• As many indoor movie theaters remain closed during the pandemic, drive-in theaters offer a socially distant way to enjoy a film with family and friends.
• Insider teamed up with Yelp to find the best drive-in theatre in every state. Its rankings were based on factors including the capacity of the drive-in and the number of top-rated reviews.
• The list includes a newly opened theater in Lewes, Delaware, and an old favorite in Wichita, Kansas.

Though indoor movie theaters might not be an option this summer, the nostalgic drive-in is making a comeback.

Since drive-in theaters allow moviegoers to remain distant from one another in their own cars, it's a good way for friends and family to enjoy films together while staying safe.

Yelp helped Insider compile a list of the best drive-in theater in every state, based on metrics like the number of cars allowed and how many positive reviews each venue received.

Hawaii, Louisiana, and North Dakota do not have drive-in theaters, and Mississippi's only drive-in has not reopened this year, so those states do not feature on our list. Yelp did not have reviews for theaters in Delaware, New Mexico, or Wyoming, but Insider determined the best theater based on Google reviews.
