Skyway Drive-in

Fish Creek

50^th anniversary is July 26 of 2000!

The Skyway Drive-in theater is a small, but very nice drive-in located near Fish Creek in Door County. I made it up to this one a couple of years ago to see "Independence Day" and "The truth about Cats and Dogs". You have a choice of FM radio and the original window speakers! One of the local TV stations, channel 26, interviewed the owner last summer. He said that as long as they keep making movies, and people keep coming to Door County, the Skyway will remain open.

This theater is in excellent condition. There are reclined benches at the base of the screen and speakers mounted on poles just behind them for people to relax outside of their cars. There are swings and slides for the kids to play on near the bottom of the screen. If you get the chance to go to Door County, check this fine theater out. They also have T-shirts for sale at the concession stand.

June 11, 1999: Got to see "Entrapment" and "The Matrix" at the Skyway. There was a thunderstorm passing through the area around the time that the first movie started, providing a good light show and a few sprinkles. But it turned out to be a nice night for movie watching.

May 20, 2000: Movies for the evening were "Frequency" and "Where The Heart Is". Good crowd for the evening. This year is the 50^th anniversary of the Skyway Drive-in theater. The Skyway originally opened in July of 1950.
