Moberly Five and Drive: Enjoy a night at the drive-in

One thing we love to do with our children over the summer is to take them on a trip to a drive-in movie theater. In some areas of the country, they are few and far between. We are lucky here in mid-Missouri to have the Moberly Five and Drive which is the only remaining drive-in located in our area. Moberly is located a short 30 minute drive from Columbia.

The theater is located at 3000 North Morley, Moberly, MO 65270 and the movie hotline is 660-263-2000.

You can also get the movie listings on their website at: http://www.bbtheatres.com/moberlydetails.asp

Adults are only $6.50 and children from 3-11 are free!

With only one outdoor screen, they typically run a double feature. We bring sleeping bags and pillows for the kids. Arrive early and you can get a parking space near the front and let the kids lay on the grass. Sometimes we bring our blow up mattress too! Don't forget to bring your snacks and drinks for a inexpensive night of fun!

Enjoy a summers eve night at the drive-in!
