What Visitors Say
Weirs Drive-In Theater offers an authentic slice of Americana as one of New Hampshire's last two remaining drive-ins. The family-owned venue provides affordable double features on multiple screens with recently renovated, consistently clean restrooms. While the facility shows its age with an uneven parking lot and some screen wear, the nostalgic outdoor movie experience and reasonable prices attract multi-generational visitors. The location near Weirs Beach adds to its appeal, though picture quality can vary depending on screen condition and timing.
