Ford-Wyoming Drive-In Theatre
10400 Ford Road
Dearborn, MI 48126
(313) 846-6910
map | website | comment

With eight screens (each showing a double feature) the Ford-Wyoming Drive-In Theatre is the self-proclaimed "largest drive-in theater in the world.” You'll have to hunt to find a suitable movie for every age group, and because the first screening can't begin until darkness falls, the start times may not align with the bedtimes. But it's amazing that this place still exists in the 21st century, and by the time your grandkids can drive it might be gone. Show them what it's like to watch a movie from your car — not in your car.

Info: Adults $8, children 11 and under $3

Hours: Shows start at dusk

Age: Elementary (5-9), Tween (9-12), Teen (12+)
