People come a long way for this, Muskegon...

A scene fit for a movie...

Seriously, Muskegon, the Getty 4 Drive-In is something you shouldn't take for granted. People drive hours to experience this nostalgic novelty. It's the sole remaining drive-in here in West Michigan, one of only eight left in the state, and the only one with more than two screens except for the Ford-Wyoming Drive-In all the way in Dearborn…

And it's a great deal – especially on Tuesdays, which are bargain nights: $5 apiece for everyone 6 and up, and free for the kiddies 5 and under (other nights, tickets are $9 each for those 12 and up, $5 for kids 6-12, and still free for those younger than 6). For this, you get to watch two new movies from the comfort of your own car, or outside it if you prefer... What else can you do for $5 per person, or even $9 each? It’s hard to eat at McDonald’s for that much anymore…

And it’s not just the movies: There’s an outside play area with swing sets, a slide, a merry-go-round, and other options for kids to have fun; an indoor arcade with several video games, an air hockey table, and other entertainment options; and a large concession area. It’s a haven in the middle of the city: a large, rustic piece of land ringed by dense woods where you get to experience pieces of Hollywood… 

Some years ago, the Getty 4 came close to closing, the land nearly developed into a subdivision. People from all around West Michigan came to show support for the beloved drive-in and help keep it open … It’s up to us to continue this tradition – and how fun is that?? Seriously, it’s hard to imagine having more fun doing your part in keeping an important part of history alive in your community.

See ya at the movies…
