Three visits so far, and will return. It helps that they change exhibits periodically. Well done. More

I'm probably a little biased as I know one the museum's volunteers and was treated to a personal tour but I have no doubt that this place would have been impressive even without my "guide". The rotating display area contained Cars that were Stars when I visited and had held 100 Years of Chevrolet just before that. The museum's permanent... More

We recently visited the Museum for a special event, and we really enjoyed ourselves. I only wish we had known about it sooner, and when my kids were a bit younger. While it definately caters to the car enthusiast, I am certain my teen and pre-teen boys would have loved the Museum when they were under 10 or so. The... More

Attended a Rotary district conference opening here and despite living in the area it was my first time. I wasn't expecting much but was so surprised. Had no idea we had such an interesting place in the area. The layout is very easy to follow and very informative. The displays are well done. Would highly recommended this to anyone visiting... More

I took two children ages 5 and 8. My children loved the Mac truck and could have sat there all day. I enjoyed the history of all the different modes of transportation and found it fascinating the have a very old horseless carriage made mostly of wood. My kids like it and it was a short visiting time! More

I took two 7-year-old boys there and was surprised to find only one other group in the entire building. It was such a shame because it is one of the best museums I have visited for kids. Interactive exhibits that are interesting and nicely presented. The boys loved sitting in the Mack Truck. More

My husband & I took our 9 year old niece here the weekend of 2/25/12, mainly to see the 100 years of Chevrolet display that began that weekend & will run for approx. 6 months. The museum has many things including a tribute to 9/11 Mack Truck, an Indian motorcycle from the 30's and explains everything about drivers, mechanics and... More
