Go Beyond and Catch a Double-Feature at the Charcoal Corral and Silver Lake Twin Drive-In
Remember those childhood nights when you caught a movie at the drive-in, and you snuggled in your car with pillows and blankets, with your favorite snacks at your fingertips?
Now you get to relive those memories at the Charcoal Corral and Silver Lake Twin Drive-In, here in Wyoming County. (And if this will be a new experience for you, even better!)
Established in 1949, the drive-in has evolved into a cherished family entertainment destination. Originally opening as a single-screen drive-in, it expanded to two screens in 2000. The adjacent Charcoal Corral offers a variety of dining options, including a grill serving burgers and hot dogs, a pizzeria, and an ice cream parlor.
So, when the next blockbuster hits the silver screen, skip your “traditional” movie theater and treat yourself to something really special.
Let us set the scene:
You arrive at the Charcoal Corral and Silver Lake Twin Drive-In for an evening of fun and entertainment. From the moment you step onto the property, you’re energized by a twinge of excitement and nostalgia–and with good reason! You’re in for a treat, because this isn’t just any drive-in; it’s a full-service, family-friendly experience that offers something you won’t find anywhere else.
From start to finish, everything about the experience is fun and timeless. Whether you’re reliving childhood memories or experiencing a drive-in for the first time, you’ll be blown away by the Corral’s offerings.
Plan to arrive about an hour and a half before the first movie starts–it’ll give you plenty of time to pick the perfect parking spot. Once you’re settled, head to the snack bar, or make your way to the Corral for selections from their full grill, pizza parlor or ice cream stand.
Pro tip: If you’re looking to maximize your experience even more, give yourself extra time before the movie to enjoy service at the on-site restaurant, or a few rounds of mini-golf!
Once you’re all set, bring your refreshments to your car and settle in for your first movie. As the movie begins, you may notice the lot filling up, but no worries–there’s no crowding between cars, and you’ll have plenty of space to relax and enjoy the movie. Feel free to use a lawn chair as well!
As the night goes on and the second movie begins, you might feel inclined to curl up in your car as it starts to get cooler–so grab your blanket, put on your layers and enjoy that magical feeling that rushes over you as you enjoy the second feature. You’ll feel a sense of adventure, just like the good old days when drive-ins were the go-to spot for evening fun.
You won’t want the evening to end–but when it does, you’ll leave with a smile on your face and memories you won’t forget.
The fun doesn’t end once the credits are rolling... The Charcoal Corral also offers exciting events for car lovers and music enthusiasts; on select Thursdays in the spring and summer, their Cruise Nights bring classic cars, trucks and motorcycles in a lively, family-friendly setting. For music lovers, they offer free live music on Tuesdays with an exciting lineup of performances. And the kids will love the giant inflatables when they’re up (weather permitting).
Whether you’re a family looking for a fun outing, a couple in search of a unique date night, or a solo traveler looking to treat yourself to an entertaining evening, a visit to the Charcoal Corral and Silver Lake Twin Drive-In is sure to be an experience you’ll want to repeat!
