About Skyline Drive-In - Barstow

With a capacity of around 600 cars, this classic drive-in operates on car-based seating across two screens, offering a nostalgic movie experience with modern convenience. The site offers on-site parking in traditional drive-in rows and provides assigned car areas to help groups sit together for the show. Whether you’re a local or traveling through the Mojave Desert, secure your seats and enjoy a unique night out under the stars.

The venue has a storied history—opening in 1966, revived in 1996 with a second screen added in 2000, and continuing to attract film lovers with seasonal runs and a COVID-era reopening in 2020. In 2023, the Hi-Way Drive-In sign found a new home here, marking a refreshed landmark for Barstow’s drive-in heritage. The 2024 season kicked off with renewed energy and classic double features.
