The Pike Drive-In has been showing movies on US-15 just northwest of Montgomery since 1953, and its three screens each run a full night of features with cartoons in front. Admission is $11.00 per person in cash, kids 8 and under are free, and paying by card adds $1.00 per ticket.
The concession stand cooks to order, from pierogies and funnel cakes to pizza and chicken tenders, and outside food is welcome for anyone who buys the $10.00 per car food permit at the gate. Leashed pets are fine outside the concession stand, chairs and blankets go in front of your vehicle, and there are no refunds and no rainchecks.
