Chief Drive-in
Welcome to Chief Drive-In Theatre, located south of Chickasha, Oklahoma. Established in 1949, it holds the title of the oldest operating drive-in theatre in the state. Currently, the drive-in is temporarily closed due to a drilling rig being set up nearby, which has made it challenging to show movies. However, the venue is planning special events such as dinner nights and lunches to stay connected with the community during this time. The Chief Drive-In Theatre offers a full concession stand with great prices, and it is important to note that no outside food or drinks are allowed. Admission prices are set at $9 for cash and $9.50 for credit for adults, while children aged 3-11 can enter for $5. The drive-in is committed to providing a quality experience for its visitors, and while it is currently closed, it is not going anywhere. For more information and updates, visitors are encouraged to follow the Chief Drive-In on social media, including Facebook and Instagram. The contact number for inquiries is +1 405-224-1515.
