Summer has arrived! School is over. The kids are back at home and they are already bored. Looking for something interesting to do with them? How about a drive in movie? Yep, we are fortunate to have one still in operation in the western suburbs! Cascade Drive in is located at 1100 E. North Avenue in West Chicago.  You can find out what is playing by going online to: www.cascadedrivein.com .

Grab the family; pack a cooler (you are allowed to bring food into the drive in) In fact, if you bring your own charcoal they even have grills for you to use in their picnic area!  If you want to be a big spender, they have a small snack bar where you can purchase burgers, popcorn and soda and rumor is after the first show they will sometimes drop the prices down to a dollar! Yes! They actually still have double features! Two shows for the price of one!

Cascade plays 50’s and 60’s music until the first show begins around 8:30. I can remember vividly going to the drive in with my family at the Harlem and Irving Drive-in in Harwood Heights. We would get into our pajamas before we went so my parents could carry us back into the house without waking us up.
We would go with our cousins and sit on the back of the station wagon watching the stars and sometimes even the movies! I am sure some of you have memories as well!

The prices are $8.75 for adults, kids (5-11) $4.75 and kids under 5 are free.  
One word of caution: They only take CASH! No checks or credit cards will be accepted.
The box office opens at 7pm and they are open seven days a week, rain or shine!
