Awesome - The newly purchased cars in the building waiting for their owners to drive off. The sounds of cars starting was cool too.

Worth the Stop! - This is perfect for car fanatics- like mine :) The younger crowd is free, which is great as they may not understand the history and it might be a little boring. However there are a lot of places to interact & play for adults and kids

Great Experience! - The National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, is a must-visit destination for automotive enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The museum's extensive collection of Corvettes spanning decades of production is truly impressive, showcasing the evolution of this iconic American sports car. From classic models to concept cars and limited editions, there's something to captivate visitors of all ages. The interactive exhibits offer a deeper understanding of the Corvette's legacy and the engineering marvels behind each generation. The museum's layout is well-designed, providing ample space to explore and admire the vehicles from every angle. The highlight of the museum is undoubtedly the Corvette Cave-In exhibit, which documents the infamous sinkhole incident in 2014. It's a testament to the resilience of both the museum and the Corvette community. While the museum offers an enriching experience, some areas could benefit from additional signage or information to enhance the visitor's understanding. Nonetheless, the National Corvette Museum is a four-star destination that celebrates the rich history and enduring legacy of America's favorite sports car.
