Summer Weekend Drive-In Movies at the Roadium FILMS — FOOD — FAMILY FUN

The Roadium is reviving its classic 1950’s drive-in for a one-of-a-kind movie-going experience this summer. Every Friday and Saturday night, guests can enjoy a great film in this throwback retro setting, along with hot food, movie concessions, and more!

Join us the weekend of Friday, July 10th for The Wizard of Oz! When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy (Judy Garland) and her dog, Toto, are whisked away in their house to the magical land of Oz. They follow the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City to meet the Wizard, and en route they meet a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) that needs a brain, a Tin Man (Jack Haley) missing a heart, and a Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) who wants courage. The wizard asks the group to bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) to earn his help.

ONE (1) $25 ticket COVERS EVERYONE IN YOUR VEHICLE! ONE (1) TICKET PER VEHICLE!

*The same movie will be shown throughout the weekend — FRIDAY AND SATURDAY! Please choose your night carefully, because there are no refunds.*
