Reviews of Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum

Dr. Rosie Ann Riley

This is a Motorcycle lovers paradise. They also have vintage cars and race cars. There is an entire area donated to Lotus. The building is designed so beautifully and the motorcycles and vehicles are very well kept. You would probably need to spend 4-5 hours to view Museum thoroughly. They also have a nice gift shop. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is also a track at location. This day a private club was using it. I paid $33 total online for 2 tickets. If you would like 10% military discount you have to wait to pay on site. There is no military discount at store. Recommend visiting if in the area!!!

One of the nicest collections of motorcycles I have ever seen. If you like all generations and makes and models of motorcycles, you will love it. The history in this building is amazing. Take an audio tour if you can. There is 5 levels of exhibits, ample bathrooms, a banquet area for conferences and corporate gatherings. State of the art facility. Definitely for the motorcycle history buff.

Sue Crossland

This place was amazing - the incredible detail put into this place, the number of motorcycles, the unique layout of the building, the history of the bikes and cars! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the 4 hours we spent walking through the display and observing the cars on the awesome track outside. Even with the July heat, we loved being able to stand on the bridges over the track as the cars raced around. They even have a lovely wooded path that leads to a gazebo where we sat for a bit. This large wooded area is in the middle of the winding track.

Ashley Tew

I don't even like motorcycles but this place was amazing! I decided to take my husband for a day trip, and it exceeded our expectations! The entire place is extremely clean, restrooms on every floor, and the outdoor area is beautiful!! It was so fun standing on the bridge watching the cars race. This place is a must see!

Auda Gee

Plan to spend a whole day here. This place is massive I can’t remember how many stories. It was a rainy day and no one was there but a handful of people—and I still didn’t get to see everything—just got tired of walking after five hours. Amazing. If you are a motorcycle enthusiast, you’ll never want to leave. I highly recommend to anyone who rides and wants to see how far bikes have come. They also have other toys, too - cars, boats, bicycles. What a true treasure.

The museum is fantastic , the displays were awesome. A good mix of motorcycles from many different genres and time periods in history. There was some great automobiles represented as well. I give three stars as the staff was not super friendly. The lady at the counter was nice enough but the male staff that patrols the floor of the facilty could use some training in customer relations. All in all a nice and clean place , but I always feel you have to be honest with how you felt with the whole experience. Thus the 3 stars.

Thomas Finch

Still absolutely in awe of the place. As a motorcycle enthusiast, there was so much to see. Everything was placed well so pictures weren't crowded or difficult to take. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the museum clean and nice. I would have liked to spent several days there as there is just so much to see. Will be a lasting memory, and I highly recommend going.

Top Guide

Great experience for a good cost. At the time it was $15 bucks per person. If there was a restaurant inside, I would rate 5 stars. After all that walking around, the vending machines aren’t going to cut it. You are not allowed to bring in your own food and drinks either, doesn’t make sense. I could understand if they had plenty of food options, but they don’t.

Matt “GenXBiker” T

Great experience but don't trust the times on Google or the staff to warn you there is short time till closing when you buy your full price ticket. They do not stay open till 6pm, they start throwing people out at 4:45. Otherwise, the parts of the facility open to the public are exceptional. Very clean building to include outstanding bathroom cleanliness and lots of stalls. Recommend starting g at the top and walk your way down, be careful not to skip floors by accident. Parking for bikes at the front of the building and trucks with trailers in the rear right side. Prices have rised to just under $20 and many things are now closed to public.

Berele

Superb museum! Never a huge fan of motorcycles before I walked in, but one just can't help becoming one after walking out. The collection is unreal, going back to late 1800s, from all over the world to boot. Plus you can see a race, if they have one when you visit, which makes the place that much more memorable.

Tim Wilson

The have an amazing collection of motorcycles and cars. The assortment of years and styles is a sight to see, everything from from a steam powered motorcycle to one with a radial engine. The layout of the building makes it easy to explore, has plenty of places to sit and take a break, and it has a nice view of a section of the track behind the building.

Kellie M

Wow! The Barber Vintage Motorsports museum was awesome. We went there because my hubby wanted to check it out. Me, not very interested but you have to compromise sometimes. I am so glad we're went there. First, the building is beautiful. Open, light and airy. The fellow at the ticket counter suggested that we take the elevator to the fifth floor and walk back down the ramps. We did that. There were so many beautiful bikes and cars. We talked to a docent who gave us some great information about the museum. EVERY vehicle is in running condition: mind blown! EVERY VEHICLE. It's worth the cost. You'll enjoy it even if you aren't excited about motorcycles.

Paul Jacobs

This place is mind boggling! So cool! I'm not particularly into motorcycles, but my buddy who I went on vacation with suggested we go there. I was amazed how much I thoroughly enjoyed myself. They have every kind of motorcycle imaginable, but also a large collection of boat motors, race cars, and antique cars.

Kay Pickron

This place is pretty amazing! I had no idea the museum would be so large. We thought we would spend an hour or so looking around…3 hours later we were making ourselves leave because we had to get back on the road to our destination. I’m not necessarily a racing fan but I really enjoyed going out to view the sports cars running on the race track from above the track. The museum is fascinating and beautifully designed. I would go back. I wish there was a family price because I’d like to take our family next time but it’s a bit pricey for our large family of 8.

Jon

Two hours here was not enough. Winter here was super quiet. Just wish I was able to do the extra tour of the lower floors. Lower tour is only weekends. Got to see a third Britten bike and third on I touch. Sorry I only touched the pegs. 6 mire to touch.. BTW: When I retire can you hire me to work there??

Ed P?

Great museum. If you like motorcycles this is a place to visit. Will be coming back in the future ad i did not have all the time i needed to see everything. Plan to spend the day if you want to read all the discriptions on all the old bikes as the is over 900 of them may be even over 1100 hard to tell

Bill Graham

I’ve been to Wheels Thru Time in Maggie Valley, it’s unique as is this museum which is 5 floors and inclusive of all brands of motorcycles and has some cars. I was there on a Friday and it was a weekend for bike racing. You can go out and get an awesome view of the track and even watch for as long as you want. I was there 3 hrs. They have personal tours for an extra price that allows you into the basement, I passed this time. I really wished the t-shirts were better they could sell so many. Awesome place. You can spend 2-3 hours

Kat

I am so glad the Museum had the basement open so we could see the restoration process. I Loved getting to hear about one of the bikes how the owner of it from WWII came in and the bike on the floor was his and his picture is on the wall on his bike. Love how everyone is very knowledgeable about the bikes.

Carlton Gamble

I wish I could give you more stars. I love this place, you make me wish I never left Alabama, this place is amazing. The people are super nice and I took 640 photos of every kind of motorcycle you could ever think of, I saw old bikes, military bikes, concept bikes I've only seen in magazines and I even saw some Lotus cars. Next time I'm bringing my wife.

Dave Cipriani

Completely amazed by this place. HUGE building (5 stories) full of bikes and cars. Over 200 different models and spanning many years. In the back is a racetrack and the day we went there were race cars practicing. There is a beautiful boardwalk that takes you over the track with a glass section so you can see down to the track as the cars go by. Also a nice like trail to walk that takes you to various points along the track. We spent about 2 hrs but could have been longer.

Kenny Wright

Mind blowing. Didn’t know this place existed. Just happened upon it while staying in town. Spent 2 hrs but I could’ve stayed all day. So many relic pieces of motorized vehicles over 5 levels. Just amazing. Highly recommend.

Nathan Bell

Didn’t know this place was here until we searched for nearby things to do. Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum in Leeds was awesome! Tons of fascinating bikes, cars and extras! If you want to take a peak at the past and present, stop on by and check it all out. 🏍 🚙 …

Romeo Vera

This place is huge! There is so much to cover here. The first steam powered and gas powered reproductions are too cool. It is full of history from the start to the splintering of the family tree into the different categories of motorcycles through the ages. Dirt bikes, army bikes, racing bikes, scooters and lots more. Absolutely worth your time!

AdamAnimal WhiskyThrottleADV

We rode in and were immediately greeted by security guard, Ron, yelling at us that we needed helmets! (We were staying at the Hamilton hotel right across the street) his informative demeanor also included a recommendation for a barbeque spot at lunch, descriptive account of the track and museum building, and lesson on why certain Alabama license plates are banned from entering the premises. He also knows just about everything about every bike on display.

Jennifer Tucker

This museum is an experience! There’s a ton to see and do. It’s not a boring old motorcycle place just for boys! It’s displayed in such a way that it’s interesting, informative and awesome! Come on a day when the cars are racing and stand on the glass panels in the bridge and watch the cars fly by beneath your feet!!

Sharon Gadbois

We had an amazing experience. Very well thought out complex! Some people spend an entire weekend going through each motor piece. On the track that you can overlook from the museum or walk over pass, takes your breath away. It was a gorgeous day out and that expounded on our experience even more. You come through the door already on the second floor. First timers, ride the elevator up to the 5th floor and walk down. But first, stop in at the desk and pay your $17 to walk through the museum. Also, don't forget to ask for the WiFi password to upload and send all of your videos to social media! 🏎️⛽🚡

cmlarvick

Massive complex, and huge museum. Tons of cars and bikes as well. Do not come here unless you have time to spend. Otherwise, you’ll be bummed you paid to get in, only to walk away from much of it. You could spend many hours in here easily, and not even see everything, even if you tried to move quickly. You can also take a break and go out back to the outdoor race track where they often have the Porsche training school running the track. Only 2 places in the world that they do it, and one is here. Make sure you make this a stop on your list if you are coming near it.

Ryan Kelly

I freaking love this place! I wish it was closer to me so that I could go every weekend! The staff know their stuff when it comes to the history of the brands and models they have on display. They have so many bikes. So many. Also there is a small trail in the center of the track that is behind the museum and if you look close you can find a few creatures. 2 bridges with a glass section to see the cars and bikes scream past. Cheap fun for 4 or 5 hours.

Brian McIntyre

I was gobsmacked. 1600+ motorcycles, largest collection of Lotus cars and beautiful facility. The motorcycles are simply an art form. Plan on several hours. Well worth the price of admission.

TheBigBonedBiker

Really cool experience and more motorcycles than you could imagine. Plan to spend most of the day, especially if you're lucky enough to strike up a conversation with one of the staff. They know so much history, it's very impressive.

Michael O'Donnell

The museum was great. The history of motorcycles was excellent with 1000's on display. There were also about a hundred race cars. We drove race cars on the track which was great. A very nice facility.

Jennifer Walton

For motorcycle lovers and novice alike. This museum is super cool. The museum move through the evolution of the Motorsports, from steam bikes to formula 1. I enjoy all 5 floors and the race track behind the facility. If you are in the area it's a must see.

Terry Johnson

Truly unbelievable place. Largest collection of motorcycles in the world. Excellent volunteer workers that add to the experience. You can easily spend 5 hours if you stop and read the placard for only 1 out of 10 bikes that you walk past.

Tiffany Rawlin

This place is HUGE. The recommended time is two hours, but if you want to read everything and really look at everything, give yourself at least three hours. There are little things in every corner, a hidden formula one car in plain site, and just a lot neat things everywhere! If you are on the hunt to see something very specific, ask the giftshop near the entrance - they have a master list of what is actually on display. 😉 There are actually cars on the very bottom floor that you can look at, but only during specific tours, which we will need to do next time.

Junell Shue

A surprisingly fun stop with young kiddos. While we didn't spend enough time here to see everything on all five floors, we easily spent an hour looking at all the awesome cars and motorcycles. The kiddos loved walking out on the bridge over the speedway and listening to the roar of cars racing underneath. The waterfall and nature trail were an unexpected fun visit as well.

Ricardo M

Great experience. We visited the day after an Indycar race. The price of admission is worth it for the views of Barber Motorsports Park that you have access to via the museum, let alone the actual museum. There's so much to see in the museum itself. You could spend hours looking at their assortment of cars and motorcycles and still feel like you didn't see it all. There's something for every motorsports fan here. One of the best museums of any kind that I've ever visited. Check it out!

Traveling Toonies

Visited on our Leeds day trip. Very big and nice motorsports museum next to a Indy road course track. Was expecting to see a lot of race cars but in fact it is the largest motorcycle museum in the world! Man there were a lot of motorcycles! There was some vintage race cars but its more a motorcycle museum. Has four floors of displays you can visit - disappointed the fifth & bottom floor is for private tours only. Has a walking bridge over the race track that goes to a nice looking garden park in the middle of the track. We visited on a track day and saw lots of racing enthusiasts trying out their own cars. Very neat. Not fur friendly :(

Todd Franklin

Dayummm! I've got to make time to go back! I was visiting the Museum while cars were running the track, both were sheer awesomeness! So many makes of motorcycles that I never knew existed, an education, for sure. Armed security on-site! And from what I witnessed on my way out, they're pretty good at detecting your cc weapon! Poor guy had to go out and put it in his soft leather saddlebag! EIGHT out of five 🌟

D Baylor

OUTSTANDING venue! If you live racing and motorcycles you must visit here at least once. There is every year, make , and model of bike you can think of. The place is very clean and the staff is very welcoming

John Sullivan

This is Motoring Valhalla. That's all I can say. If you're asking yourself if the Juice is worth the squeeze. Yes it is. 1,000 times. There is a section of Lotus cars that are priceless. Now multiply that by infinity.

Tim Bigham

This is a great place, plan on spending a few hours in the museum alone. And the grounds are beautiful they're worth checking out. Even better yet plan your visit during a race or event!

Samantha Cook

Had a wonderful visit to the motorsport museum today! We were pleasantly surprised to witness some racing on the track and the gorgeous bridge and nature path that let's you cross over and walk between the turns. After our walk outside we spent a couple of hours ecploring the numerous displays, we got an educational explanation of the history of Lotus and Colin Chapman from a knowledgeable staff member, Alfred! We loved learning more about the history of the car, creator, engines and the like while walking through the displays.

Melody Owen

If you really like motorsports then this is the place for you. 5 floors of motorcycles, dirt bikes, and cars and so on and their early beginnings to today. You can easily spend 2 or more hours to look at everything. At the front they will recommend you start on the 5th floor and work your way down. The very bottom floor is for special events only. There is a gift shop and vending machines. I had a toddler with me and I could easily move his stroller around. For each floor you could use the elevator or go down the ramps. Check out their website for things like renting out their track to drive cars. We had fun watching the cars race around the track. My toddler didn't want to leave, he wanted to keep watching the cars. Check it out, they have loads of things to see and it was fun to learn history behind each motorsport. Also, we went on a week day and there was no wait line and not a lot of people which was nice. The parking lot is big and plenty of spaces to use.

Blake West

Great museum. So many exhibits of all types of cars, mostly race cars. Over 1000 motorcycles. Very nice and knowledgeable people there. Great even space also.

Davyd Stadawim

This place is pretty cool, even if you're not a motorsports fan/gearhead. There are legitimate historical machines in here that would take a whole weekend to walk through and read about. Motorcycles from their birth to present, race cars from Lotus'(and others) halcyon days, and a decent gift shop. Also!: there's a nifty road course on site you may not be aware of, that holds an IndyCar sanctioned race every spring. Plus if you're inclined, you can run your street rod around it for a price. And the course is set in a pretty picturesque locale to make for a nice background. It should be on your list of things do, even if you're not in Alabama!

steelydannnn

The most best museum that you can ever find in motorcycles and race cars. Over 1,100 meticulously preserved motorcycles and many other formula 1 cars and an extensive lotus car collection. Among many other racing memorabilia. All this collection of the finest kind that is placed in a magnificent building that is placed also in the most best looking natural race course that you can find. A meticulously done grounds and racetrack. They say life is in the details and this is one place that you should put in your bucket list to visit. Great friendly staff very knowledgeable. This place must be visited more than a few times to be able to truly enjoy and admire this collection. I am just a traveler who enjoys going to places that will enrich you in life. This is one place if you are and enthusiast of cars and motorcycles you will approve highly.

DeAnna Starnes

Had a great time here and the place is huge. Easily spent a few hours here and didn't even realize it. It was awesome to see how far motorcycles have come.

Gabriel Salas

The best motorcycle car museum that you see visited throughout the United States, has a different dynamic concept that conveys a lot of emotion and passion. Visit it you will love it

Joann Kuo

Super cool collection of motorbikes. There are also vintage cars and bicycles. A must-see for the motorcycle junkie and even if you're not - still worthwhile. Be prepared to spend some hours here.

Cole Grinsteinner

What an absolute awesome museum!! Definitely a need to go place for any Motorsports enthusiast. There are 5 floors to the museum and every floor is packed with motorcycles!! Also have an elevator to take you to the top. Just a heads-up anyone with a fear of heights or vertigo just know the floor plan is very wide open. This museum is definitely worth the price of admission!

A C

Really cool museum, primarily focused on motorcycles, but with a good collection of Lotus and Porsche cars too. The adjacent racetrack seems like it would be fun.

Charnita Kirby

A hidden gem in Birmingham. Spend a Saturday or have/attend an event here. Anything that has a motor is on amazing display here. If you haven’t taken the time to explore this museum, you must. It’s artfully designed, beautifully displayed and lighted and intriguing to even those who do not like cars and motorcycles. a Birmingham MUST See.

Tim

WOW!!! Absolutely awesome!!! 5 levels of motor biked, racecars and vintage racers. Clean, secure and well kept. Race track is a plus!

Kris Kasprzak

What an amazing museum. If you’re into motorsports or not this is deafly something that needs to be on your bucket list motorcycles made from wood motorcycles used in World War II, race bikes a Beatles Bentley a Jonh player special and the list goes on….

Rob Martin

If you have any interest in motorcycles, GO! It's beyond first class and expectations. The museum goes indepth of motorcycle history, racing, general transportation and modern day bikes.

Ed Arnold

Barber is an open course with some nice challenging turns. The overall esthetics are wonderful. They really do a nice job with land and hard scaping. Today feature is the Birmingham Grand Prix and should be a great series of races. Look for DEforce Racing for top spots through the weekend.

Cindy Findlay

This place is amazing! You can also take a stroll on the grounds which is so beautiful . If your not a big race fan...doesn't mater because it is fun to see how history has changed our motorcycles and cars from our past. Definitely check it out, you won't be disappointed 👍 …

Jason Abbott

I highly recommend this museum, Set aside at least 6 hours for the tour. More if your a real motorhead. Check for special events that will allow you to walk out onto the bridge over the raceway. Some times you can go to the basement where restorations are taking place. Incredible!

Springfield

It's a great museum for car loves and motorcycle lovers too see, nice layout to go around and look at the vintage cars and bikes you could also walk over a catwalk to the otherside to a little park as well as over the track. Very cool experience I recommend it.

Jim Rossi

One amazing place !!! Now if I could ride the bikes on display. A place worth seeing more than once.

Jeffrey Cochran

I was there for the Vintage Bike Races. An awesome place. If you're interested in motorcycles it's a must see.

Matthew Smith

Amazing collection of vintage and modern motorcycle and cars, A must see if you are in the area. Plan on 3 + hours if you are an enthusiastic about the subject. A ticket allows to leave to get something to eat and go back.

CURTIS YOUNG

OMG!! It tool almost 4 hours to walk through the museum. Fantastic collection of motor cycles. I'm not a motor cycle person, but I was impressed with this collection. You can not touch any of them. That's me in 2nd picture squatted down behind the motor cycle - not on it. There is also a race track there for cars. You can pay to get on the track and rent a car. You can see them racing from inside the museum. There must be a motor cycle track too. There were 50+ riders.

Tiffany Stockstill

Visited after an auction ended. People would be surprised at the minimum these vehicles go for. I was at least. 3 levels of motorcycles that will blow your mind. Fabulous.

Alain Bucio

Very cool to have experienced the world's largest motorcycle museum! Definitely recommended for any car and bike enthusiast! Staff was very friendly and informative! Learned very much about the history of the complex from them!

Rusty Humphries

Top notch motorsport museum. Much bigger and more extensive than I thought it would be. If you’re a car or motorcycle person it is a must stop.

Fabiana

Very nice and clean museum. Even for the non motorcycle car non enthusiastic it is so interesting!

yusikhan

As a motorcycle enthusiast, I was stoked about visiting this place and boy!, did it it deliver! THE best collection of motorcycles I have ever seen. No motorcycle show, other museum collection can come close to this place. Everything from the Brough Superior to the Ducati Desmosedeci to that one off superbike from New Zealand to the Jet Powered Y2K that I had read about but never seen before in person is here. They keep their facility meticulously clean with clear signs and brief history for all the bikes, employ very friendly folks and have a small but beautiful car collection as well. I loved my time at this place and want to thank the folks who run it for doing such a exemplary job, kudos! PS wait till you see the F1 car on top pf the elevator or the cop with the tiger on a leash....

Kurt DeAngelis

Not a gear head nor a bike enthusiast BUT I could spend the entire day looking at the collection. Beautiful architecture and landscaping. Don't miss this if you are nearby.

Joe Fields

Must stop for any motorcycle enthusiast. You can spend hours in this place and find every bike you've ever owned. Literally me and every other guy in the place was pointing and running to various bikes yelling about how they owned it and what happened to it...and inevitably how much they regret getting rid of it. Spend the day. 6 hour ride from the Dragon via Chattanooga which is awesome in itself.

Marcelo Fernandez

If you love motorcycles this is the place you çannot miss It is difficult to explain you have to see it in person The musuem is very modern, clean, well organized and the stuff is very friendly and knowledgeable One of the best 3 hours I spent in my life (I love motorcycles, you can tell)

Y I

Motorcycle and Car Museum. The museum is categorized by age (1900-1930, 1930-1960, 1960-present) and by type (off-road, military, etc.). There are six floors in total, but I wasn't able to visit the basement floors when I visited. You can watch the races from the museum too.I would recommend it to motorcycle lovers.

Richard Savin

I can't tell you how fantastic this place is. Five floors of hundreds and hundreds of perfectly restored motorcycles of every make in the world from about 1890's to about 2004. Did I say perfectly restored, wow I couldn't believe it! Go, go, go there, I mean it!!!

John Fox

This museum is a must see for motorcyclists and enthusiasts of all ages. The museum has a huge collection of bikes, of virtually all ages and categories. From motorized bicycles (including a powered penny farthing bike), a steam powered bike or two, board track racers, military models, drag bikes (from vintage to present day), road race bikes, UJMs, to modern sportbikes, this place has it all. Hell, they even have a jet-powered Y2K sportbike. Many of their bikes are unmodified production models, but plenty of one-offs and prototypes are featured as well. Allen Millyard's shed built bikes come to mind, including his Kawasaki 1600cc V-8, Kawasaki 2300cc V-12, Kawasaki 850cc 2-stroke parallel 5, and Honda SS 100cc v-twin. Among more common models, numerous exotics can be seen as well, including the Britten V1000 and Morbidelli V8.

Marcus Robinson

Never knew Yahweh created so many cars and bikes, mind blowing and they all are fresh. Great for young Kingz and Queenz

Heather Kavu Leilani

Absolutely mind blowing to see so many vehicles in one place! Beautifully done!

Gage Harrnacker

Just wow! This is one of the coolest places I have ever had the experience of touring! 5 levels of vehicles and a race track in the back yard! Don't miss this stop!

Nichole Alred

We've been wanting to visit Barber for a couple of years now. We finally drove the 1.5 hours and went. Admission was very reasonable and they do have a military discount! This place is absolutely AH-MAZ-ING! The whole building is glass! There are cars and motorcycles on the floor, on the wall and even hanging from the ceiling. I believe there is 5 levels. From the main entrance, you can go down one level and out the door to a bridge that goes over the racetrack. Porche was there the day we went and it was neat to watch. If you keep walking, you come to another overpass, (look to tour right here, you will see a mannequin hanging from the overpass and Godzilla shaking the bridge). 🤣 There are a lot of hidden little things inside and outside of this place! A mannequin police officer with a tiger, metal dragonflies, Bigfoot, fossils in the concrete, and so much more! The restrooms are extremely clean! Kinda plain...... I was expecting more lol I wa expecting to hear a motorcycle when I opened the door, some old truck tailgate seating or SOMETHING lol As amazing as this place was, I guess I just expected the restrooms to be as amazing 🤪 This place is definitely a must see! The employees are so nice and don't mind answering any questions. They have a gift shop with some real nice ladies tees, menswear, and other stuff. They have a little snack bar inside, but it's closed down (maybe because of Covid...... maybe because of people not wanting to work)??? But it's closed. There are soda machines and snack machines though. The whole place is wheelchair accessible and will take 2 to 4 hours to tour. Depending on how slow you walk and how much time you spend watching the track and walking around outside. An extremely nice place though!!!!! I took over 160 photos while here but I'm not going to post them all...... ya just gotta go see it for yourself!!!

22cbr1000 Rider

It was an amazing experience. We saw everything from the very beginnings of motorcycles to present day race machines and literally everything in between. The most interesting part for me is that supposedly every single machine is in running condition and could be started at a moments notice. That's an amazing fact considering they have motorcycles that are older than anyone in my living family. It was truly a great experience for me because it allowed my to teach my son how motorcycles began and how they evolved into the bikes we have today.

Mathias Jørgensen

Very cool museum well worth the drive to. And cool to see people race on the track.

Adam Schrammel

What a cool place! I wish there was somebody there that could tell the history of it. It looks as if it would have quite the story.

Denis Osipychev

Awesome place. It is hard to comprehend these many amazing bikes, so make sure you watched what you wanted in the first hour.

John Botts

The best motorcycle museum in the world. Worth every penny for a completely amazing, breathtaking experience.

Kiara Atkins

So many bikes and cars to see. My husband and I enjoyed looking at our own pace. JUST a few of our faves

Mike Johnson

This Place is AWSOME!!!! I recommend everybody to go here at least one time.You will not be disappointed!

Cindy C.

The grounds are well taken care of and clean. Good parking. We were there when Vintage Motorcycle Festival was going on. There are rules which makes it a very organized event. Lots of great spots to watch the road racing. This event had trams that you can ride for FREE . This makes it easy to get around and see everything. The museum itself is AWESOME!!!! Worth the money.

Tyler Wilson

My friend and I had an absolute blast looking at the history of notable vehicles. Heard a lot of great things about this place and it lived up to all the praise. I probably audibly exclaimed my excitement on average of every 30 seconds. As a huge fan of motorsports, vehicle running and collectable cars and motorcycls, I still learned a lot about the history of so many notable rides and I would absolutely come again. I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone that is remotely interested in vehicular technology and history. No doubt 10/10!

Adam Elliott

This place was awesome! Super clean and friendly environment probably not good for young children but 10 and up most definitely. I know $30 seems like a lot just to walk through a museum but it at least 2 to 3 hour fun time and on the weekends you get to watch the motorcycles go around the racetrack while you're looking at all the awesome cars and bikes. I would highly recommend this I took the whole family and we all were amazed.

Curtis Williamson

Beautiful museum with a ton of motorcycles and cars. The facility and grounds are VERY clean and awesomely manicured. The building is very well climate controlled which is perfect for a hot Alabama afternoon. This facility is one of the most accessible I have ever been to. Give yourself at least 3 good hours to go through the exhibit.

Elaine Lambros

More motorcycles than you can imagine! The place is immaculate and designed very well. You can view people racing cars on a track around the building.

I've been there twice and I will definitely go back again if I am ever in the Birmingham AL. area. This is without exaggeration the finest motorcycle museum in the country (maybe the world). Motorcycles from the very beginning to current models, all types, all brands, superbly restored and superbly displayed. As an added bonus, a fantastic collection of Lotus cars and open wheel race cars. A must see museum for all motorcyclist and motor-heads.

Brian

This place is absolutely awesome if you love motorcycle it is a must on your bucket list!!!

Ron Cpo

If you love bikes 🏍 this place is for you..The mega of bikes museum. A must see.

James InOregon

Superb facility! Just go and you will enjoy it. Walking trail across the racetrack. Superbly clean facilities with bathrooms on all five floors in the museum. Minus 0.002 stars for not having a cafe to have some coffee. Well done Mr Barber and team.

Sujith N

I really liked this place. I would have given five stars but I cut one because they charge the same amount even if you arrive at closing time. I could only spend 30 minutes there. I know a few places where they charge discounted rates during the last hour. This place has a very good collection. My 6 year old boy really liked it and wants me to take him there again.

Maggie

As an avid motorcyclist, I just love to be surrounded by two wheels and like minded folks, making Barber easily one of my favorite places of all time. Mr. Barber has an extensive collection of literally any two wheel motorcycle you can dream of, and not just limiting himself to two wheels but other magnificent selection of motor vehicles (honestly if it doesn't have only two wheels i don't really know much about it but I appreciate it all the same) This is a must go to if you're a fan, or hell even in the area. I do have to say it is also my favorite track of all time, but that's for another review some other time ;)

Jillian Dorsey

This place was so awesome! So many cool bikes and cars! I definitely suggest. Employees were kind and knew how to get around well.

Sherif Labib

Highly recommend going there if you're an auto enthusiast especially a motorcycle enthusiast. Right next to the museum is the Porsche driving experience where they have two bridges were you can access from the second floor, you can see the track and if you're lucky you can see some Porsche cars driving under you.

Arnell Austin

I wished you could have had some more Suzukis in there besides that extremely fun well thought out immaculate

Tanner Godfrey

We had a wonderful time at Barber Motorsports Museum! I was super impressed with the displays and layout. Anything from the first motorcycles made, dirt bikes, racing bikes to drag-bikes. The Porsche racing school was in session while we were there so we got to see the cars racing from the museum and overlook bridge. The basement floor isn’t accessible with general admission, so don’t be confused why the elevators won’t go down there. I would definitely recommend this in my top 5 things to do in the Birmingham area!

Richard Hawley

Been on my bucket list for a few years. Was a great experience.

Jerry James

This museum never disappoints. Great atmosphere. Great value! A wonderful place!

Josie Olsvig

This is a wonderful museum. Although it is primarily motorcycles, there are also sidecars, antique cars, cars from the 50s & 60s, racing cars, antique gas pumps, oil cans, original tools and racing suits worn by the drivers, along with pictures from events. An incredible array of all things motorized and the tools used to sustain them. A clean, well maintained museum with easy-to-read explanations by each display.

Brody synns

This place was great ...... loved all the bikes and cars.... great place for gear heads.....the only problem was those decipticons look hard to spot.... Oh well..... autobots.... roll...out...

Katie Kleinert

Mostly motorcycles. If you want to see some of the more interesting cars, you need a VIP ticket. We didn't know it was an option till we had already left. The bridges over the track are cool. It's a fun day trip. Most of the displays are within reach, so be sure your kids can keep their hands away. There are a lot of rare items in display and they were interesting to learn about.

Sheldon Sadwin

Wow Greatest collection of motorcycles and Lotus cars I've ever seen

soeyesays

As of today 06.23.22 there are 3465 documented reviews of The BVMM. I'm unable to add anything to what others have written, describing the staggering George Barber collection. I CAN highlight three staff members that helped make my visit unforgettable. I came late into Leeds, AL during a weekday. I was on a solo motorcycle trip through several southern states. Trent, Adaline, & Jeff were the three people at the front counter. I had less than 2 hours to take in the museum. Two day passes ARE OFFERED for the weekend; but not on weekdays. Jeff convinced me there's NO WAY to see the exhibit in two hours. In doing so, he convinced Trent to "call an audible." With Adaline as witness, Trent sold me a ticket with his signature, insuring a return admittance the following day. Starting at the fifth floor, I knew it would take the remainder of the day before I could even think of heading down to the fourth floor!! I DID return to experience the lion's share of the collection. BVMM is overwhelming for any moto enthusiast. I shall return.

Elizabeth Crecelius

Everything is spectacular about this museum. I'm not a motorhead, but I enjoyed it immensely. The motocycles and cars are truly works of art and are displayed very creatively. They have everything from historical early 1800's examples to the innovative models through history to the most recent record-breaking motorcycles. There are lots of one-of-a-kind amazing bikes, too. The size of the collection is impressive! The building is a work of art in itself. All the natural light through the windows, the spacious display halls, and the unique spiral ramps leading from floor to floor (5 floors). The museum is built with the beautifully landscaped track as a backdrop. The staff is courteous, friendly and informative. We had a great time! I would love to go back again!

Jean Maria

What an amazing place to see motorcycles of every age. Everything is laid out very nice with information on every motorcycle or car on display. The grounds are beautiful.

Eric Anderson

Wow. Totally great. I don't usually like museums, but this was fantastic.

Anna Rozsakhatska

Great place. A lot to see. Recommended

Jeffrey Lush

A wonderful collection of both cars and motorcycles. Worth seeing

Nina Grayson

My Man and I had a very good time here. It was so fun and exciting watching the car race while walking around taking the beautiful collection of cars and motorcycles. It was a fabulous day! We will be coming back again and again! Fair priced as while.

Cory Runnels

5 stories of awsome! Motorsports Nirvana! Was able to spend three days during the moto america races. Could see and hear the races from inside the museum.

Phil Brownleader

If your into motorcycles, this IS THEE place to visit, bikes ranging from early 1930s upwards to 2000's all restored, you'll not find a better museum, takes at least 3 hrs to see, well worth it, and even better if the racing is on, the racetrack is there too. great location, and they have wonderful events there too. AAA+++

shane harrell

One of the best museums I've been. Even if your not into motorcycles this place is fantastic. 5 floors of the coolest motorcycles and cars you'll ever see.

James R

23Nov2020 - This place is awesome! I can’t say enough positive stuff. The grounds are well maintained, the inside is immaculate, the displays are fun and historic and cool. We were there on a day there was a track event and you can see the cars racing from inside the building or you can walk out onto a bridge overlooking the track, pretty sweet! Overall, I highly recommend you visit, you won’t be disappointed. The entrance fee is so reasonable that even if it was more it would be worth it. Also, everyone we encountered was super friendly.

Jeff Lewis

Loved it. Soooo much to see and experience. The motocross track is reason enough to go but throw in hundreds of motorcycle and car exhibits and that's more than enough. Will definitely be going back because there was so much to take in in one trip.

Gabriel Tiqui

If you love race cars and motorcycles then this is the place for you. The open room layout was gorgeous and each motorcycle came with an interesting summaries. The exhibitions were nice and you can even visit the track!! The track on its own is a sight to see.

Grant Fraker

Awesome museum. Full of historic motorcycles and vehicles. There are also two bridges that cross over Baber Motorsport Park and allow for some unique views of the track. While we were there they were having track days for motorcycles so we got to experience them on the track while we crossed the bridges.

Terry Brown

Great facility with very friendly staff. I worked the event yesterday 9-24-22 and it was a great experience. The owner of the park even came and personally introduced himself to me. George Barber was a very friendly and personable man. Just a fabulous expierience all the way around. And i want to say security officer 011 went out of his way to check on me numerous times throughout the day. I cant say enough about his dedication.

Miranda Snow

Absolutely amazing. Our family spent 3 hours here but I coukd see coming back time and time again to read more about each one. I personally don't care much for motorcycles but the way everything was laid out, designed, explained, was all well thought out and I can't think of something they could do to improve it. Along with the over 5 floors of mechanics with a very cool elevator, there is an outdoor nature walk out by the racetrack that has a gazebo and a trail with interesting creature statues that was fun for the kids to spot. The kids (youngest being 8) were also kept entertained so bring your family for this amazing experience!!

Craig

Really a great place. Something for everyone. Every motorcycle you can imagine cars old and new. Everything is neat, clean and has a plaque with an explanation of what it is.. You can even walk out above a racetrack and watch a race.

Carol Taylor

Don't trust the hours posted on Google...and this place doesn't think it's their duty to report the error, or that they have raised their ticket prices. They charge full price even if you arrive an hour before closing (but thought you had more time). Ticket counter staff are nice, but the rest of the staff are rather rude. Security follows you around with scowls on their faces, even though you don't even get close to the displays. Yet, the families there with kids running around, security steers clear of...go figure. The items on display are fantastic, though. Fantastic historical pieces. Grounds are well maintained, interesting concrete sculptures in tucked away places.

Bill Casagrande

This is an amazing place and I hope to return with my son and grandson one day in the near future. The vehicles on display are absolutely stunning and are captivating as I imagine myself in the seat of that motorcycle with my hands on the grips feeling the wind in my face. The cars are incredible. My personal favorite was seeing before my very eyes, Mario Andretti ‘s STP Indy 500 Car. All I can say is WOW and Thank You!🙏❤️☝️

Annette Vickery

Wow, unbelievable collection of cycles,cars and even first jet ski and boat motors.

Donnie Mac

I truly cannot imagine a place that would have a better vintage motorcycle experience than Barber. I am told they have a little over a thousand motorcycles which I don't doubt. The bikes range from the late 1800s all the way up to the early 2000s, with the bulk of them in the middle. Oh and their are some sick autos as a bonus. Truly amazing!

Greg Jordan

If you like motorcycles and racecars, then this is the place for you! We spent the day there with our son for his birthday. He had a blast. I grew up with motorcycles. I even found one like I had! I highly recommend this place to any and all motorheads!

Allea Grimes

Gorgeous facility!!! It couldn't have been any better. Well worth it x100!!!

JOHN

Everything about the Barber Motorsports park is top notch. Not only is it the largest motorcycle museum in the world but the history of engine development is incredible. It was well worth the 2-day drive to get there.

Heath LaCoss

Absolutely stunning museum of mostly motorcycles and some cars. Even for non-motorcycle enthusiasts, this place is something to see — spectacular. The motorcycles are wonderfully displayed, and you will find so much variety to suit all interests - American, Japanese, German, Canadian, police motorcycles, wartime motorcycles, cars, and on and on.... There is also a racetrack at the back of the museum, and just watching the cars zoom by is wonderful, as-is enjoying the beautiful setting. Seriously, if in the area, definitely make a stop, you won’t regret it!

Leif Swenson

It was pretty fun! It's really nice how open the displays are. My favorite part was walking over race cars to the waterfall near the end of my visit.

Peter J

I'll keep it simple. I finally made the pilgrimage. It was worth the journey. Prices are more than reasonable. Plan for 2-3 hours at the quickest. It's required that any motorcycle enthusiast make the journey. You'll see things you won't ever see anywhere else. Just do it.

Michael Noerr

I always love this place. Hadn't been in a few years so it was great to see all the completed work and the added bikes and cars.

Michael Talley

If you admire vintage motorcycles (and cars) this excellent museum is well worth a visit! Plan on spending several hours and take the tour to see the restoration work in progress usually hidden from the public.

daniel reuben

I had a wonderful experience going through the various motorbike that were invented and the places they were used. Every bike lover should visit this place and you will love it. Highly recommended this place. Weekend Fri, Sat & Sunday is expensive around $25 for adult but rest other days it's $15. But it's worth it. The museum is well maintained even during the pandemic.

Paul Long Jr

My youngest son absolutely loves anything with wheels and a motor. We stopped here to check out the museum on the way home after a trip to Birmingham. There was a motorcycle race going on which made the whole visit much more exciting! 5 floors of motorcycles and cars; the greatest collection I've ever seen! Because the museum has a bridge over the track and a trail through the woods in the infield, we were able to get close to the track as motorcycles zooms by! The perfect end to an awesome weekend!

Aaron Barbee (A-A-Ron)

A co-worker/friend had recommended this place to me before my road trip. Then my buddy suggested it as one of our stops. Considering we were on our motorcycles, it just made sense. Temperature checks and masks at the entrance were reassuring. All customer service interactions were solid. We probably spent 3 hours here and didn't even take the time to read everything. We were worried we wouldn't be able to see all of the motorcycles before they closed. I'd totally go back and take in a bit more of the history and information provided. Fun times. :)

Jackson Rivera

Really good place. The only thing I didn’t like is that there was 2 extra floors for premium tours. Still didn’t make me rate a terrible rating. Highly recommend

Jason Chamberlain

They have an amazing collection of bikes. I only had about 90 minutes to take in the museum and I'm not much of a motorcycle guy, so I focused on the Lotus collection, which is impressive in itself. I also liked the fact that I could check out the park around the track. I would love to come back at a time when I could see the cars in the basement. That would be worth taking a guided tour.

Niall Dillon

Impressive! Since I'm not a huge race fan, I'd never been to the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, despite having lived in Birmingham for over 20 years. Finally, I decided to take my six-year-old son, and I'm so glad we did. He really enjoyed it too, and exclaimed about one motorcycle or another throughout the visit. There are five floors, easily accessed by ramp or elevator. The motorcycles range from over 100 years old to now (2020). Motorized bicycles to modern electric (0-60 in 3 seconds). Sidecars, off-road, military, two-seaters, etc. Plus vintage cars! Outside, there's a path to a nature area with sculptures, water features and a beautiful gazebo! The path crosses the race track, and we were lucky enough to see a handful of drivers out driving their Porsche Experience. This is a great way to spend an afternoon and worth visiting.

Gator Tex

This place to too awesome to describe. Just an amazing collection of motorcycles and other motorized vehicles. You can spend a lot of time there.

laurel friedlander

INCREDIBLE museum! One of the best museums I have ever visited. Beautiful architecture, the attention to detail was bar-none and of course the collection was mind blowing. HIGHLY recommend!!

Philip Morris

So many bikes. The whole catalog of Buell which was a pleasure. I wish they had more history of the bikes they were showing. I had to be a tour guide fo lr my friend who didn't know much about bikes and wanted information on them. Although don't get me wrong some bikes had a good bit of details. Also why was the bottom closed. Some of the stuff looked amazing.

Ric Breines

I’m speechless. The time, money, devotion, and passion that made this dream come true are beyond compare. This place earns legendary status. With anything and everything on 2- wheels you’ll find it here. The building is cavernous and the bikes fill every corner of it. They climb the walls too and are displayed in ways you can’t imagine how they were put there. The entire experience was highlighted by the continual presence of the Porsche driving school taking their laps around the giant serpentine track that snakes around a beautiful infield park. I so wanted to visit the mechanical first floor and get a close look at all the repairs and restoration projects but the view from the 2nd floor had to suffice. There’s nothing like this place so don’t pass it up.

Michael Manion

This museum is absolutely amazing. There are over five floors our vehicles and motorcycles on display. You can easily spend at least one whole day here if you're a gearhead or just enjoy Motorsports.

K A Kuharic

Almost a sensory overload there is so much to see. There were Porsches on the track, too. After a visit to the museum, I walked across the walkway to stroll through a wooded area. Very nice place!

Stargel “Barberstar” McKey

An amazing museum!! The motorcycle collection was so massive and well put together. I love the detail in the landscape around the track and museum. The bridge to walk over the track was like no other. The people in the museum were knowledgeable and pleasant. This is a spectacular place to visit!!!!

ItsJustJ

If you are any type of motorcycle enthusiasts, I highly recommend that you make this trip to Barber Motorsports Park and experience what the museum has to offer. I can't wait to make the trip back down to ride on track

Linda B

You will need 2 days to view this place ans experience it all. The reason i say this is the amount of things to see and read. If you are a real motorcycle fanatic this is for you. Years range from 1800s to 2019. All sports, classic, pleasure, etc. Every level is an experience. It can be overwhelming in one day. The bottom floor is for another paid experience above your daily admission. Worth the drive, worth the time.

Naveen Devaraj

Every motorcycle enthusiast, riders, admirers and racers must visit. You name it, they have it motorcycles. Very informative. 3 to 4 hours can be spent. Race track. Big parking space. Wheel chair accessible.

Mark Tuttle

Got there late, Your staff at the door and at the counter, Very Professional and friendly. Very informative. Didn't have enough time to really tour the museum, but staff did allow us to shop in the gift shop. We will be back, and this time tour the museum.

Justin Mims

There's no way to prepare you for the sheer magnitude of the size of this place. It's impossible to really drive home how amazing it is to see in person. I'm typically underwhelmed by attractions, but dropped in while my wife and I Were there for a treatment at UAB, and I was blown away. If you love motorcycles, or even just Motorsports, this place is Disney World for you. I took the regular, self guided tour, but will be taking the VIP tour that includes the restoration and R&D floors next time. If you're on the fence about going, GO! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. Doesn't matter what kind of motorcycles you like, British, American, pre war, post war, Japanese, drag racers, sports bikes, kustoms, you name it. Go visit.

Adrienne D Holmes

Loved that I participated in the Quiet Thrill

Jeff Hembre

Great place to go and learn the history

Robert Ball

Plan to spend at least 4 hours if you have any interest in motorcycles. Otherwise, you'll need two hours for a casual walk through.

Steve C.

Best motorcycle museum I've ever been to! If you're into bikes, riding, or anything motorsports, you'll appreciate this place! In depth review and video at usamotorcycling.com.

Kris Lilek

One of the coolest automotive museums I have been to yet. The displays are amazing, the amount and quality of motorcycles are just ridiculous, and the staff are very friendly.

Shark Smoke

Not a motorcycle fanatic but this museum was fascinating. All the displays were immaculate and we're talking a LOT of motorcycles!

Behzad Eghtesad

Excellent collection, excellent building, not that much new racing bikes, they dont have ice racing, speedway, racing trike, moto trial, not that much motocross, also they dont have wifi for guests! But totally are valuable.

Effe P

The biggest Motorsport museum of the world, or better the one with the most number of vehicles. Great place for whoever likes bikes and cars. Vehicles divided by years. All of them are perfectly "stored" and as said they are not a piece of metal but they work. Behind the museum there is also a racetrack and you can see from the bridge pilots running.

Jerry Ferguson

Words can’t describe the awesomeness of this place! When I walked through the doors and looked at the levels of motorcycle deliciousness all I could think was that I wanted to be buried here when I die! Truly amazing, I was there for about 4 hours and needed about another day to really check it out. The track out back is STUNNING too! All in all one of the best places I visited on my 15000 mile TV trip to AK and the east coast and back to AZ. Every motorcycle enthusiast should spend a couple days here.

Tim Williams

Absolutely great museum to visit! There are lots of cars and motorcycles to see and you can even walk outside to the walkway that goes over their racetrack to watch the cars going around. The staff we spoke with was very knowledgeable about the museum and the vehicles on display, I believe his name was Ronnie. He was very friendly and courteous and able to answer any questions we had. This is definitely a place to spend a long afternoon touring all five levels of the museum.

Jeremy Lester

if you like cars or motorcycles this a must do museum. An absolutely incredible facility with everything imaginable, so much history preserved here. Plus you can walk the in field of the road course and watch some racing if you are there at the right time.

Tom Ozburn (Tank)

I have been to Barber's many of times for events, but never went into the museum until today. It was overwhelming in its size and number of displayed items. You could spend hours in there reading about each vehicle/motorcycle. I highly recommend visiting.

Eligio Arturi

The top of the top !! One of the most wonderful motorcycle museum in the World if not the best one ! Hundreds of bikes ( and some cars) of all brands exhibited in a spectacular way plus a challenging race track, coming in one of the events throughout the year is a must for any engine lovers, do not go, if you go you will become addicted and need to go back !

M J

This place is amazing!!! The way the museum displays the collection is perfect, the lighting, the atmosphere. You need to read the information on the side of every piece. So much to see, we spent 3 hours and we could have easily spent 6. Be prepared to experience something like nothing you have seen before. The staff was so knowledgeable and friendly. We didn't even get to explore the garden and waterfall. Cant wait to go back. Thank you Mr. Barber for creating this magical place. My husband couldn't wipe the smile off his face.

Michael Wilts

Overwhelmingly number of motorcycles. Had been travelling for a few days and made the conscious decision to visit while in the area. The display and information was concise. They were having a race and my son and I stood on the bridge over the track to watch them pass. Spent three and a half hours wandering around looking at all of the displays. Highly recommend if you are in the Birmingham Alabama area. My son said it was the best part of the trip so far

julieth adam

Excellent for those who like engines. Recommended to visit. Keep in mind that you will walk a lot.

Jonathan Mitchell

Such a blast! We came to the Barber museum during a trip to Birmingham. It was definitely worth the visit. Awesome collection of rare bikes and it was so cool to see the Porsche race track. Can’t wait to come back and race down the track!

Naveen Roy

Perfect 5 stars. Great set of exhibits and a wonderful building. I just couldn't take it all in on one go. Will surely have to visit again. It is so nice too that the custodians? come and talk to you. Had a nice chat with one of them about motorcycling and racing. I think motorsports does that - makes people more chilled out. A few things that made me immensely happy - that the motorcycle I ride was also on display - the Honda Africa Twin. Also, was nice to see at least 3 machines from Royal Enfield India. And the best of all - that I could see the Vincent Black Shadow in the flesh. What a machine. If you are a motorcycle enthusiast - you are going to spend hours there! Oh and another thing I loved - preferential motorcycle only parking just outside the front door!

Don LeMay

Moto America motorcycle races today at Barbers Motorsports and we visited the Motorcycle Museum while we were there. This place was totally awesome, if you enjoy motorcycles or racing in general then you will definitely love this place. The track alone was a mere $55 million when first built back in 1994. Don't miss out come see this place.

Michael Gerrits

My first time visiting Barber Vintage Motorsports Park and Museum, was quite the experience with so many different motorcycles and other vintage sports memorabilia. Can easily spend an entire day here, reading about all the different pieces on display. Was a very enjoyable experience.

Ian Kramer

Amazing museum! Probably the best collection of new, vintage, and racing motorcycles in the country. The overall design and aesthetic is fantastic. My only recommendation would be that the tour be longer; even 2 hours was not enough for the guide to talk about all the important pieces. Top 10 in places I have ever visited. - fellow gear head

Shawn Smith

Largest selection of vintage motorcycles in the area. Maybe the largest in the United States.

Phil Scholl

Best museum and racetrack anywhere

Peter VandenBerg

Absolutely spectacular! A must visit site for anyone who loves motorcycles and, I would argue, any motorsports fan! It was certainly one of the coolest motorsports-related places I've ever visited!

Rodney T

The place is amazing... wish we would have got a chance to spend more time at the museum we only had 30 minutes. You really need a couple of hours. The track is awesome... we got to do a few laps around it during a stop over on the Bandit Run

Anita Caine

If u like vintage bikes and cars this is the place for you...if u like to race or watch Porsche racing, this is the place for you too. Great motorcycle trip also

Sondra Darlington

Fantastic! Beautiful displays....loads of antique, vintage and modern motorcycles; many cars...lots of history.

Chris Bundy

Great way to spend your day. Really need at least two days to see everything. Very clean, organized, and fun!

jjpea

Place packed full of bikes. Even the building was cool. Just wish their gift shop had a bigger selection.

Fred Gamblin Jr

Fantastic display of motor vehicles etc! Lighting is exceptional for captoring each display individually or as a group. Recommended watching the short video from the theater first. If you visit during a track day, you are in for a bonus treat. The sound of motors roaring by on the track really set this museum on top of places every motorcycle enthusiasts should want to visit.

Jay Alexander

Best museum we've ever visited. We spent 4 1/2 hours. We took the guided tour, then went back through on our own.

Sierra Palmer

I truly love this place. I have been a fan of the museum since I was a kid. The new addition put it over the top. I love this place so much I got a barbers tag just to support it. I plan on joining the club so they can continue to add on and do a wonderful job of restoring bikes for people to look at. If you have time to stop it is worth it. The workers are amazing and friendly. They have a cool gift shop and the the place speaks for itself as soon as you walk in. If you are there for a race the amazing air conditioning is worth it alone.

Christopher Amabile

Really enjoyed the little excursion out here. It really has SO MANY motorcycles and cars. It was a lot of fun. And a beautiful outside park-type area as well. Highly recommended.

Kelly Dawn Anderson

Amazing day of walking through a motorcycle🏍️ museum with fun history about their relationship to bicycles, tricycles, four wheeled vehicles, lawn mowers and watercraft⚓ There is American 🇺🇸and world history, people who ride for a cause and those who've ridden around the world 🗺️ featured throughout the building. 🏎️Indi car racing and an amazing track that you too can get trained to drive on it like a race car driver...🏁 Just keep your speed safe on the road with the rest of us regular drivers 😜

Bruce DiPlacido

Even people who aren't in love with motorcycles can appreciate this place. Absolute genius vision of George Barber. I've never seen anything else like it. Even my 2 little girls love coming here. Works of motorcycle art for days

Brian

Best deal on the planet if you like Motorcycles. 1st class all the way. You could easily spend half a day here. Just go if in the area. It won't disappoint! I'd give 10 stars if they let me!

Jarrett Roberts

Great Museum, over 900 motorcycles and the biggest lotus collection I've seen. The bike races were amazing to watch definitely worth the money to get in if you are a motorcycle or car person.

Tabi Lawson, MBA

Five hours was not enough. Fantastic motorcycle and car museum. I highly recommend going. The staff were all nice and the cost very reasonable.

Deryck Hart

This was is fantastic. So clean and well organized. The grounds are excellent too. The bikes are top notch.

Sam Williams

Very cool place, I've never seen so many motorcycles in one place!!! There are cars too, so that was an extra fun bonus! Look at the bottom of the elevator at the basement level for a good laugh.

Sam NA

Fantastic journey though wheeled sports! Motorcycle and auto racing as well as hot rods and cruisers. The artwork and literature is incredible!

James “TheNoseyNeighbor”

Great experience! I would highly suggest driving the track. Reviewed by: TheMarianaJames on TikTok

Emily A. Smyder (Techology42)

Wonderful and intriguing! Even if you know nothing about the history the mechanics nor the lingo... The staff is fully attentive to your interest level and provide amazing motoring tidbits and insights. The sights are like seeking hidden easter eggs meandering from past to present and back again while navigating the 5 floors accessible via oversized elevator fit for a couple of vehicles, or saunter round the gently sloping arcs stopping to admire each & every eye-bedazzling motor transportation creation!

Philip Lepel

If you love motorcycles this museum is a must. You'll see bikes you've only read about in magazines and some you've never heard about.

Jayy frost Brewster

Amazing definitely worth stopping in if you love cars and bikes like me

Squeaky Forte

Great place to visit. The collection of motor vehicles is excellent

Grant M.

Insane amount of motorcycle and race car history in this museum. It would take multiple days to take it all in. Absolutely loved it and will be coming back. They had a sportbike track time event while I was here and it was awesome. Highly recommend if you have any interest in cars or motorcycles

Amy Bean

Fun place to visit. So many motorcycles

Ann A

Worth every penny! I surprised my S/O with a stop here because we were on a road trip and he had no idea it existed. We arrived with an hour left until closing time so we had to rush through the different floors but we’ll definitely be back some day! The guards were very friendly. Don’t forget to use your military discount!

Jasmyne “FatGirlish” bay

This was a random surprise from my husband, why Idk because I know nothing about bikes lol. But it was pretty neat and very clean with shiny bikes and cars racing outside lol

Matt Erickson

Who knew such an awesome collection was right here in Alabama? Spent a solid three and a half hours here that was fantastic so much to see! This place was far more than I expected. Take an afternoon and check it out for sure.

Carol Haywood

Facinating place even if you aren't into motorcycles. Although 5 floors of motorcycles will be appreciated my motorcycle lovers. The biggest collection of cycles according to Guiness world records. Motorcycles from when they began in 1860s to the present. Well designed building incorporating art. Take the pedestrian bridge from the building to walk out over the race track. The grounds are beautiful and Very well maintained.

Greg Thompson

Track day! Beautiful Ferrari's in the parking lot with owners willing to talk about their cars. If you are a motorcycle enthusiast, love Lotus automobiles, or love the aesthetics of manufacturing design, this is a bucket list item for YOU. Barber is a national treasure. Go. Enjoy. Share with others.

UNICORNS ON THE FLY

Wow this is a nice place. Really, really well put together. Colorful and bright. The staff was very nice and helpful. Even if you aren't a super motorsports fan, it is still a really neat building to check out.

This place was incredible. If you are a fan of motorcycles from all over the world, this is the place. You will definitely not be disappointed. Knowledgeable staff, great layout, and nice views and access to the accompanying track. It is worth the trip.

Eli

The absolute best for motorcycle lovers. They have a bit of everything, and also some unexpected gems (like old outboards). The museum is clean, with friendly and very knowledgeable staff. More than one day may be needed to fully take it all in.

David Palermo

One of the best motorsports museums I've ever visited! Plan to spend an hour or a few exploring the amazing collection of motorcycles and cars in this thoughtfully designed and displayed museum. I've been three times and will visit again in the future.

Ron Perkins

Fantastic place to visit! Took friends that were in from NY and they were wowed! It is a gem right here in Birmingham. Anyone that likes motorcycles, race cars, history and things that go fast will love this place! There's no collection like it in the world and they are displayed beautifully!

gaTechFanMike

An amazing museum, very well executed, that will amaze even visitors not into motorsports. You could probably spend days going through the entire collection if you really wanted to examine and read everything.

Trey S

So many motorcycles and info about them. Plus a track and lots of places to watch. It's very impressive to say the least.

Margaret Rystrom

So COOL! Beautiful place. Nicely presented. The grounds are also thoughtfully presented. This HAS to be a stop on your way, or even a destination, if it’s not on the way.

Jared Ethridge

This place was great. As far as being a museum, it was truly a diamond in the rough. And, as for it being a museum dedicated to motorsports, you really don't have to be a gear-head or wrench-monkey to find something enjoyable there to appreciate. It just an all-around super cool museum. Great exhibits. Mechanical artistry and history. Even the architecture and landscaping around the building were impressive. The working race track, the bridge attached to the museum going over part of it; as well as, the water features and art incorporated into the infield of the track were really impressive, too. This was more than worth the 3hr drive we made to get there. 👍👍👍

Aaron Winkler

A very impressive motorcycle museum. I'm not a huge fan of motorcycles, but even I enjoyed it. It is set up a bit like a parking garage with no interior walls, making for an impressive view wherever you look. It's a good bit of walking to see everything so those in poor shape be warned, everything is wheelchair accessible however.

James Drummond

It's safe to assume every state in the U.S. has a hidden gem or two that stands out from everything else each has to offer; for Alabama, this is that place. To simply have the largest motorcycle collection in the world is one accomplishment on its own. However, this is a "living" museum, meaning, with a few exceptions made for sentimentality or simple impossibility, every vehicle in the collection will run, given the fluids are put back in. The vehicles are a mix of fully-restored examples and untouched originals; the museum decides whether or not to restore vehicles based on several factors. It's also not just any old building, either; the several tens of thousands of square feet are walled in with five-story glass, and the whole exhibition resembles a life-sized Hot-Wheels-esque toy chest - You'll see individual "slots" for countless models lining the walls and towering alongside the central elevator, a winding ramp in the center, and 1:1 "model kits" of a few cars. It is hard to describe just how significant the variety of vehicles, memorabilia, and other details is here. Not to mention the highly-kept grounds and the 2.38mi road course pressed right up against the west side. On many days of the year, you're likely to see cars or bikes on track, such as Porsche and Mercedes experience clients. George Barber and his team have created something truly magical. Get here early on a weekend and buy the tour to accompany your admission ($30 total per person, half for admission only). You'll be in for about 2-3 hours of learning the importance of each vehicle that gets discussed, showcasing the significance of the entire operation. If you want to ask about any bike in particular, there's a good chance your guide can find it or at least have something interesting to tell about it. You'll also get to visit the restoration level on the bottom floor, which isn't otherwise open to museum guests on regular days of operation. If you're from far away and unlikely to visit again, I would find it criminal not to spend the extra cash and time. When you're ready for lunch, Rusty's BBQ is the go-to spot for a quick bite in Leeds, or you can take the drive into Birmingham proper and enjoy all the variety on offer there. The museum is also open during the special events held at the property, such as the annual Barber Vintage Festival, Indycar race weekend, and several other race and event weekends - you will need to buy admission for the event as well as the museum. Also, keep an eye out for little easter eggs that have been scattered across the property, both indoors and out.

Dayan Siri

Love this place. Somany awesome motor cycles in 5 floors from around the world. Basement was closed so only saw few classic cars. Wonderful place to visit or a date. It was raining so we did not get to walk to race track area.

S Prouty

This is a world-class museum and a bucket-list stop for anyone who calls themselves a motorcyclist. Ignore the reviews that are less than 5-stars by people that didn't know they going to an actual motorcycle museum (seriously?) or didn't think it was kid-friendly (hint - if your kids don't like motorcycles, then you might want to reflect on your parenting skills...). Anyway - this place is worth a 2-day visit, it's that good.

Sandra Wilson

This place is incredible if you are a lover of motorcycles and antique cars. You really need two days to see it . Everywhere you look, you can tell the attention to detail. Had a wonderful time!

Amber Gomez-Mueller

My one complaint is that it took me so long to visit! The collections here are insane. My Dad, a Harley enthusiast, walked around the museum for HOURS. I definitely plan on stopping by for another visit soon.

AyeRight YaBe

This is a must visit, an unbelievable collection of motorbikes unfortunately at the time none from Joey's bike, the king of the road, but none the less, this was an amazing place,

JOSH DRUMMOND

I gave it 5 stars because they don't have a selection of 100! Absolutely my favorite place with vehicles of all sorts! They had motorcycle races and car races the day I went! Absolutely love it!

Brayden Hutson

So cool it was a great learning experience for a kid like me and there should be a little food bar so you cnlan eat because it does take a little while to go through and it may make people hungry from walking

Daniel Ray

This is a hidden jewel of a museum for sure. I was born in Alabama, and I've lived in Alabama for most of my adult life and I've never heard very much about this place. If the same is true for you, let me be the first to say you've gotta see this collection.

James Mcdurmont

Absolutely loved it so many motorcycles and some race cars also. Also if you go when there is a race going on they have a bridge that goes over the track and some glass in the middle to look down. A must if you are in to motorcycles.

Lee Kaelin

This place is incredible! If you like cars and/or motorcycles this is a dreamland. Whatever you've read or heard about this museum its better in person. Super friendly staff and knowledgeable about the vehicles in the museum. This really is a 1 of a kind place. Easily worth the money and a solid 4 hrs if you take it all in. Go ahead and make your day!!

Allison Fuerst

This place is amazing. Not just for people fascinated with motorcycles. The staff was very nice. The building is just as stunning as the motorcycles and cars. You can really lose track of time because there is so much to see and take it. Great time there, definitely recommend it to anyone.

Adam Brunner

Went to the MotoAmerica race today and it was a lot of fun. Got tickets to the race and museum so we could check out all the vintage bikes and walk onto the bridge to watch from there as well (as I've done numerous times before). As it turns out, you can no longer just walk out there; you have to pay for a museum membership first. I love that museum, but this seems like a sleezy cash grab. If you go to watch a race, save your pennies and don't bother with the museum. Needless to say, I probably won't be going back.

RN Deb

Wow!!! Amazing place! Racetrack and museum! Friendly and helpful staff. Easy access, great parking, amazing landscaping - but they could focus more on pest control, red ants, particularly where visitors frequent. I got bit by a pile of red ants when I stood on the walking path. I had to wait outside with my epi-pen to monitor for a reaction. Painful but I was okay, yet this experience was unnecessary if they would have focused on pest control more. Clean and beautiful grounds other than that.

James Wilson

Everyone Loves the Barber Motorsports Museum! It is Truly Motorcycle Heaven! The Taj Mahal of Motorcycles, with an Incredible Lotus Car Collection thrown in for Good Measure!Plan on being there from the Time they Open to Closing Time and You will Treasure every Minute!

Francis Lewis

It was one of the most amazing places I have been to, the motorcycles that were on display !!!! Second to none

John Gipson

If you're into Motorsports, especially motorcycles, then this is the place for you.

Michael Conchscooter

A remarkable tribute to motorcycling since its inception. You can enjoy the machines up close, be reminded of your lost youth and see mechanical marvels you’ve only ever read about. Pay the modest entry fee ($15 the last time I was there) and you can wander all day unmolested by anyone in a serene and peaceful environment dedicated to so many lovely bikes. There are cars too but naturally four wheels good, two wheels better. I never miss a visit when I’m in Birmingham and my family knows to set me aside a day for my pilgrimage. Yours should too.

Michael

If you like motorcycles, this is the plave to visit. If you like racing, this is also the place to be. Visited museum several times and it amazes me everytime. Don't forget to take a glance downstairs where the racecars of yesteryear reside.

Richard Eddy

Fun place to visit. Staff very friendly.

Scott Ledding

Loved this place so many motorcycles. Workers very knowledgeable good way to spend the day out with family.

Hemal Patel

Largest motorcycle collection in the world. A must visit for any gearhead.

Дядя Женя

Best motorcycle collection I'll seen so far! Amazing! Shame on me for living in Alabama so many years and just visiting it last week)!

brett phillips

I go to Barber as often as I can. Words cannot describe the majesty of this place. The facility is top notch. You would not believe the sheer amount of incredible bikes. Something for everyone. Incredible Ducati and BMW collection (my favorites). Harley, Triumph, Yamahas, Bultacos, Nortons, Hondas. Past, present, dirt, street, race, and prototype. Cant say enough. I've taken "non-motorcycle" people and they were blown away.

Nathan heflin

Great museum with plenty of historic cars and motorcycles to see. Beautiful facility and friendly staff. Always a great experience.

Terry Martin

You won't be disappointed!! There's is better than mine.

Daniel Lewis

Went for Barber Tag days. Got a few laps on the track. The facility was beautiful, the collection is great for both 2 wheel and 4 wheel fans, and the staff is friendly. The track is fun, even at a spirited pace of 55 mph.

Rodney Bolden

Didn't think I would enjoy this museum as much as I did. Plenty of great looking vehicles over the history. Awesome for any motor sport enthusiasts or family. Military friendly.

Kim Wagner

Great experience being there not the last time I had been there. So much to see all motorcycle was in mint condition

Mike Carrasco

Awesome museum,wonderful staff.Great place to enjoy the motorcycle history.I truly recommend this place if you haven't visited.

Mauricio Molina

What a place, motorcycle fans and public in general will have a blast in this place, an incredible collection of motorcycles, from the early beginnings to the most sophisticated examples if today, is a good thing that your ticket is valid all day because you will need a lunch break so you don't get overloaded with all the well kept and amazing amount of displays.... From motorcycles used in the wars, racing, cruising, road, etc you will find it here, I was so glad I found the display if the motorcycle I owned long ago, the Honda VFR 750, Take your time and enjoy this incredible place... For some reason I like the old, old mitorcycles,, the beginning of it all

Michael Mclaughlin

I have never owned or even been on a motorcycle, but as a fan of artistry, creativity and design, I found myself to be almost continually amazed and delighted by the motorcycles and cars on display. And there was even a lawnmower, if that's more your thing.

Ron Maffei

This museum is beautiful on the outside and inside. Great exhibits if you were a motorcycle fan or even any motorsport than you’ll enjoy this museum. The caveat and why it has three stars is that they don’t like children in the museum. My kids are young and of course they like motorcycles. The Staff followed us around like we were about to write off on one of their motorcycles making us feel extremely uncomfortable. The manager came up and comforted us after one of the security guards made a scene because one of our kids bumped the stroller into a stand. Not a motorcycle not anything really of any worth but the stand buy a motorcycle. If you’re going to go go with adults don’t bring your children.

David Elder

So many bikes on display to see, take your time and enjoy this collection. We spent a few hours there and really enjoyed it.

Andrew Christopher

Amazing collection of motorcycles and vintage race cars! Everything in there runs! Beautiful complex and property! Must go if your in the area!

Ron Barnes

Great day at the races three day event👨‍⚖ and also visit the 5 story museum building of 🏍 motorcycles 🏍. I rate Barber Motorsports museum and park five stars. There are plenty of hotels/motels in "Leeds, Alabama" to stay at 15 minutes from Barber Motorsports. …

Javier C.

Cool place to visit if u like anything with a motor. Lot's to see for a great value admission. U can actually drive a car(i think. Not sure). So cool.

Tavia Mounce

This was one of the best museums I've ever been in. The open lay out, giant windows that overlook the track, the detailed information on every display...this is a must for all motorcycle enthusiasts! There is clearly thought and care put into Barber. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and will definitely be back!!

Luke

Absolute blast and would recommend this stop for any motorcycle or car enthusiast. More here to see than your mind can comprehend.

WILLIAM LUEBBERS

Top notch museum never disappoints. Turn nine membership is a must for the great Barbers experience.

Ann Martin

A true gem. A top notch museum. Has an enormous collection. If you are an enthusiast of motorcycles you must visit!

Nicole A

My husband loves anything on wheels that goes fast. We spent about 1.5 at the museum and he was as happy as can be and I was not at all bored out of my mind. It’s a good place for the whole family. There are three levels (and some in between) of bikes and cars. And you can walk on the paths outside above and around the racetrack to see members enjoying their own cars. Adults price was $16.50. The ticket is good all day so you can leave and come back.

Jeffrey McGowan

Alot of street bikes, cafe racers with a decent mix of vintage Indians and Harley Davidson motorcycles. About 1,600 bikes. There is also a mix of vintage race cars, but go for the bike. I'd say plan to spend a full 3-4 hours.

B Gasque

OMG. This new wing they added is super. With @ 1,800 Motorcycles under one roof. 2.3 mile track and 880 acres. Barber VINTAGE Festival is awesome!!

Paulo Guzzo

What an amazing experience. The best Museum in the World.

3showstoppers

Great experience. I'm not into motorcycles but I thoroughly enjoyed this place filled with all the vintage motorcycles and cars.

Antonio Gonzalez IV

Such an amazing place. If you are a fan of motorcycles or race cars you have to visit.... So many amazing machines, I even found a few models that I used to own from years and years ago! This place brought a smile to my face from the second I got here...Vintage Military Bikes, to one of the first motorcycles ever made, to the turbine powered Y2K, Cruisers, Dirt Bikes, Race Bikes, and everything in between! Amazing collection!

Sayani Das

We had an awesome experience, got to see 1700+motorcycles under one roof! My husband being an motorcycle enthusiast had a lifetime experience!

David Gomes

This was my second time visiting the museum. I could never get tired of this place. They always have some cool new stuff on display

Nixx 901

I camped on the hilltops camp ground for the barber fest... it was great! Every different kind of bike you could possibly think of was there. View from the hilltop was great only complaint is not being able to run your generator all night

Divya R

We came here on a Sunday and spent a good 2 hours and 45 minutes strolling around inside and outside the museum (noon was the perfect time to go-very few people). To our surprise, there were more motorcycles than cars, which was cool. Views of the open racetrack were awesome, as you could even stand above a glass walkway outside and watch the speedy boys/girls zip by beneath you. The indoor exhibit was exquisite. Best place to check out in Birmingham!

Sue Howell

Great place! Highly recommended for car/motorcycle fans.

M

Incredible collection. Worth going for the lotus collection alone. Wish we had several more hours here. You could easily spend an entire day.

Michelle Akins

Great visit. I like that each vehicle had a little background available. There is a nice range from old and new. Some are in their original non restored form.

Jeff Fugate

It’s amazing, motorcycles, cars, boat motors, even a lawn mower. All pristine and the place is spotless. Amazing!!!

Susan Weber

Fabulous! World class operation. Gotta see it to believe it. I went with my husband, thinking it would be okay. But it was so much better than okay. Fantastic!

Ty Reed

One of my absolute favorite places on the world to visit. I've been coming here to watch races and do track days since it opened and never get tired of the place. Not only is it a great place to do track days, but the museum is incredible in scope, content, and magnitude. It is simply unmatched. And to top it all off, the grounds surrounding the track and museum are populated with cool art and sculptures.

Alex Walter

It's always worth to spend 4 to 6 hours or hole day to visit this Place. With the new Extension offen the Building it's awesome View to the race track.

Carl Swofford

An outstanding museum. Staff is great. Displays are beyond belief. Clean, bright, airy and excellently maintained. It has a gear room where bikers can store their gear while visiting. Also hS views of a portion of the track. Plan to spend a full day.

Rusty Shackleford

Fantastic place to visit if your interested in bikes.

V. F.

Awesome experience for someone with the passion for classic motoring. Many years ago, when I was a kid, I saw various Formula-1 cars in magazines, and I was mesmerized. Well, it's only at this museum when I finally saw some of these cars in real life. Experience of a lifetime!

Michael James

Had a great time ! The collection and history that is displayed is unbelievable. We will be back for another visit.

William Clark

Simply amazing. A true Alabama treasure. Motorcycles, cars, etc. Do not miss this world class museum. Each piece has a description and history behind it.

Aaron K Borchardt

Passed by the sign many times in my travels on I20, and finally stopped in one day. I think I spent about 3 hours here and took hundreds of photos. Incredible comprehensive collection from the earliest Harleys to the most recent of bikes. Some you think you'd never see in your life, you'll get the chance here!

Bennie Blackledge

Great place to visit, each piece with a little info and history

Roberto Gonzales

Hard to explain in words, one of the best museums i have ever been in. This was exceptional on every level. Staff was also friendly and informative. Would go everyday for a week if I had the chance.

Marilou Grimes

A must stop if you are traveling in the area. 5 floors of spectacular motorcycles, race cars and other items.

Leif Olson

This place was amazing. If your a gear head or just have an appreciation for motorcycles this is the place for you. #birmingham#fun#thingstodo

Joe Limbaugh

Not only is this a great place to see vintage motorcycles and cars, it's a terrific meeting venue with excellent food!

Carmel Rubin

I was impressed by how quickly they replied to my email pointing get out their placard misidentified Bruce Anstey as being British. They said they would immediately correct it to reflect his accurate nationality. He's a Kiwi!

honakerm

Most amazing motocycle (plus) collection. People kept saying they were just overwhelmed by the collection.

Amanda Rowe

Beautifully done museum. Definitely plan to spend a few hours here!

Charlton Cruz

This is the best museum I have ever been to in the south. I stayed here for hours pouring over all of the history on display. They really cram a motorcycle into every nook and cranny. 90% of the exhibits are motorcycles with the other 10% being lotus sports cars and a few other historic vehicles. I'd recommend walking across the bridge over the track and watching drivers training with the porsche experience center. As a car guy I loved it!

MrTennc

One of the best museums (of any type) I have seen. Displayed vehicles are kept immaculate. If you have any interest all in motorcycles, you need to visit.

John Guma

Absolutely the premier antique and vintage motorcycle museum in the world. Words cannot describe it. Must see if your a vintage motorcycle buff.

Sheriff_Branford

Mr. Barber has built a haven for Motorsports enthusiasts. The staff are all friendly, and the facility is IMMACULATE! I was there for work, and couldn't stay long-enough to see it all. I will be back.

shnitzel12

Amazing! I was pressed for time and only spent about three hours at Barber's. My mistake. Give yourself plenty of time to view the incredible collection. This architecture was fantastic as well. So much to see 🙂 …

Kai Grimm

Amazing number of museum masterpiece motorcycles. Ford and Lotus cars are represented too. The photo is just one small corner of the 6 level attraction.

Ivan Smith

This museum is about the best I ever been to. Being a motorcycle enthusiast and rider I was in aww. I've seen some I've rode and hundreds I would love to ride. If you ride don't miss the chance to see what's going on there. If you ask me would I go back? The answer would be be in a heartbeat. Thank you for letting me see your collection!!

RonnieandJanice Gulledge

An absolutely beautiful place. A rare sight to see as far as well maintained facilities. Extremely well versed staff. I can't say enough what an awesome place to visit.

OSHENT SIANO

There is no other place in the world with this collection of cars and motorcycle A Must visit place if you around or passing by.

Awesome place to go especially if you are into motorcycle and cars.

Mad Fleetwoodz

Awesome display of motorcycle history! Plan to spend the day!!

Jerry “22VFFV”

Put on your walking shoes and be ready to have your mind blown by the history you will experience. Such a pleasure to see the history behind the two wheel obsession that so many of us have! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Douglas Carey

This place is unreal. It's a great way to spend a few hours. We happened to go during a televised race which made it even better. Absolutely loved it, and have already recommended it to many friends and family.

Ronald Heyne (Ron)

You just have to go see it because no matter how I explain it you just won't really appreciate it. 5 floors filled with motorcycles 🏍️ THE BIGGEST COLLECTION IN THE 🌎 WORLD …

Michael Trump

This is an amazing place to go if you want to see classic motorcycles, racecars, and an active race track. All my kids managed to pay attention the entire time since there was just so much to see.

Mariela Cuellar

That place is amazing. You can see motorcycles and cars really beautiful.

Michael Tritthart

One of the best museums that I have ever been to! Amazing. Plus the track is awesome.

Tim Spatzier

This is more than a museum it is a absolute must see

don maxwell

Great museum! So many exhibits, it's almost overwhelming. Must see if you are in the area.

Matthew Jalbert

Such an awesome time place!!! My wife and I loved it from cars to motorcycles to some cool old boat motors they have it all!!!

Jody “Joe D”

For anyone that like motorcycle...this place is like heaven. So many bike to see and appreciate.

arol Hooker

Unbelievable collection of vehicles, bicycles and other things with motors. Hard to believe one person owns all this and at one time was a dairy farmer. Talk about a lot of cheddar!

Omar J.

Looks good, the bikers Will love this place, the racing cars nice stage also.

Joe Arnold

An amazing stop!! My family and I stopped here for about two hours just shortly after driving through Birmingham. As we walked in and looked around, we were in awe. Cars and motorcycles of every kind lined up five floors high... A real shock factor for anyone who's ever came in here. Several historical displays , including Lotus' Mark VI, Harley Davidson's military motorcycle displays, as well as Harley Davidson's Model 5-D, their first V-twin engine. Worth the visit; we could've easily spent the whole day there!! Here's a picture of their "motorcycle Christmas tree" as we called it!!

Ray Chamy

This is an amazing place! It is a must see for motorcycle enthusiasts!

Leesa Veitch

Alabama's Jewel of the South. The largest collection of the history of motorcycles, Indy style cars, And million dollar Master pieces of automobiles. The grounds are just as spectacular. Keep your eyes peeled for the little things unexpected that gives you a glimpse of the sense of humor of Mr George Barber.

James Blanks

Great place, lots to see. Really could have spent more hours and still not really seen everything.

Javier Mendoza

Largest motorcycle collection, a lot of history and information about motorcycle development, phenomenal race track, a must visit place.

Amazing experience If you love motorcycles you have to visit this place at least once

Karl Perry

Motorcycles, Motorcycles every where, even stacks of motorcycles. And cars...Lots of Lotus.

PerformanceBaggers WestCoast

Absolutely amazing place!! I can't say how awesome and complete this collection is ! A must do for aby motorcycle nut!

Sanford Darlington

I was in awe of this place when I walked into the door! If you love anything motorcycles, this is the place! They have 5 stories of vehicles, mostly motorcycles, but from all the motorcycle racing types and dating back into the late 1800's! I loved their race cars and especially all the vintage F1 cars! If you're in the area, definitely visit, but be prepared to spend a few hours and wear comfortable shoes. If they are running the Porsche 911's around the track while you're there, go to the fifth floor and watch them awhile. Amazing! Will definitely go again.

Liberty Cosworth

An extremely high quality Museum, on par with the finest museums in the world. So many motorcycles in extraordinary displays, and mind boggling in number and variety.

mark lewis

If you like sports car racing or motorcycles of any persuasion, you need to see this place. It has just about anything and everything from Schwinn whizzers to Porsche 956. And there is a racetrack with the Porsche driving experience beside the museum.

Daniel Wilson

World Class - Wow. This is a must see for any motor head of any type!

Ronald Miller

Of you are a motorcycle enthusiast or rider, this museum has something for everyone. The largest collection of motorcycles assembled in one place in the world.

907 Z06

This museum is spectacular. If you are into any motorsports this is a must go!

Chase Brannon

Magnificent. I visited to see family, and we decided to come here and it was an amazing museum. So many bikes and cars, old and new. My favorite part was probably getting to go out on the bridge over the track and watch and hear the Porche's run the track. They sounded so great!

Miha Virag

Amazing place we definitely come back

M

I"d Recommend this place to anyone that's a race enthusiast. There's 5 stories of awesome bikes and cars. The turn 9 membership is worth it if you are interested into restoring vehicles as it includes seminars on restoring.

James Simpson

I attended a Stihl workshop to obtain my silver certification. The place is amazing!! And the staff was very welcoming .., we got to see what a lot don't. The behind the scenes is the most exciting... So I guess we will be going again in the morning.. ...

I enjoyed from here , it is amazing and super for all of the people in world

This is exactly what a museum of any topic should aspire to be. You don’t even need to be a motorcycle or car nut to appreciate what Mr. Barber has curated here. It is not to be missed if you’re in the area.

Jeremy Butler

Incredible collection. Mostly vintage motorcycles, but other cool motorsports as well.

P E

Great museum and attraction with thousands of vintage and modern motorcycles and race cars.

Sherm. Carston

Could have spent 2 days just in the museum.

AJ Craig

Even if cars and cycles aren't your thing, this place was amazing! Spent about 3 hours there, and could have spent twice that! Artfully curated! Interesting and rare examples of all manner of autos!

Rickey Gooch

Totally awsome place if you are into motorcycle's or any kind of Motorsports

Karen Davidson

Lots of interesting things to look at and watching the racers on the speedway was enjoyable. Lots of little surprise things to see. Definitely worth the ticket price! Oh, and the place is immaculate!

Nick Manno

This place is unbelievable. Hundreds of motorcycles

Justin Hodges

Barber is the gold standard in Motorsports. The facility is world class. Imagine a Willy Wonka Motorcycle Museum. It's that incredible. The beautiful view of the world class road course in included. You will love it ans so will your kids, even if you aren't a motorcycle enthusiast. It's just that fantastic.

J DeVries

First class for all those 2 wheel buffs and a fine racing venue as well!

John & Tracey Cook

Outstanding collection of motorcycles and classic race cars through the decades!

Jared Snyder

It is a magnificent place. I will visit again.

Barber's/Grand Prix of Alabama has never disappointed and this year was no exception. We trailor-camped Thursday - Sunday. Staff very well organized; grounds kept clean. We were informed prior to, and were prepared for no hook-ups nor dumping stations on the grounds.

Josiah Lopez

Great experience! Must see for motorcycle enthusiasts. Lovely views all around the museum.

Craig Lenhard - rvrguyd

4 levels of current, vintage and antique motorcycles and track cars. No food services. Track available to run for a fee.

Jackie Brockman

Forgot to say how amazing this place was! What an experience for anyone that loves motorcycles/cars in general. Definitely worthy the admissions price. Tons of parking as well so if you have an RV you can fit.

Camp Herndon

Extremely good. It has over 900 motorcycles on exhibit, and many other cars. They also host large auctions, and the track there (which is a separate company) sometimes will host track days. I had a blast at the museum. Please visit.

John Marks

A mind boggling collection of motorcycles, Lotus race cars, and enough other cars to keep a car enthusiast happy, all located in a fascinating building with views of the active racetrack, amazing displays, and excellent descriptions (each a great story) for nearly every item. If you’re a motorcycle enthusiast, plan on at least several hours to go through the collection.

Randy Baratka

Magnificent motorcycle museum! Clean, well laid out with a variety of restored and preserved motorcycles. Very impressive restorations. Some replicas, and some are reproductions. Most of them look like you could start them and ride off.

Rene Arevalo

Great experience for motorsports enthusiasts, you can see just about every type of motorcycle ever built here, as well as many care cars. Plan to be here for about 2 hours or more. There are 5 huge floors full of history here.

Thomas Gregerson

Love it here !!! If you enjoy fast bikes and cars, then this is your place !

Roger Pruitt

Way too many motorcycles. You cant see them. Love it. Saw bikes I've only heard about. You should go.

Beautiful place to walk, watch cars on the track and amazing museum.

Lucie Gutierrez

I attended with a group event, and prepayed in advance. We got a group deal. But the place is amazing and huge. I especially enjoyed walking over the race track and the garden.

Numeria Zayas

This was an amazing visit. There were so many motorcycles on display. If you enjoy Motorsports and especially motorcycle racing then you will love it here.

Alex Rodriguez

Coming from someone who's not that interested in motorcycles this place was truly overwhelming, in a good way. My father was estatic however. The Indian cycles were absolutely beautiful. The race course was cool, hearing the cars there for track day zooming by while walking through the museum was a very nice touch.

Chris Stanfield

This place is Mecca for those who love all things motorcycle. Not only is Barber an amazing collection of motorcycles, it’s one of the nicest museums I’ve ever been to. I highly recommend a day trip to Barber.

David Scott

More amazing stuff to look at than you could look at in 2 days at a reasonable price.

To really look at everything in this Museum you'll need two days. There's just so much to look at.
