About Galaxy Drive-In Theatre

Galaxy Drive-In Theatre in Ennis, Texas is one of the largest drive-in complexes in the entire United States, boasting nine screens and a capacity that reaches 1,500 carloads on peak summer weekends. Opened in December 2004, Galaxy sits right on I-45 about 30 miles south of Dallas, making it easily accessible for the entire DFW metroplex. The theater runs seven nights a week, year-round, with adult tickets priced at just $8 and kids at $4 — an exceptional value for a double feature. Each screen broadcasts its own FM frequency, listed on the parking signs when you pull in. The retro 1950s styling throughout the property creates an atmosphere that transports guests back to the golden age of drive-ins. Galaxy's concession stand is a full operation serving the crowd on even the busiest nights. Arrive early on weekends — parking fills quickly.
