Welcome to Badlands Drive-In Theater. Badlands Drive-In Theater brings Los Lunas together for relaxed movie nights with a view. Located just off the main road, this drive-in has been a go-to weekend hangout for over 4 years. It’s a simple setup.
Our Cinematic Story
Since opening in 2021, Badlands Drive-In Theater has carved out its place in the local scene. Built by the Village of Los Lunas on the former Badlands Motocross Park, it transformed the space into a one-screen drive-in with room for up to 100 vehicles. Located at 751 Juan Perea Rd, Los Lunas, NM 87031, it’s remained a favorite for families and movie lovers who prefer a laid-back night out without the noise or crowds of a big multiplex.
Why Badlands Drive-In Theater Stands Out
Cutting-Edge Technology: Movies are shown in crisp digital projection, and audio is broadcast straight to your car’s FM radio for clear sound, no matter where you park.
Comfort Reimagined: Watch from your front seat, the truck bed, or even a lawn chair. However you roll, you’ll have space to spread out and enjoy the night your way.
Diverse Programming: New releases, old favorites, and family picks—Badlands keeps its showtimes simple but varied enough to keep folks coming back each weekend.
Accessibility for All: The drive-in format naturally supports a range of accessibility needs. The flat lot and wide spaces make entry and viewing easy for all.
Affordable Entertainment: Just $15 per carload makes it one of the most budget-friendly nights out in town—no per-person fees, no surprises.
What to Expect at Badlands Drive-In Theater
Think relaxed and local. Badlands usually runs movies on weekends, with gates opening before dusk and the film starting once it’s dark enough. Come early to get a good spot, bring a cooler if you like, and enjoy a community-style atmosphere where folks wave from their windows. There’s no overthinking here—just good films, fresh air, and a place where everyone knows how to have a chill evening.
