Mel’s Drive-In Overview
Take a pit stop and roll on into Mel’s Drive-In, themed to the 1950’s American Graffiti era of diners and drive-ins. At Mel’s, hungry park-goers can fuel up with popular drive-in eats including bacon cheeseburgers, chicken tenders, onion rings, and milkshakes. Plus, guests can dine in a classic vinyl booth or soak in the neon lights at the outdoor patio seating area.
