If you're looking for a unique way to watch a movie, how about heading to Paju City, Gyeonggi Province for the Jayu-ro Drive-in Theater?

Located just about an hour away from Seoul, this drive-in theater operates every evening. 

It’s a perfect spot to wrap up a day trip—spend your afternoon exploring Heyri Art Village or taking a DMZ tour, then enjoy a movie under the night sky from the comfort of your car.

This drive-in theater features two screens, offering different movies simultaneously. During a visit in the first week of March 2025, ‘Mickey 17’ and ‘The Noisy Mansion (백수아파트)’ were playing. You can simply choose the movie you want to watch, park in front of the corresponding screen, and enjoy!

Since they show the latest popular films, the theater can get quite crowded on weekends. Keep in mind that tickets can only be purchased on-site—there’s no online reservation system. Be sure to check their website in advance for the current screenings and showtimes: https://carmovie.co.kr/current-screenings 

Tickets are priced at KRW 25,000 per vehicle, regardless of the number of passengers or movie choice. 

Audio is transmitted through your car’s radio, so make sure to tune in to the frequency listed on your ticket upon entry. Don’t worry if you forget—there are signs throughout the theater to help you set it up easily. 

One of the best things about this drive-in theater? You can also bring your pet along! Not only can you watch the movie together in your car, but there’s also a dedicated pet playground next to the theater, open for free from 5 PM. No wonder it’s a popular spot among pet owners! 

What’s a movie without snacks? The theater has a spacious concession stand offering a variety of treats, from classic popcorn and nachos to grilled squid and warm cup noodles. Grab some snacks before the movie starts and settle in for a cozy night.

With its immersive movie experience, relaxed atmosphere, and pet-friendly policy, the Jayu-ro Drive-in Theater in Paju City is a fantastic choice for a drive-in date night or a memorable outing with family. If you're in Gyeonggi Province and looking for something different, make sure to add this to your list! 😊
