Drive-In Theaters in Oklahoma
Got a taste for the old time drive-in theaters? Well, Oklahoma is still home to a few drive-ins. The largest operating drive-in theater in the state is, of course, The Admiral Twin in Tulsa.
There are a total of eight drive in theaters still in business in Oklahoma. Here's a site that tracks them:
http://www.driveinmovie.com/OK.htm.
The survivors are in: Chickasha, Guthrie, McAlester, Oklahoma City, Ponca City, Poteau, Sapulpa, Tahlequah, Tulsa or Weatherford.
Better catch a feature at one of them before they all disappear!
