7 Fun Activities & Games in Poughkeepsie That You Shouldn't Miss

February 10, 2022 Nicolette Lion

A short ride away from New York City on the Metro North commuter rail, Poughkeepsie sits on the banks of the Hudson River. The close proximity of Vassar College and the Culinary Institute of America guarantees the presence of fun boutiques and fine dining. Main Mall Row, a group of 1870s Renaissance Revival storefronts along Poughkeepsie's Main Street is on the National Register of Historic Places. The twenty-two surrounding parks provide the opportunity to take a relaxing break from city life.

Overlook Drive-In Theatre

Reviewed By bostonienne

Loved this original drive-in! Unlike the ones popping up in empty fields or large parking lots, this is the real deal. Plenty of room for everyone to get a view of the oversized screen. I really enjoyed the hum of activity prior to the movie as kids were running and playing, people picnicking and having fun. The sound over the radio was fantastic. The refreshment stand and bathrooms are vintage but that just adds to the authentic experience. Plon on buying some popcorn and enjoy a great night at the movies.
