It appears that it was still open in the 1980s, but was gone by the end of the decade. It looks like the drive-in was demolished immediately after closure.

Actually, almost all of the drive-in is gone. You can only see a faint outline of the drive-in behind the Country Inn & Suites.

The lines just to the west that reach to 31st Street SE are from an auto salvage yard that was built on the property after the drive-in had closed. The salvage yard is closed and the building demolished.

2527 US-212, Watertown, SD will put you at the entrance to this old DI. It is visible in full in a 1966 Historic Aerial. Currently the road that the address drops you at is all that remains, but not for long.
