Roll up, tune in and watch classic films in these drive-in cinemas near Melbourne

As usual, Melbourne is well ahead of the trend, sporting two permanent drive-in cinemas across the city. For a while we had three, but the famous Lunar Drive in has unfortunately closed. These outdoor cinemas make for a cute date night idea, or for a fun way to hang out with friends (or treat the kids). To really complete the retro vibe, many of the cinemas also offer a snack bar service reminiscent of American diners (some will even deliver the food to your vehicle).
