Sunset Drive-In

One of the last remaining drive-in theaters in California, Sunset Drive-In in San Luis Obispo offers a classic movie-night experience at a family-friendly price: $11 for ages 12+, $5 for kids 5–11, and free for children under 4.

Tickets are cash only, so plan an ATM stop before you arrive. The box office typically opens around 7 p.m., with movies starting shortly after—arrive early to snag a great spot. Most nights feature double features, so you get more movie magic for your night.
Feeling snacky? The on-site snack bar has all the classics—popcorn, candy, soda, and more.

Hours vary by day (generally evenings until midnight). For current showtimes, call ahead or check the theater’s Facebook page.

SLO Life Tip: Bring blankets, layers, and comfy clothes—or keep it easy and grab snacks on site. Happy watching under the stars.
