Van Buren Drive-In

The Van Buren Drive-In movie theatre is another Riverside Hotspot to join the list. It is Southern California’s largest operating Drive-in. Here one can sit back in the comfort of a car and watch as their favorite movie plays upon the big screen. It makes for a truly authentic, straight from the movie Grease, moment.

It has 3 screens (each lit with a double-feature), 
and an overall capacity to park up to 1500 cars. The Van Buren drive-in is open year-round and provides movie audio with FM-stereo radio broadcasts.

The admission: $5 for ages 12 & up and for 11 & under free. And during the weekends this historic drive-in theatre holds the Flea Market Swap Meet here as well.

The best part about this week’s hotspot is that it is just 3 minutes from California Baptist University’s campus at 3035 Van Buren Blvd. To contact the Van Buren Drive-in call 951-688-2360.

This is one of my favorite places to go in Riverside. A bunch of my girlfriends and I all get together and dress in our pj's and make a fun night out of it. We love it! Also, let's be honest, it is a great new idea for dates. I mean girls love the old fashion feeling, and men just love movies period. 

So what are you waiting for? Grab some of your favorite snacks, some pillows and blankets and head down one exit to enjoy the newest movie in a new way!
