So much to see - This place was kind of bananas with how much there was to see. Our family has seen a lot of car museums and this one is excellent. Not only were there cars, there were boats, tractors, military paraphernalia, and (my favorite) some beautiful old pieces of complex musical equipment. Really impressive museum. We also did the Dino side, which is smaller but the kids enjoyed. Nice playground and antique mall as well.

Ga Girl - The cars are awesome to see. It was interesting to see how many my husband and I had driven or owned. The cars from the movies were terrific. Something for everyone, even the children were having fun

An exceptional automobile collection - The beauty of the Volo Auto Muesum is that every time you go, you see an entirely new collection of cars. The vehicles rotate in and out of the property's five showrooms, meaning each visit is a new and exciting experience. Gone was a red 1960s Lincoln Continental of yesteryear, replaced by a gorgeous Pontiac Firebird painted in bright yellow. A black Cadillac Deville sat where a blue Ford Fairlane was before. And did I mention the new, 1965 convertible Mustangs in store? For antique auto enthusiasts, this campus truly is heaven. Novelty abounds in these showrooms. A giant pair of roller skates taller than my house, a pink Barbie convertible and a Batmobile are just a few (bonkers) examples. But aside from cars, the antique shops and cultural artifacts kept here are second to none. I was especially astounded by a fully restored carousel, complete with a self-playing organ and dazzling, twinkling lights. Seeing that was surreal; it felt like I had stepped back in time. A few areas of the museum held less interest for me. The torture, Jurassic Park and Titanic sections looked less intriguing. But I will always return to Volo for the unparalleled collection of cars that rotate through the property.

Great Family Activity - We took our 4 year old grandson to the Jurassic Gardens, as he loves dinosaurs.He was so excited the entire time we were there.He kept saying I'm happy ,are you happy? The opportunity to go at your own pace and spend as much time as you want and not have to tell them ,don't touch, is great.It is a kid friendly place . The Volo museum is more then just cars and fun for all.You could spend hours there if you desire and has a lot for the kids to see and do also.Karter loved all of the Kiddie rides and the Disney characters. Unfortunately the large carousel was not functional when we were there.

WhatACollection - Fun for ALL!!! - With a 13-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy, we weren't sure how they'd both react to this museum. They both had a wonderful time, and we grandparents did too! It's clean and very well-marked and well-organized, and we moved easily from one exhibit to another.

Great time - Wow,this place is awesome. I'm a classic car buff,so I was loving all the great ones they had...too many to mention. Not only that,but lots of cool movie cars and replicas. It was really fun and informative to read about all of them. But it's much more than just cars. The military museum section is fantastic and so historic. Way more than I expected to see in there. So much to see and take in. You can almost feel the history as you view all the items. Plenty of things for the kids to see and enjoy. Disney stuff,merry go rounds,mechanical puppet shows in the diner area. We loved it and it was a great day. We will be back for sure.

Not for Elderly! - Too many trip hazards for walkers! Had to rent wheelchair for 10$ that was designed only for a youth. Only had one available to use.!! Not all Doorways were handicap accessible. Transitions in doorways were terrible to get through. Entrance gate kept slamming into dads knees because he wasn't fast enough to get through! Staff showed no concern about that. Overall it was an exhausting experience to bring someone who's elderly! Not recommended at all! It's too bad because there is a lot of great memorabilia for a 92 year old!
