Still as nostalgic as it was as a kid 20 years ago! We got there at 6:45 to get a good spot, very easy process. Brought local takeout in but plenty of options in the snack booth or walking to the dairy bar. Bring bug spray for the bugs or buy it inside the snack booth, you'll need it! Always a fun experience and great way to see a movie or two!! Also went to the flea market on Sunday morning, it's gotten smaller over the years but always able to find something to bring home! read more

The Flea Market is the best! open on Wed and Thurs and Sat and Sun there are so many vendors there and lots to buy. New merchandise and antiques too. highly recommend You will not be dissapointed. Wellfleet Flea Market read more

This review is based on my personal experience as a customer of this business on June 21, 2025. Fun flea market on the weekend. Go early for best selection of priceless junk. Closes at 3PM. Classic Yelp... Duplicate listing with incorrect name. Check the web site. Read the sign. Fact check every once in a while. The correct name is... Wellfleet Drive-In Theatre. read more

Best night out for a movie and a portable bar on a summer night. Get there early with some local takeout and chill on the outer cape. Thank me later. read more

I've been coming here for years. Wonderful drive in theatre. Reasonable, good snacks, and it's a fun night out. Bug spray or wipes if you're prone to mosquito bites as I am. The Flea market is a must. New merchandise and antiques. I have bought wonderful antiques here. Sterling and old costume jewelry. And well made necessary things. Like good scissors, when they made scissors well that didn't fall apart. Scissors you buy nowadays are not as good as the stainless steel heavy duty ones made pre 1970. I kid you not. So for those treasures, utilitarian items, or a new pack of socks, go to the Wellfleet flea market and come back at night for a double feature at the DriveIn. Don't forget mosquito repellent! Great snack bar and dairy bar. read more

A little bit of heaven on earth. All the luxuries of the classic Drive In theater! Plus the flea market and indoor theater make this the can't miss spot on the outer Cape read more

The Wellfleet Drive-In is an awesome summer experience that recalls the "olden times" of rotary telephones, AM radio, and Schwinn bicycles with banana seats. It's a great family event that all ages can enjoy. I highly recommend bringing your own folding chairs, a cooler full of drinks, and your own meal. That being said, you can't beat movie theater (drive-in) popcorn, so go ahead and buy a bucket. Come early for the best "seating". read more

The drive-in experience is so much fun! Pro Tip: hang some dryer sheets in the windows to deter bugs! On a rainy day, they also have indoor theaters and in my experience the A/C doesn't blast as much as some of the bigger chain cinemas. read more

This was my girls first visit to a drive-in. We had so much fun. I didn't even know they still had drive-ins. We watched the minions movie. What a memorable experience with my girls. read more

So even if in your website it says your open hatch has to be even with your roof so others can see, it's not really true. No one follows the rules and then others who have paid can't see. So if you actually want to see the screen, don't come here. read more

A much preferred destination over the mall for seeing a first-run movie, despite no stadium seating (just awkward asymmetrical old auditorium seating), smaller screens, and kind of a remote location for us Mid-Capers. Why is that? Dated, a wee bit shabby, yes, but the staff are nice and you avoid the mall. Did I mention if you go to this theater you're not at the mall? Despite the equivocations above, the projection and sound are fine and the utterly standard concessions are also fine for what they are. (Keurig coffee available as well.) Just remember to turn in at the drive-in sign, then hang a right to get to the parking lot. read more

We came for the Saturday morning flea market and I really appreciate your clean ladies room! Thanks!

Screen is small, parking lot unorganized. Discriminate against trucks. Staff was so rude almost asked for our money back and we just wanted to watch Barbie in peace. Speaker system outdated. Snack shack looks like it could burn down at any minute, probably going to call the fire Marshall and make sure they're up to code. Overall ratings: Price: 6/10 was only $15 each not too bad Atmosphere: 3.4/10 Staff: 1.1/10 Snacks: tbd we're going to try a popcorn Screen size: 3/10 get there early to get a good spot Overall score: 13.5/40 possible points Will not be back read more

I haven't been to a drive-in movie theater in decades and this one was really nice. It definitely helped scratch that itch for back in the day nostalgia. The place is run well and orderly and everyone in the parking lot seems to know basic rules of civility. I'll definitely go back again next summer. read more

We try to get to the Wellfleet Drive in every summer. This is a great place to end the evening on a warm Cape Cod summer day. I highly recommend you come here at least once. There is designated parking for Trucks and SUVs, Beer garden, and concession stand. read more

Wellfleet Drive-In Theatre - Do as the screen says. - Antiques Near Me - Wellfleet, Massachusetts

Drive-in review Friendly service, easy to see the screen and the sound works great. Concessions were no more expensive than your average movie theater in a non-cape-cod place, and in fact the dogs and burgers are kind of a deal. We liked it so much we didn't mind that the movie itself was a turd. This place is totally worth it. read more

Very cool experience here! It's definitely a blast from the past- with the speakers for the car (if you don't want to use the car radio) and everything. People bring lawn chairs and sit outside their cars, sit on top of their cars, in back of their cars with the trunk door open... lots of possibilities. We didn't check out the snack stand (brought our own snacks), so can't report on that. Great family activity for the evening. We saw ghostbusters (it was a double feature with karate kid, which some family members stayed for). It's also an awesome option if your family includes dogs- because you can take them to the movies with you, in your car, and cuddle up with them throughout, like we did :). read more

I had wanted to come here for years, but I'd never been to one of these, so I was too stressed out about imagining how it'd work to go. . . so I'm going to give all the details. I bought the tickets online, which was recommended. Then, you drive through a little gate, and there's a MASSIVE parking lot - all cordoned off, and people show you where to park. We backed our pick up in, put the speakers in the bed of the truck, and then the kids could sit in the back and we put chairs out. I thought people would block your view, but it's easy to see, and you can sit in lawn chairs outside your car the whole time. I wasn't bothered by bugs. We ordered pizza from Fairway and then ate that while we waited for the movie. It started raining while we were there, so we left after the first movie, but we're definitely going to make this a yearly activity when we're down in Wellfleet. Lots of fun! read more

We did the drive in and it was a cool experience. The moon was out, which made it that much better. The only thing I didn't like was that the couple next to us were arguing really loud so we has to roll our windows up. We had the sound tuned in to the radio station and the sound quality was great. It was $12 per person. Check the website for movies and viewing schedule. We did the flea market the next day, hoping for lots of vendors, but that did not happen. Vendors were scarce. We went through it in less than an hour with not much to see. I heard so much about it but was disappointed with our experience. read more

Went last night to see Goonies. Good throw back drive in experience. Exactly what we hoped for with staff being very friendly, helpful and made common sense Covid changes. Snack shack had a long line though and food was very average. Should consider allowing mobile or call ahead ordering. read more

Awesome drive in movies. Big snack bar with lots of great options, clean bathrooms, plenty of parking spots. Tip - bring chairs to sit outside your car if you have a crowd instead of being packed into the car. And bug spray! read more

I've been coming to the Cape my whole life. I look forward to the flea market that has tons of vendors in the summer. It's usually $2 a car to get in. There's something for everyone! This includes makeup, purses, fishing lures, cape cod t-shirts, jewelry, instruments, hand crafted art and frankly, junk. It's enjoyable to walk around and get some sun. The drive-in is a must! I loved it as a kid and I love it now. Plan ahead and bring snacks and drinks (much cheaper and save yourself from standing in line). I had a nice night with some cheese, crackers and a bottle of wine with my boyfriend for date night. It was $9 a person for two movies that are newly released. Bring some pillows, blankets or chairs to sit outside. We got there at 7:40pm and the movie was scheduled to start at 8:20pm and parking was fine. **A great tip is to bring a battery powered radio so you don't kill your car battery and you can turn it up loud. read more

Wellfleet Drive-In Theatre - Sit on the tailgate up close - Antiques Near Me - Wellfleet, Massachusetts

I absolutely love this place. Drive-In movie theaters, unfortunately, seem to be a dying entertainment commodity in the United States. Reminiscent of the classic spots in the 1950s and 1960s America, Wellfleet's drive in is a quaint and fond reminder of America's entertainment history. I have vivid memories as coming to this spot a youngster with my parents. There's a certain magic to hearing the film's audio hit your ears through the car's speakers. I attended the theater for the first time in nearly a decade this past summer, and was happy to relive the experiences I so fondly remember from my childhood. We saw a double feature, Finding Dory and the Jungle Book (CG version). It was great to see families with young children attending. The playground equipment allow impatient kids to play while awaiting the moviel I was so thrilled to return again and enjoy this post-modern venue once again. Hopefully, I will be returning next summer to enjoy it the same way. read more

One of my families favorite Cape Cod activities! Pizza from Red Barn, double flick at the WF Drive in and call it a perfect way to end a day at the Cape. Only thing better would be for the concessions stand to have better options and perhaps a DEEP CLEAN, but frankly, we come here to watch a movie and kick back with the kids. read more

We took our two daughters to see Jungle Book, a movie from 2016. We were going expecting to pay no more than $20 for the car to enter, but were shocked to find out it was $11 per person. I can understand why a regular movie theatre would charge per person as only a certain amount of people can fit in the seats. However, whether you have 1 person or 8 people, a car still takes the same amount of space. Also, as I mentioned the movie was from 2016 and is available to rent online for $3. Lastly, the experience was subpar. The screen was very dark and when watching from the car if you open the windows there is a delay between the car speakers and the speakers in the parking lot. I really would like to know what they are doing with all the profits as they certainly aren't investing it back into the technology. Everything seems like it's from the middle of the 20th century. read more

Really disappointed in the Wellfleet Drive-in during this pandemic. I bought tickets for the drive-in this evening. However, my daughter was showing symptoms of a cold/virus. Instead of taking her, I made the decision to keep other patrons safe. I called to ask about refunds/rain checks and was very coldly told that all sales were final. Under normal circumstances I understand, but aren't we all supposed to be doing our part to keep our neighbors safe? You've lost a customer for life. read more

We returned to the flea market - this time on a Wednesday morning. I had a great time, found some cool treasures but my biff is about this place is that it was not big enough. Not enough vendors with cool antique junk. We were in and out of there in under 2 hours. Also there is NO SHADE at all so be mindful about bringing your pet. read more

Nostalgia!!! This place doesn't change which is what's great about it. Note it's no longer priced by car load but by person and cash only to get in you can use cards at food stand. read more

There are not many drive in theaters left - a whole generation has lost out on this childhood rite of passage. Fast forward to adulthood and your watching the 1986 Ghostbusters movie with sushi and a bottle of really delicious sake. Just because you grow up doesn't mean you can't still have fun, sometimes the fun just needs an upgrade. Re live some of your childhood - just remember don't drink too much sake because dad isn't there to carry you into the house. read more

Brought me back to the 70s, although I'm only in my 20s Beautiful location, big enough screen to see the movie perfectly, and the stars in the sky are just an added bonus to the experience. Good price for what you get. They also have a snack bar and restroom on site read more

Very laid back and delightful experience! Checks all the boxes: healthy dose of nostalgia, friendly staff, good snack options, throw back movies, and a decent sound system. Definitely will be coming back! My only caveat is covid related, I wish the staff preparing the food in the snack shack would wear their masks over the noses but honestly, I'm just thankful everyone had a mask on in general. read more

Tradition to come here during the summer. I would give 5 stars but this year was sadly disappointing. Only 60 vendors available when last year there were over 100+ selling some great things from handmade honey, jellies, jams, candles, jewelry, etc! This venue doubles as a drive in movie theatre at night, which is awesome! Some great flicks playing for the next few weeks but I don't have time to get down there for a back-to-back. read more

Drive-in by night, flea market by day, this so the one stop shop for summer fun. The flea market has a ton of vendors in the summer with items ranging from old tools, tourist tshirts, African masks, tapestries, toddler cloths, Avon products, antiques, etc etc there is a place to get fried and a hot dog and most importantly a beer garden. Shopping is much more fun after a drink (or two) after all. There is also a little playground of the kids get antsy (while you're at the beer garden ;). Saturdays and sundays in July and august have the most vendors (but be wary of changeover traffic on Saturday.) the flea market runs until Columbus Day weekend, which had 50 or so vendors this past weekend. read more

The drive-in is great (though pricey!), but this review is for the flea market. I used to go when my family visited Wellfleet, and we took our kids there just now on a Saturday. There were plenty of varied and friendly vendors. Look for the wood carver, who may be against the far wall enjoying the shade - he makes great local wall art at very low prices. You can still find random useful things, antiques, collectibles, jewelry, and other assorted bargains. A great morning. read more

This would a "must do" for your cape cod vacation! $13/person and we were able to see a double feature. Bring food and a cooler... or stop by their concession stand. You can listen to the movie through the sound of your car radio, or is their nostalgic pole speaker. read more

The Summer time on the Cape and this authentic (few left these days) drive in that brings back memories of my childhood and new experiences of summers on the Cape. Our family annual trip over Labor Day - ends with a drive in experience at Wellfleet!. My favorite thing that brought back memories of my childhood in Hamilton, MT Drive In - was the burgers and hot dogs. The burgers are simple, yet tasty and perfect for a drive in. I can't get enough of them. The traditions are long at this place and the only advice I have - come early, stay late and just hang out and experience a classic! Watch out - you never know who may pull up to you. One Summer - Harry Connick and his family! read more

I went to a drive-in!!!! Do you know how long I've wanted to go to a drive-in!?!??! The experience at the Wellfleet drive-in was delightful. There is no other word. When I came out of the bedroom wearing a 1950's style cocktail dress (complete with bright red lipstick and heels), my boyfriend (who knows me oh-so-well) warned that I could be getting my expectations a little too high for the drive-in experience. "Nonsense!" I cried, as I put on some Ricky Nelson music and pinned my hair. "I'm going to a drive-in!" Luckily, I was completely right to get my hopes up, bcs the Wellfleet Drive-In delivered. We got there super early on a Tuesday, bcs I was NOT about to not get a good spot at my first drive-in experience. There weren't too many cars there, but my understanding is this place gets crowded. It def filled up on a Tuesday night! If you're here on vacay, I recommend planning ahead. Eat dinner early and bring a book! Just before the film started (double feature for $9 people!!! [cash only]), Joe went and got popcorn. You get to butter it yourself, which is such a nice change from the fascist snack bars of modern cinema. Yeah, I said it. Before the film started, they play the national anthem!!! How GREAT is that?!? I was only mad bcs no one sang it. I mean, they had the lyrics right on the screen. I bet back in the day, everyone got out of their cars and sang. OH! and there is also a version of Let's All Go to the Lobby that plays. Complete with frolicking animated snacks. The screen was good. No issues there. Sound was fantastic bcs, even though there are AWESOME little speakers, you actually play the sound through your radio (oh, so make sure your radio works!) That's nice bcs you can turn it down or up if the scene demands (or I guess if you have kids and they're starting to snooze. I saw lots of people with little kids in their jim-jams. So adorbz.) Things I wish I had known before going in: - Bring chairs or camp out in your hatchback. Or own a convertible. Your windshield is going to fog up and it's kind of uncomfortable to sit in a car for two hours. If you must sit in your car, bring a towel. - Bring bug spray, bcs w the windows down, your basically a mosquito restaurant. I wonder if mosquitoes go to the drive-in on special occasions "It's our 10-minute anniversary, mosquito wife! Let's go to the drive-in and let the food come to us!" - Hell, you might as well bring a cooler of snacks or dinner too! Unlike the regular cinema, you could sit at the drive-in and eat a rack of ribs for all they care (no open fires, btw) - Know your car. This seems stupid, but I had a heck of a time getting the dashboard lights off w/o turning the car back on, which would have been rude to do. Ended up throwing a towel over the steering wheel. - Choose parking wisely. Most big vehicles go in the back, but that doesn't mean other peoples' hatchbacks won't be in the way. - If you and Little Susie fall asleep past curfew, start planning right away what you'll tell her mama and what you'll tell her pa, and of course what you'll tell your friends when they say, "Ooh la la!" read more

Drive In Movies, such a staple in my young life in southern New England. It's sad to think that less than 400 are still in operation. $8 for two movies (The night we went it was Up and Star Trek, bonus for being two movies we had not seen). The experience is like no other. You can chat if you want, snuggle up or get up and walk around outside without missing a second of the film or bothering others. If you are looking for something to do after 8PM on the Cape I really recommend going to the Drive In. Cash only to get in but the snack bar takes cards. read more

Hooray for drive ins!!! I used to go to these all the time growing up, and lucky for us, Matt J. finally got to have his first drive in movie experience ever at this very drive in!!! Yay!! It is definitely old school and a bit retro which I love. In case you like mini golfing before the movie, they have that here too! You get a double feature just like when I was kid for super cheap! I don't know how they can afford to do that still--well maybe it is because their snacks in their retro snack bar are definitely on the pricey side, so I suggest bringing your own and bringing your own wine or beer in the car too! They definitely don't check here, and there is nothing quite like a little double feature with a little popcorn and wine I say. But seriously, remember that old school "Let's go out to the kitchen and grab ourselves a snack" cartoon? When you walk into this snack spot at this theater you will think you are living in that cartoon which is just plain awesome. The freedom of listening to the speakers outside or turning on the movie in your car is just pure movie bliss. I only wish they had one of these places in Boston. read more
