An exact model of the first vehicle ever to be driven in the Cayman Islands — a 1905 Cadillac — has a place of special prominence in the museum.Of special interest both to children (and “adult children”) is the ultimate crime-fighting vehicle, the original “Batmobile” that squired Batman and Robin around Gotham in the 1960s television show. An exact replica of the “Batcycle” is also on display. Moviegoers will recognize the 1929 Yellow Rolls-Royce that appeared in the movie of the same name, and “royal watchers” will be attracted to the 1956 Daimler DK400, Queen Elizabeth II’s first limousine.Racing and speed aficionados will marvel at the sleek Ferraris (nearly a dozen classics, all in mint condition), Maseratis, Corvettes, and Jaguars. Magnificent Rolls-Royces (including a 1930 “Phantom”) and Bentleys (including Sir Elton John’s 1963 classic) abound, beckoning viewers back to an era of meticulous craftsmanship and unsurpassed luxury.The Museum is a great cruise ship excursion or a great place to spend an afternoon while on vacation to the Cayman Islands. Our gift shop offers unique auto memorabilia and souvenirs to the general public. The Cayman Motor Museum is also available for private functions and special events. « less

Good to see such a wide range of cars, motorbikes, memorabilia, and the bat mobile!!! Good to visit, highly recommend and worth a visit, there was a car belonging to Elton John, the queen, and many others.

Visit the museum when the cruise ships are not in. You will have the whole place to yourself. It is a great collection of cars and motorcycles.

if you are in to antique and collectable cars and motercycles...its a great stop if its raining or you have an hour to kill. Pretty amazing to have all these high quality collectors on an island...I'd be nervous about hurricanes!

If there is a rainy day in Cayman, and you have nothing else to do, its OK. I mean just OK. Kids will like it I guess. But the cars are so close that you can not even put a sheet of paper between some of them. There is no way you will be able to walk around, look at... More

Since this was right next door to the turtle farm I took my teenage son, who loves cars, here. It was rather pricey so the rest of the group didn't go. We spent less than 30 min. in there. It's pretty small. I think they charge $15 for adults and 7.50 for kids. The lady was nice and gave me... More

I am a car guy and this place was the "car fix" I needed on our vacation. The Ferrari collection is one of the best I've seen. The presentation of the vehicles and their quality was a treat. Even saw one of the original Bat mobiles. The security guard was really nice and pointed out some special museum items that... More

if you go I suggest you do so between one and 2:30 in the afternoon after the cruse ship passengers have left - it is not large and it can feel crowded if a large party is there at the same time you are. A nice way to spend a half hour or even a bit more.

This is a fairly new museum on Grand Cayman's (west end, close to the Turtle Farm, the Tortuga Rum Cake store and the Cracked Conch restaurant). We had some time to kill and a cool car museum fit the bill. Enter through the gift shop, then go through some doors to see a line of red cars - Ferraris, Dinos.... More

The showroom was not crowded, expect with cars. The cars are literally millimeters from the next and you can't really see and experience the cars. You can take pics of the front and grill, but can't check out the rear end or interiors. The staff was friendly, the info on the cars was great, and their collection is nice (lots... More

This was a nice change of pace from shopping and going to the beach. And there are many cars to see. There must be 20 Ferraris! But, just so you know... it will probably take you about and hour to see them all. And, if you aren't really interested in cars...you could probably walk through in 25-30 minutes. Glad I... More
