Everyone was helpful and a great place to go with your partner especially if they enjoy cars. The place was mostly showing the history of cars so if you’re expecting something with more modern cars then don’t be surprised if you don’t see em. There were a lot of super cars tho so that was very cool to see! Overall I give it a 8/10!

Traveled with family including a 6 and 12 yr old. The collection of vehicles was just absolutely incredible! If you're into cars and even if you're not, I highly recommend visiting this museum. Pricing was reasonable even for our group of five. The children's area was great, the kids really enjoyed.

I have been there before with a cousin visiting from Costa Rica in 2017, we truly enjoyed it so now my brother came to visit me so I thought about the Museun again. He absolutely loved it and I enjoyed too, nice to see different cars. But the parking is too expendive.
