About Showboat Drive-In

Welcome to Showboat Drive-In, a beloved two-screen outdoor theater in Hockley, just outside Houston. Opened in 2006, this classic drive-in offers a simple, family-friendly movie night under the stars. With on-site parking for each screen and audio broadcast over FM radio, you’ll enjoy a nostalgic experience without leaving your car. The venue was a community staple, serving as a graduation venue during the COVID era and continuing to operate with plans to reopen at a new location in 2026.

We’ve got you covered with practical details to help you plan your visit, from seating to parking, transportation, and nearby hotels and dining options. Whether you’re a local or visiting the Houston area, you can rely on us to secure your seats and confirm showtimes.

Showboat Drive-In accommodates roughly 400 cars per screen, totaling about 800 cars across both screens. There are no fixed seats—audiences park their cars in front of each screen and listen to the movie via FM broadcast (typical frequencies include 98.9 and 98.1 FM). The venue is primarily accessed by car, with common routes including US-290 and FM 2920. When planning a visit, consider nearby lodging like Fairfield Inn & Suites Waller, Sleep Inn & Suites Waller, and Comfort Inn & Suites Tomball Medical Center. For a convenient trip, we’ve highlighted affiliate hotel and dining partners to help you secure comfortable stays and easy meals before or after the show.

Note: The property was sold with plans to reopen at a new location in 2026. If a show is listed as RESCHEDULED or Date to be announced, we provide the latest verifiable information below.
