Opened on June 29, 1951 with Lon McCallister in “The Big Cat” along with the Tom And Jerry cartoon “The Cat And The Mermouse” and the RKO short “Prize Maids”.

A closer address is 3825 Hwy Mm, Hannibal, MO.

This places it right on the Lorax Trucking Services which currently occupies the property.

Apart from the entrance road and general shape, there is nothing left of the drive-in.

It appears that the Sky-Hi closed in the late-1970s. A 1985 aerial view shows the current Lorax Trucking Services building at the same spot the concession stand/projection booths were, but the former screen next to it was still standing. Unfortunately, the screen was removed by the mid-1990s.

The March 27, 1954 issue of BoxOffice noted that the Sky-Hi had reopened for the season, implying that it was active by 1953.
