Pennsylvania Drive-in Theaters

Pennsylvania has 29 remaining Drive-in Movie Theaters making it the state with the second most operating drive-ins (second only to New York which has 30 drive-in theaters). Pennsylvania was an early riser among the drive-in movie theater states. It was host to America's second drive-in, Shankweiler's Drive-in (opened in April of 1934) which is still open today which gives Pennsylvania the added distinction of being home to the oldest operating drive-in in the United States. Within 10 years of the opening of Shankweiler's Drive-in, another 50 drive-ins opened in the state. And then by the peak of the late 1950's, the state had more than 180 drive-ins in operation. Since then, 85% of them have closed which is lower than the national average of over well over 90%. Today, Pennsylvania still has 29 operating drive-ins making it the 2nd larges state in terms of open drive-ins (New York is #1).
