Experience an authentic slice of Australian nostalgia at the Mareeba Drive-In, one of Far North Queensland's most iconic attractions. Located just outside Cairns on the Atherton Tablelands, this retro outdoor cinema has been entertaining locals and visitors since 1962. Today, it remains one of the few operating drive-ins in Queensland, making it a must-do for families, couples, and travellers looking for unique things to do in Mareeba.
The Mareeba Drive-In combines the magic of big-screen movies with the beauty of the outdoors. Guests can pull up under the stars, tune into their car radio, or borrow a classic window speaker for the full vintage experience. With camping included in your ticket price, it's more than just a movie night — it's a weekend adventure in Tropical North Queensland.
Food is all part of the fun. The on-site café serves fresh popcorn, homemade burgers, and classic treats at affordable prices, using quality ingredients sourced from local suppliers. Whether you're after dinner before the show or snacks to enjoy during the film, the menu makes every visit memorable.
