I’ve found a drive-in on the west side of town just north of County Road 45 at 1605 12th Ave NW
Owatonna, MN 55060.

Today, State Avenue runs through the middle of the property, but you can still see the outline and some of the ramps. http://tinyurl.com/pwf8gnq

Google prefers 12th Avenue NW as the street name.

A closer address is 1351 12th Ave NW, Owatonna, MN.

This puts it about where the entrance connected to 12th Avenue NW in a 1984 aerial. The original entrance road was further south, as seen in a 1958 aerial, but was completely gone by 1984.

It really looks like the drive-in had been closed for some time before 1984. Although intact, grass had grown on the ramps and partially covers the exit road.
