The Sunset is one of the few places where folks happily wait in line to enter – the atmosphere is always friendly, and truly one of the last places where you will always feel safe. On any given night you’ll find little ones in slippers and PJ’s snuggling in blankets waiting for the movies to begin, dads’ playing ball with the kids, teens hand & hand, grandparents playing chess, a Frisbee game in the field, classic cars, lawn chairs and families everywhere. The Sunset Drive-In, located in beautiful Colchester, VT, is a gem! A wonderful family-friendly venue, great variety of movies on 4 large screens, 50’s style snack bar, very affordable prices, vintage playground with picturesque sunsets and plenty of opportunities to stargaze! Open April - October.

So if you don't have a reliable car battery, best to start car mid movie or bring a set of jumper cables!. The sound comes through your radio, not like they did in the 1950s when you hooked the speaker on to your car window. The girls did make a trip to the centrally located snack bar for some popcorn and treats as well. The price is right for 4 people - $20! We picked up pizza on the way and picnicked in the car once we arrived. However the floodlights were on and it was well lit so we could see lots of children running around having a blast. Under the largest screen there is a playground and mini-golf, but we arrived to close to our movie time to check it out.

Most people bring blankets and chairs, like an evening tailgate party, even parking backwards and watching out of the back of their car.

You park in rows and settle in for the movie. Nothing fancy about it, just 4 grass fields separated by white wood fencing. After years of saying we were going to catch a movie at the drive-in, we finally did! On a warm Saturday evening this fall, we took our daughter and her friend to see the latest animated flick.
