Regular admission prices are $10 for adult tickets (ages 12 and older), and $5 for children tickets (ages 11 and under).
Rules of Operation During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are new protocols and guidelines at the Malta Drive-In Theatre. These measures are taken to protect the safety of employees and guests, and they will be reviewed and modified weekly as conditions change.
Box Office
The Malta Drive-In Theatre strongly encourages guests to use credit card and contactless payment transactions with the gloved and masked staff at the ticket booth. Attendance will be capped at 50%, and guests should bring a portable radio or listen to the movie using their car audio system.
Parking and Viewing
Please park your vehicle in the middle of adjacent poles to allow for 12 feet between cars. Guests should watch the movies from inside their vehicle (in seats, through an open hatchback, or from a pickup truck bed). The theatre will allow two lawn chairs between your vehicle and the screen, but masks must be worn while outside the vehicle. Movement outside the vehicle should also be restricted to travel to restrooms and the snack bar.
Note: The playground will be closed until further notice.
Restrooms
Everyone who wants to use the restroom must wear a mask or they will not be allowed entry by the attendant. Every other stall and sink will be blocked, and you must wash your hands. Restrooms will be sanitized frequently.
Concessions
The concessions stand offers a variety of food, including pizza, chicken, candy, and popcorn. Only one person of a party should pick up food orders, and masks must be worn by all. The theatre currently has a zero garbage policy. Guests must discard trash in the dumpster, the box office trash corral, or bring it home with you.
Note: You can purchase a food and beverage permit for $5 and bring in food and beverages from home.
