South Dakota Drive-in Theaters

Back in the 1950's, there were 31 drive-ins operating in South Dakota. Since then most have been closed and demolished. However, there are still 7 drive-ins that remain open in South Dakota. Because of the state's small population, this gives South Dakota the highest number of drive-ins per capita than any other state. South Dakota has a ratio of 7 drive-ins for every one million residents. To put that in perspective, the national average is 1 drive-in per million residents.
