Best Family Outing

Pueblo’s Mesa Drive In

Gold: Mesa Drive In

2625 Santa Fe, (719) 542-3345

Load the kids in the car, pack a blanket and maybe a lawn chair, and get ready to see why the Mesa Drive In is the winner of this year’s Best Family Outing. Grab some popcorn and catch up on Hollywood’s latest features at one of just 350 drive-in theaters left in the country. Since 1951, people in Pueblo have been watching movies al fresco and the tradition continues. Their motto is when the lights go out the fun begins, and from what we can see it’s true. Complete with a full-service snack bar and three different screens to choose from, there is always something for families to see.
