My family and I visited the Sky View Drive-In while taking a quick, last minute trip to Lake Lou Yaeger. I haven't been to a drive-in since before Reagan got shot! So this was a GREAT treat for my wife and I, and our daughter's first drive-in experience! We saw "Hotel Transylvania 3" and "Mama Mia 2", if that pins down the weekend we visited. All my childhood memories of drive-ins past just came flooding back! Aside from window mounted speakers being replaced by an FM radio system, it was like the late 70's all over again for me! Plus, the theater is pet friendly, so it was also our Rat Terrier's first drive-in experience, too! We have a compact car, so we were able to pull up front row center. Best spot in the house! Our car stereo speakers aren't the best, but with others in attendance in SUV's and minivans with their hatchbacks open and decent sound systems, plus the speakers on the snack bar, the sound was excellent! The theater allowed us to bring our own food and snacks, so we were able to have a picnic dinner pre-show! We set up our camp chairs and secured our dog to one of the old speaker poles, and enjoyed the double feature! I think we will make specific trips next summer to see double features at the Sky View! So should you!!!
