For the past two years, I have heard countless tales about how awesome the Jesup Drive-in is. The kids and I decided that we needed to check it out for ourselves. The verdict is in- the Jesup Drive-in is the bomb. This theater built in 1948 is the oldest operating drive-in in Georgia. From the car-hops to the black-and-white ads that run prior the movie, 1950s-era nostalgia is present in many aspects of the drive-in. All of these things are great but they are not why I liked this place so much. To begin with, the value is unbeatable. All showings are double features, so for one low admission ($7 adult, $3 child) we got to see TWO newly released movies. I spent $13 bucks total and we saw both Inside Out and Jurassic World. While the price was my favorite part, the kids liked the playground. The playground is right in front of the screen. Kids are able to burn some energy while waiting on the movie to begin. The playground even had a merry-go-round. I have never really thought about this before, but the kids have never seen a merry-go-round as none of our local playgrounds have one. They loved this and played on it more than any other piece of playground equipment. The only draw-back is that the first movie can't begin until it's totally dark, so we didn't get home until after 1 a.m. Poor Owen didn't make it through the second movie. Even so, we all loved the drive-in and hope for many return trips.
