It's a blast from the past! It's one of the coolest retro renovations in the Sooner State that will take you back to the 1950s. The Tee Pee Drive-In on historic Route 66 in Sapulpa, OK. has been rebuilt, remodeled, and rejuvenated. Not only do they show great current and classic movies, but they also host concerts and events.

But that's not all, it gets even better and more retro! Not only have the new owners rebuilt the old drive-in, they're also renovating several classic Spartan mobile trailers that will be on the property and available to rent. So you can actually stay the night at the drive-in, how cool is that? These trailers look absolutely amazing too, they're completely remodeled and updated but keep all their 1950s retro style and charm.

If you've never been to a drive-in movie before, you definitely have to go. It's an entirely different experience than going to the theater and in my opinion a TON more fun for young and old alike. If you grew up and went to the drive-in movies you can relive some of those great old memories, or start new memories if you've never had the opportunity to go. As a kid, I loved the drive-in and always looked forward to going.

Sadly throughout the years more and more of these drive-ins have closed. The Tee Pee Drive-In shut down years ago, around the early 2000s sometime. It remained abandoned for well over 20 years until the new owners decided to breathe life back into it. No small project as the years weren't kind to the old drive-in as it fell into disrepair. The entire property and structures have been totally reconstructed and remodeled.

Prior to the renovation, the Tee Pee Drive-In was abandoned for years watch the video

That's right you'll be able to watch 3-D movies at the Tee Pee Drive-In.
