Simply put, one of the finest Automobile Museums in the US. I mainly came due to the finest collection of Tuckers in the country but the museum has an array of classic cars, buses, and motorcycles. Every corner of the museum surprised and delighted.

What an excellent museum with an outstanding collection of motor vehicles! We visited on a weekday morning and the museum wasn't very crowded. We enjoyed all of the exhibits but especially the Tucker cars and the Packards.
The current theme in the museum is "Survivor" cars. There was a wide range of vehicles in this category. Many of them were in really excellent, original condition. Their history was listed beside the car with all owners' names from original sale to present. All are driveable.
An added surprise were the operating Christmas train layouts in the museum or "train gardens." One huge layout with interactive controls was especially intriguing. It was located on the ground floor. Worth a visit all by itself!
This is a great museum where you really can spend several hours enjoying the exhibits. Staff members were extremely friendly and helpful and the place is kept in pristine condition! Well worth the admission price.

This museum isn't just about cars, it's about the history of the automobile and the role it played in shaping this country. Take your time and really look at the exhibits.

Wonderful cars, trucks & two wheel vehicles. Great friendly people, all made this a nice visit. A lot of time was spent setting up the displays and it shows. We really enjoyed our visit.

We visited as part of our 3 day trip to the area. My husband is a car fanatic and we have been to a few shows and museums. We brought our toddler (luckily we were one of just a few families in the museum) and he keeps asking to go back. The museum was very clean and the employees were nice and friendly. The bottom floor had a huge train table with moveable parts and the ability to step on the pedals yourself. It was a great experience. Definitely worth visiting.

I was very impressed with the set up for the museum and the backdrops that added a lot to the transportation history. They had some really good guides that offered some interesting insights as well. The Tucker section of the museum was so interesting I found the movie that night and watched it again. Highly recommend.

This place is a gem for anyone interested in cars and their history. We loved seeing the old buses, too. Plan on spending about 2 hours. We could easily have spent 3-4 hours here, but our son was getting antsy. Kids will love the train room which has a good size layout to walk around and interactive foot pedals to activate parts of the layout and run the trains.
We definitely want to return!

My great uncle is a member of the antique automobile car club and he says his name is on a plaque at the museum. He said he would like to see the plaque, but he is in his 80''s and can't get around well. Can you find the plaque and take a picture of it and e mail it to me? His name is Wayne Weber. My e mail is wweller29@yahoo, you get the rest Thanks ever so much! -Wendy

I bet if you called them, they would take a picture and send it. The museum is staffed by great volunteers.

Well lots of cars may be boring for kids but they try with some interactive stuff and great train set in the basement.

Not a snack shop, but there are vending machines downstairs. Surprisingly, the Nescafe coffee machine is quite good! I had 2 cups!

Much will depend on how "INTO" the content and exhibits you are, but I would consider 2 hours to be a minimum if you hope to savor all the museum has to offer.
Being a "car guy", I tend to linger over everything I see.

Park tickets available on the park app, I recommend that by the way. Helps you find your car if nothing else. Zoo included in admission price but it's a pretty horrid little thing.
The ACCA museum is $12/pp for adults. Well worth it.
could you please tell me what the cost is to get into the Antique Club Museum
