Pop that popcorn and get settled in your car seat — we’re gonna take you to the drive-in right outside of Chattanooga.

The Wilderness Outdoor Movie Theater, located in Trenton, GA (~15 minutes from downtown), has officially opened for its 2023 season on the weekends.

With two screens that each feature two movies, folks can experience a night under the stars from the comfort of their car — or set up a blanket and chairs. The theater shows a wide range of films that accommodate family-friendly + more mature content, so there is a space for everyone.

For only $7 a person (ages three and under are free), you can watch both movies on the screen of your choosing. They also have a concession stand on site with classic snacks + food like burgers. Note: the theater is cash only.

Not sure about you, but I’ll take one ticket, please.
