49er Drive-In Theatre

Sitting on North Calumet Avenue in Valparaiso, the 49er Drive-In Theatre is northwest Indiana's classic outdoor movie destination. The single-screen theater broadcasts audio over 88.5 FM so you tune in and let the sound fill your car while the film lights up the night sky. Admission runs $10 for adults and $5 for children, keeping it accessible for families throughout Porter County. The 49er operates seasonally from spring through fall, bringing blockbusters and family favorites to one of the Chicago metro area's closest drive-in options. The concession stand and welcoming atmosphere make every visit a special evening out.
