The Sky View opened in 1950 and it is the last vintage drive-in still
operating on Route 66 in Illinois. Like most drive-n theaters in snow
country it has been in seasonal operation since its opening. The theater
can hold from 660-650 cars. The original owner/operator was Frisina Enterprises.
In 2016 is was purchased by Pastro Properties Inc.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
