The Malta Drive-In Theatre is located about one mile south of Exit 13S of the Adirondack Northway, and it's easily identifiable by its large flashing marquee. It's generally open from April through October, and you can look forward to enjoying double features on two screens.
2024 Ticket Pricing
Opening day at the drive-in theatre is Friday, April 26, 2024! Regular admission prices are $12 for adult tickets (ages 12 and older), and $6 for children tickets (ages 11 and under).
Note: In celebration of their 75th anniversary, the Malta Drive-In will conclude their 2024 season with a Christmas movie weekend on November 1 and 2.

Guests will receive a golden ticket that can be redeemed in the snack bar for a hot chocolate topped with whipped cream, and kids under 12 will get a special bell from Santa's sleigh.
