We visited the museum on Friday morning 🚘 Museum had ample parking spots but need to pay for parking 🚘 no queue to buy entry tickets 🚘It takes around 2 to 2:30 hours to see the Four floors of cars exhibits, my 8-year-old enjoyed seeing the cars. Clean museum 🚘 racing simulators and a slot car track for additional free. The staffs here are so friendly 🚘Food court didn't have many vegetarian options. The grilled cheese was good but the veggie sandwich was cold and not so good

Cool place. Worth the price of admission. I took my 5 year old. He makes so many cars because he has watched the Cars movies. Just about every car in that movie is found here. You go up and down ramps in the middle of the building and see cars throughout all of history. There’s a spot to color a picture of your own car as well as a pinewood derby track at the bottom. One of the other fun exhibits was half of a for mustang that you could turn the wheel. The kids loved it.

I took my boyfriend for his birthday present because he loves cars and history. It was a great experience! There was even a guy walking around giving random trivia which we really appreciate! I wish I caught his name. We brought our little baby but there was a fantastic kid area that I can't wait to show her when she's older!

Visited there for the first time and had a good experience. A really nice car collection. Four floors of exhibits, which include racing simulators and a slot car track. These cost a nominal extra fee though. A volunteer came along with us for the first two levels and provided some interesting background on the cars. Parking is an additional cost, but is close. Very clean facility. Will go back again at some point, as the collection changes.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

1. Do tickets HAVE to be bought in advance or at the door? 2. Is there public parkinging nearby? 3. Am I able to use the tickets whenever? Or just on specific days?

anne Skinner | Aug 16, 2019
George Ftikas Jr (InSanctum) | Aug 16, 2019

1. As Vitaly said, you do not need to purchase tickets in advance. If you like motion simulators, I would highly recommend the Day at the Museum package. Saves you at least $6 instead of buying a ticket down in the simulator area. 2. The museum parking lot usually costs $5, but can fluctuate a bit depending on events in the area. If you have a dome parking pass, you can park in the Dome's A Lot at no charge, but this also varies with events. The Tacoma Dome transit station is nearby, so you could park for free there and take the 5 minute walk up to the museum. 3. Most tickets can be redeemed at anytime, but look carefully at the ticket you choose/have as they may have an expiration date. Hope this helps!

Are there bugattis or koenigseggs there?

Timothy So | Aug 16, 2018
michael martin | Aug 16, 2018

we were there about 2 wks ago, & the featured marque was bmw, especially the sedan racers. there was one bug, but no royales or tipos. k-es aren't historic at this point in time, so unless a private collector wants to lend one for display, not likelt to see one. no gumpers or paganis either. most of the cars are american, but sadly very few muscle cars; a split-window coupe and a goat. no classic MoPars from the golden era ('64 to '71), and no hot FoMoCos from the same era either (Talledegas, Cyclones, etc.), not even a GT350. for performance cars, try the motorsport museum just south of wilsonville on the 5.
