I believe the museum is celebrating 30 years, so I am late to the game.
Cool museum that has plenty of exhibits for any audience.
I am not a car enthusiast, but I did appreciate learning more about the history of cars. The section with cars from TV and movies was fun. The lowrider exhibit was neat to see and they provided historical info to help explain.

Easy to navigate, signage is good, staff were friendly and engaging.

Yummy restaurant on site with great coffee bar!

Still can't believe i finally visited this place after a decade. I had tons of people on the West Coast and on the East Coast. Telling me I wasn't missing much after telling them It was my dream to visit. I'm so glad I got to knock this out of my bucket list. Best experience in the last three years. Came specifically for the museum, put knew about the best in low exhibit so it was a win win. Got a chance to visit every inch of the museum, including the vault. And had a good time spending money in their Merch store😅

What an incredible venue for automotive fans! Wish we had something like this in the UK.
The staff were all so friendly! The hosts around the displays were so welcoming and hospitable offering stories about the cars, and any help with info if needed.
Such a fascinating place! Would definitely recommend and be back on the next US visit.

This was such a well put together car museum. with history on all cars and motorcycles.
There are so many movie cars we have loved over the years. plus such special cars I have never seen or heard of before. Several one of a kind! With my favorites in the luxury models. The low riders were just the first floor of the museum. The rest of the floors had everything else. There were even cars out in the garage o see that overflowed outside. 2 to 3 hours of fun for a car enthusiast!

We spent 5 very enjoyable hours looking around the museum, it was fantastic to see so many vintage and unique vehicles. We booked tickets which included access to the vault (which I thoroughly recommend doing!) and chose to go down there first thing, before it got busy. We particularly enjoyed the lowrider exhibit & it was great that there were friendly staff all over the museum to share their knowledge.
