The Big Mo (Monetta Drive-In Theater)

Updated: Jun 16

Everyone should experience a drive-in theater at some point. It’s so nostalgic and is like taking a step back in time while watching a movie under the stars. The Big Mo is located at 5822 Columbia Hwy N, Monetta, SC, and is conveniently located about 30 minutes from Lexington and less than an hour from Columbia.


  •  Cash Only for admissions. Currently ages 12 and over are $10, kids ages 4-11 are $5, and ages 3 and under are free. The admission fee is for a double feature. Yes, you get two movies for this price. There are three double features to choose from every weekend.

  • Concessions are on site and pretty reasonable for a theater. The Big Mo seems to offer a good variety, such as hotdogs, hamburgers, pizzas, fries, funnel cakes, nachos, and, of course, popcorn, candy, and sodas—plus more. Cash, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and Debit Cards are accepted at the concession stand. You can also pack your own food to enjoy before or during the movie.

  • Adults and kids can enjoy tailgating before the movie. A kids play area is on site. Get there early and let the kids have fun burning some energy off while the adults relax and socialize.

  • The Big Mo is a seasonal, weekend only drive-in theater open from March to November. Check for hours of operation, movie start times, and the movie schedule before going. Gates open at 6:30pm-7pm or earlier depending on the season, if necessary. Movies start at dark. Get there early for the best parking and to settle in. Weekend movies are usually announced by Tuesday afternoon.
