Mendon Twin Drive-In
The Mendon Twin Drive-in is a beloved local gem with two screens on beautiful tree-lined land. Movie sound is broadcast over the radio in your car. The snack bar has fresh popcorn popped on-site, plus a variety of other concessions and an ice cream window. There's also a beer garden with a view of one of the screens.
