Very interesting collection of cars. From the very small to very unique: Airplane cars, boat cars, and more. Wish I had visited it sooner. They even have a play area for restless kids!

Have something different depending when you go. None of the cars blocked off so can get pretty close. Which is unique to do, can't sit in them but still it's cool to snap photos without the barriers.

Vehicles are in historical condition, not "restored." It is nice to read and witness the history and see the impact of time and events. Beautifully diverse collection. Love the ease of accessibility.

Looking for something a little bit different? Try the Motor Museum. We love cars, so it's a safe bet. You can see vintage European Cars, and with admission at less than $15, it's well worth the trip.

Really cool museum. Well organized and maintained. The bicycle and motorcycle wing in particular has many high-interest pieces.
