Route 66 Litchfield Skyview History

The Sky View Drive-In Theater, locaten on Historic Old Route 66, in Litchfield, IL is in its 72nd consecutive season of bringing you big-screen entertainment. Opening in the spring of 1950, the Litchfield Skyview is one of four original drive-ins nationwide still located on the Historic Mother Road, and the only in Illinois.

The Litchfield Skyview 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 the family of 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, scavenger hunts, carnivals, to community and corporate events,

they love maintaining the historic venue.

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??

Follow us on your favorite social! Interreact with our posts!

Stay tuned this winter so you don't miss out on any of the excitement!

Our guests help us by doing two simple things, when they are here.

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!

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

Yes! At both our box office and our Snack Bar. Scroll up 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. You are responsible for any "presents" they leave behind!

My Children can be animals....

We understand. 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 guests.

Please note, we prosecute vandalism.

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. We suggest a BATERY operated radio. Tune to 103.1 to hear our sound!

What are your parking rules?

Our rules 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.

1) You MUST be able to turn off your vehicle lights. Please check your manual, call your dealership, or visit you manufactures website for instructions!

2) 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 so TWO vehicles can fit between each set of poles. Your neighbors may run their vehicle. You may be asked to turn off your vehicle if it is excessively noisy or fuming into others space.

If you choose to run your vehicle, and your battery dies, come see us! Please come to the lighted employee entrance. This is on the Photo Prop side of the building. A light stays on over the door even when we have closed the snack bar, and we have two jumper packs on hand just so we can help!

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.

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?

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!

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.

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 do?

Please do not, or do not let your children, swing on our parking poles.
You can sit in the bed or back of your vehicle. Please do not sit on the cab or roof of your vehicle.
No playing on the play land area under the screen once the show has started.
No grills or open flames are allowed.
