What parents say
"It’s a nice place to visit on a cold day when you want to get out of the house. I like that there were no barriers and you could see the cars up close. There were definitely some unique cars: both antique and modern. It’s worth visiting, especially if you’re visiting in town and you’re looking to kill a few hours before dinner or going to Broadway. My three year old got in for free and the kids area had a few, run-down toys to play with. He enjoyed playing there for a bit. They did have free electric car charging, so that was convenient!"

"I absolutely loved visiting this place. It's a must stop by and see!! They've got all kinds of cool cars, motorcycles, airplanes, and really old modes of transportation. It was so neat, to see the progress transportation has made over the years. We took the vault tour, there were cars in there, I didn't know existed. We love cars, so if u do too stop by when u get a chance💯😘"
