Prince George's Park Drive-in Theatre will open at the beginning of May, with a few adjustments to facilitate social distancing. 

With the protective metal barrier of your car to keep you physically apart from others, one of B.C.'s last remaining drive-in theatres will soon provide a place to go in the wake of COVID-19. 

In a Facebook post announcing its plans to open, the theatre says it will be taking the following steps to promote safety: 

  • It will be limiting attendance to half capacity and using every second parking space
  • It will be opening more days per week. 
  • There will be no cash transactions with Interac transactions only, tap available. The theatre is also  working on a pre-purchase ticket system
  • The concession will operate through a checklist with delivery to vehicle
  • Social distancing will apply for bathroom use
  • Hand sanitation stations will be available throughout the theatre
  • There will be more frequent cleaning
  • Park Drive-in will also show only one movie instead of the usual two movies to limit social interactions
  • There will be a reduced admission price 

In a previous post, the drive-in said it was also looking at possibly showing older movies as many studios have pushed back new releases this summer because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Park Drive-in also says it will update on the mini-golf and go-karts at a later date.
