About Pleasant Valley Drive-in
The Pleasant Valley Drive-in closed in 2022 and the land was sold in December 2022. Old Timers may remember this cute little Drive-in tucked away off the path in western CT, as: The Rogers Corners Drive-in. The smallest of Connecticut's remaining Drive-ins, it is also the oldest CT Drive-in that remains in operation. Very pleasantly rural, with a grassy field framed-in by a stand of tall pines, the aptly named Pleasant Valley Drive-in can accommodate up to 250 cars in a time capsule setting, somewhat reminiscent of summer camp and very reminiscent of the circa 1940's Picture Show in small-town America. This is an understated, unpolished gem of a Drive-in experience, which preserves the presence of the Past, allowing still a glimpse of that once-common rural small-town American Drive-in. Movie audio is now provided with a localized FM radio broadcast (87.9 FM) for its solo screen, which is usually lit April thru October with a double-feature; on weekends in spring & fall, and then four nites a week (Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun) during the peak Summer months. Admission: $10 per person for ages 12 and up; $5 for children of ages 6-12; kids aged 5&under admitted free. A Carload Nite is also offered (on Fridays during Spring and Fall; on Thursdays during peak Summer season); when the admission is only $20 per car, regardless of the number of passengers. Well-behaved dogs are accepted at this Drive-in Theatre.
