Keno Drive-In

This is one of the last few drive-ins left in the southeastern Wisconsin/northeastern Illinois area.

The problem is that they sit on land that has risen in value so much, that either the real estate taxes will kill you, or the offers to buy the site are just to tempting.

The Keno has avoided this by quite frankly, sitting on land that was not as desirable as spots north and west. With a number of housing developments being built in the area, within the next couple of years the Keno may not last.

The Keno drive-in opened on May 18, 1949. It now stands as the oldest drive-in in the state. The theatre usually opens in early May and goes until a week or so after Labor Day. I always have a great time here and the food in the concession stand is awesome.
