better, it’s only 25 cents a ride.

There’s also a concession stand, where you can stock up on classic movie munchies, like popcorn, candy, and the Stardust’s world famous ¼-lb nacho cheese. The menu also includes some not-so-classic options, like BBQ pork rib, brats, and burgers.

One of the best things about the drive-in is that it offers a much more comfortable viewing experience than traditional theaters. In fact, the Stardust encourages visitors to "wear your pajamas and bring your favorite pillow and blanket; it’s ok here."
