About Starlite Drive In - Stoney Creek

Welcome to Starlite Drive In in Stoney Creek, a beloved seasonal cinema experience just outside Hamilton. Since its origins as Scenic Drive-In in 1955, this 3-screen drive-in has evolved into a modern, family-friendly venue offering first-run features for guests who want a nostalgic night out with the convenience of watching from their car. With room for approximately 425 cars, the venue emphasizes in-car seating and on-site safety etiquette, making it easy to enjoy a movie under the stars from the comfort of your vehicle.

Open in spring through fall, Starlite Drive In provides in-car food delivery and a snack bar, plus a playground area for younger guests. Seating is per-vehicle with one parking space per vehicle; outdoor seating is allowed in designated front-of-vehicle areas, and seating charts can be viewed through third-party sites like SimpleSeats for per-vehicle arrangements. The drive-in’s history—starting as Scenic Drive-In (1955), becoming Starlite Drive-In in 1960, and later expanding to three screens—adds to its timeless appeal while keeping the experience straightforward and unfussy, just like having a reliable friend in the business.

Beyond a great movie night, Starlite Drive In sits within easy reach of Hamilton and nearby Stoney Creek accommodations and dining, helping you plan a full outing around your film schedule.

For a smooth visit, we recommend arriving early to secure your preferred parking space, following the venue’s drive-in safety guidelines, and checking the latest movie lineup for the day. If you’re traveling from out of town, pair your film with a stay at a nearby hotel such as TownePlace Suites Hamilton, Four Points by Sheraton Hamilton – Stoney Creek, or Hampton Inn by Hilton Hamilton. For dining nearby, explore local favorites and affiliate partner options—we’ve curated reliable choices to help you create a complete evening from cinema to supper. If you have questions about seating or accessibility, contact Starlite Drive In directly and we’ll help you find the best seats for your group.
