About Kanopolis Drive-In

The Kanopolis Drive-In has served the central Kansas community since 1952, and in late 2024 new owners invested in a new 4K laser projector to keep the single-screen theater running strong into the future. Located in the small Ellsworth County town of Kanopolis, the drive-in operates Friday through Sunday evenings with FM audio on 101.1 and family-oriented programming. Admission is $9 for adults, $6 for ages 5–11, and free for children 4 and under.
