Make It a Drive-In Movie Night
Want something a little more nostalgic?
A drive-in movie is the perfect excuse to load everyone into the vehicle, grab some snacks, and watch a movie underneath the stars.
Boulevard Drive-In
Just across the state line in Kansas City, Kansas, Boulevard Drive-In is one of the area’s classic outdoor movie destinations.
The drive-in uses FM radio for movie audio, so you can listen from inside your vehicle or bring lawn chairs and enjoy the movie outside. Their schedule changes throughout the season, so check the current movie lineup and upcoming events before heading out.
And if you’re taking the family to a drive-in, this is where having the right vehicle can make the experience even better.
The Perfect Movie-Night Vehicle
A movie night can become a little more complicated when you’re bringing the entire family.
Cooler? Check.
Blankets? Check.
Snacks? Definitely.
Kids? All accounted for.
A spacious Chevrolet SUV can give you the room you need for everyone and everything you’re bringing along. Models like the Chevrolet Equinox, Traverse, Tahoe, and Suburban offer different levels of passenger and cargo space depending on what your family needs.
