Van Buren Drive-In Theatre
Riverside, California
The Van Buren Drive-In Theatre is one of Southern California's largest and most beloved drive-ins, operating three screens in the heart of Riverside. A nightly double feature is included with every admission ticket, making it one of the best values for moviegoers in the region. The theatre sits alongside its popular swap meet, drawing crowds seven days a week for both bargain hunting and big-screen entertainment. Sound is broadcast through your car's FM radio, and digital projection delivers crisp visuals on all three massive screens. Adults pay $10, while children ages 5–9 get in for just $1 — a hallmark pricing policy shared by many classic California drive-ins. Open year-round, Van Buren is a reliable option for families and couples throughout every season.
