About Malta Drive-in
With many happy returns, appreciative Drive-in enthusiasts have seen this venerable picture show through more than half a century, and can return this year to celebrate its 70th Anniversary. One of the oldest continuously operated Drive-ins in New York, the Malta was first lit in 1949 as an 80' wide solo screen with a capacity for up to 500 cars. Sixty years later, its capacity was extended to allow for 800 cars and a second 60' wide screen was added. Both screens are now lit with a double-feature during their season (April - September) on weekends during the Spring & Fall months, and 7 nights a week during peak season. Audio is provided with a local FM radio broadcast (90.1 FM for Screen 1, 103.3 FM for Screen 2), and some of the classic Drive-in pole speakers are still available for a nice nostalgic touch. Admission: $11 for the Adults (12&up); $6 for Children (5-11); two-legged kids 4 & under and four-legged kids of all ages are admitted free (dogs are not permitted in the Snack Bar area, and must be leashed when outside your car). The Malta Drive-in allows outside food if you purchase a $7 permit.
