A great collection of cars. But they also have a ton of unique CHAIRS scattered around the display rooms. 😂 Plus a really cute dog chilling at the ticket booth. Extensive gift shop, nice bathrooms, and friendly staff.

Fantastic spot for car enthusiasts. Even casual car fans will be awed. The car collection is amazing and the museum is superbly laid out. An eclectic variety of chairs/couches offer space for relaxation and contemplation.

I've been here twice so far and I absolutely love it! This past weekend was hoods open weekend which made it all the more interesting. If you appreciate any type of car from an old Challenger to a brand new Demon this is definitely the place for you. Incredibly clean, amazing setting for photos, and affordable! Great date out, family friendly, or just to go have some fun.

Fantastic experience! All of the vehicles on display were immaculate and this review will do it no justice. Friendly and helpful staff, nobody rushing us along or looking for us to buy an add-on. Great gift shop! Seriously, this is a place that I will be coming back to again, with more friends and family to share in the wonder and awe that is this time capsule / new archive of automobiles ranging over a century. Our experience lasted about 1.25 hours. * If you can, try out all of the furniture scattered throughout the museum *

Questions & Answers

can children do the virtual driving

Joan Martin | Aug 27, 2018
Sean Flynn | Aug 27, 2018

Yes. The virtual driving was the Xbox game Forza linked to a steering wheel and pedals. The seat moved forward to allow different heights the ability to reach the pedals. The museum is amazing! Totally worth going there! Have fun!

Karen Freitas | Aug 27, 2019
Cameron Slater | Aug 27, 2019

I don't know exactly, but they are easy going people and will probably just give you the senior price. I recently went up there as my own graduation vacation and he looked at me and gave the that student look. Ended up being $30 for me and my girlfriend. Well worth the money.
