Litchfield Skyview Drive-in

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at minndora@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Is there something we can do to help keep the Skyview going??

Absolutely! Our guests help us every night by doing two simple things.

1) Visit our snack bar. We have everything from stickers and shirts to corndogs, pizzas, burgers, fries, and all the popcorn you can eat!

2) We supply trash bags to every car. Please pick up your area before you leave! Being responsible for your area is a huge deal! We appreciate it so very much!

As you can see we are always working to provide a great experience for our guests! To that aim, please have patience, as we adjust and add a second kiosk in our Snack Bar!

Do you accept cash as well as debit or credit cards?

Yes! At both our box office and our Snack Bar. Scroll down for our full menu with pricing!

Can we bring our fur babies?

Please do! They are not allowed in the buildings and need to be leashed in all public areas. Please pick up any presents they leave behind!

My Children can be animals....

We understand. Please do not leave them unattended. Once the show has started the area under the screen, known as playland, is off limits. If you choose to send your teenage family members to the patio seating, remind them to not disrupt other movie goers.

Please note, we prosecute vandalism.

Broken urinals and poop covered walls means less fun for everyone.

Can I use an app to hear your sound?

Our broadcast is local, not via satellite. This means car radios or battery operated radios will work, but the apps on your phone will not. Tune your radio to 103.1 to hear our sound!

What are your parking rules?

Our are very simple. If you choose to not follow them or are unkind to our volunteers or staff members, you can be asked to leave. Escorted by our local Finest if need be.

You MUST be able to turn off your vehicle lights.

We can provide black trash bags, and tape, if you need to cover them.

If for some reason you are unhappy with your space or neighbors once you have settled in, you do have the option of moving, or we provide additional seating with speakers at our Snack Bar Patio.

Our FRONT ROW is reserved for low profile vehicles. We do occasionally allow visually impaired/handicap clients to park in the front row as well. All parking is first come first served. Once you have found your spot - park 2 feet, or closer' to a pole! Your neighbors may run their vehicle. If as long as it is not excessively noisy or fuming into others space.

If you choose to run your vehicle, and your battery dies, come see us! We have two jumper packs on hand just so we can help!

You are playing more than one movie. Can I stay for just one?

Yes! Admission is $7 per person at all times. Feel free to join us for the full evening. Most folks do! If our gates are open come on out. The price will be the same if you stay for half of one movie or all of of the evenings features.

When is your snack bar open?

We close our gates and our snack bar 10 minutes into the last feature. Occasionally there is a line at that point and we will close as the line dies down.

If our gates are open for a show, our snack bar will be too!

Your ticket price gets us great movies, and our food pricing keeps the fun alive!

It Rained... Can I get a Refund?

No.

We always play rain or shine. If we have equipment failure and can not finish a show, we'll give out tickets for your next visit. This has only happened once in our 7 years.

What can we NOT bring or do?

Great question! So glad you asked!

Pleases, do not sit on top of your vehicles cab.

Please do not, or do not let your children swing on our parking poles!

No grills or open flames are allowed.

History

The Sky View Drive-In Theater in Litchfield, IL is in its 72nd consecutive season of bringing you big-screen entertainment. This outdoor movie theater opened in the spring of 1950. The Litchfield Skyview is one of four drive-ins nationwide, that are located on the historic Mother Road, and has been since it's opening. It is also the only drive-in with that claim in Illiois. The Litchfield Skyview Drive-in is in the Route 66 Hall of Fame and hosts a Wayside Exhibit at the front of the property. This exhibit, placed by the Scenic Byway, tells stories of patrons and the history of the property. The original owners, Frisina Enterprises, sold to Mid America Theaters, and then to Norman and Del Paul. On March 1st of 2016, the Litchfield Skyview was purchased by Pastro Properties Inc, comprised of Mike, Debbie, Nick, and Mindy Pastrovich. The family has taken a more hands-on approach with the outdoor theater and can be found on the property whenever it is open. From coloring contests to scavenger hunts, graduations to school plays, they love maintaining the historic venue and being a positive supporter of community events.

Currently, you can find the Litchfield Skyview open every Friday and Saturday from April to Mid October.
