Our Story
The Comanche Drive In is located 3 miles west of Buena Vista, Colorado on Highway 306. It is one of about 335 drive ins left in the country, and one of 8 remaining in Colorado.
Nestled at the head of the Arkansas Valley, at an elevation of 8000 ft, surrounded by magnificent peaks, the Comanche is not only noted for its beautiful view, but is also the highest in elevation of any Drive In in the US.
The Comanche was built in 1966 by John and Pearl Groy, and had its first full season in 1967. It has remained a family business since that time.
