It's opening day for Franklin's Milky Way Drive-In. Last week the Milwaukee Milkmen baseball team announced it was hosting the first Milwaukee-area drive-in theater in nearly 20 years at Franklin’s Ballpark Commons starting Memorial Day weekend, and now we know what's playing. Its opening week schedule features classic and recent blockbusters including "Jurassic Park," "Knives Out," "Shrek" and "Sonic The Hedgehog."
Admission is $35 per car. Tickets can be purchased at the theater's website, and food and drinks will be sold through the ballpark's concessions stands and from food trucks via app. There will be several ways to listen to the movies, either through outdoor speakers, the radio or an app.
More information is available at the drive-in's website; the complete opening week schedule is below.
