The twenty-two surrounding parks provide the opportunity to take a relaxing break from city life.
Restaurants in Poughkeepsie
1. Overlook Drive-In Theatre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
Reviewed By bostonienne
Loved this original drive-in! Unlike the ones popping up in empty fields or large parking lots, this is the real deal. Plenty of room for everyone to get a view of the oversized screen. I really enjoyed the hum of activity prior to the movie as kids were running and playing, people picnicking and having fun. The sound over the radio was fantastic. The refreshment stand and bathrooms are vintage but that just adds to the authentic experience. Plon on buying some popcorn and enjoy a great night at the movies.
