Reviews of Volo Museum
Dan Heffernan
This place is awesome. They are open from 10am to 5pm, and there's plenty for the entire family to do. If you like antiques, the antique mall alone can take an entire day to go through. I didn't visit Jurassic Gardens this time but I spent pretty much open to close going through the entire museum and checking out some of the antique mall. There's games and an outdoor play area for the kids when the weather is warmer. There's some really cool movie cars on display and even snowmobile, boat, and bike exhibits. If you like military memorabilia they have a pretty well showcased section from various wars, there's a crime and punishment section that costs $2 extra and is well worth it. You'll get a lot of walking in so make sure to wear comfortable shoes. If you visit everything the museum offers you'll walk over 5 miles.
I was really impressed with the way the cars were displayed by theme / era. Staff is very friendly and helpful. It's a drive from where I live but I plan on making it a point to come here at least twice a year if not more.

It's a really cool museum for all! Even if you're not a car enthusiasts you'll still appreciate everything that the museum has to offer. My only issue was there's a strong smell when you get to the Disney/kids area I don't really know how to explain it but also if you have allergies I would recommend taking meds as the military section can be a little dusty. Overall, it was a good experience! You can also check out their shops where they carry a lot of vintage/antique trinkets.

A trip to the Volo museum was well worth the hike from the city. This is an attraction for all ages. Whether you a car enthusiast or a kid who wants to see the cars featured in popular movies and Disney displays. They have old cars restored cards, bikes, mopeds, pedal cars, snow mobiles, vaudeville puppet shows, Disney figurine makers, the ninja turtle pizza van, the terminator car, Johnny cash guitar car, the Barbie cars, all in various showrooms for you to walk through. Ending in an old decorated styled pizza parlor. They’ve put so much thought into every detail!

Really a great attraction! There is something for almost any age group.
We thoroughly enjoyed the old time carriages and campers as well as the scooter collection, so it's not just cars.
Lots for little kids with the Disney character displays and then pizza parlor, candy, ice cream options etc.
Great place!
We will be back to browse the antique shops in site!

Such a great experience! There are approx 10 museums all with a different theme. Antique cars, cars from movies, Disney theme, music hall, tractors, war, vintage mobile homes, trains, and a torture/gangster museum. Something for everyone's interest. Easy to walk through everything in about 6 hours if you're looking in detail or faster if you're just breezing through. The coolest part was the vintage arcade games in the Disney part of the car museum. I also loved the music hall with all the self playing live band vintage music machines.
Bring $1 or $5 bills to get tokens for some of the interactive parts of the exhibits. There are machines to change out for tokens but the majority are cash only.
There is a little cafeteria with pizza etc at the start!
There is a path to follow but besides the car museum you go from building to building so you can break away if you don't want to do all the museums in one day.
Valerie Freeman
This place is so fun. So many interesting exhibits. It's just not cars! And the card that are on display are fun! Took us about 2.5 hours to explore and then 3 hours for the antique mall. We did not do the Jurassic land.
joanna mitchell
Really enjoyed it, and the price of admission isn't bad at all. Lots of interesting things to see. Highly recommend. We'll go back again next time we're in the area just to see their changes and new exhibits.
Jessica Duran
Very nice exhibit my kids loved it! The new park is great as well. However it is on the small side so a little over priced at $15 for anyone 5 and over it only took about 20 min to walk through. The food is also very expensive one we got 2 slices of pizza, and one hot dog and it was over $30.
Kerry Anderson
Went for birthday. I enjoyed the experience very much. Different care designs and growing up as a kid, I remember watching TV shows and liking the different cars. Brought back a lot of memories that is for sure. It is difficult to navigate through the 58 acre museum with not the best signs.
They have old school cars that are for sale as well. Overall, it was a great experience. They even have an antique mall which has many interesting treasure in there.
Gary Pritts
A super fun "car" museum, but with much more to do and look at! A variety of exhibits to keep the whole family entertained for the whole day!
Plenty of cars to keep the auto enthusiasts focused all day too!
A "don't miss"!
Edward Kellogg
Being an old car nut, I enjoy walking around and seeing the different makes and models of cars. They do have quite a collection of cars that can be purchased if you have the money. The antique mall is also nice to walk around and find things that may interest you.
Elina Zhuravleva
A little expensive for such an exhibition, but my son really liked it. Hot dog for 10$ also seemed overpriced, but the restored animatronic stage show smoothed the price a bit.
Fun place for kids!
Yllka Gaxhaj
We love this place, have been there 4 times last year with the kids and they love all the cars. It also has the dino garden amd the antiques shop which is pretty cool too. Should stay there at least 3 hours to fully enjoy it
Becca Thelen
If I could give 10 stars I would! Was our first time there and was totally impressed! So much to see, and completely kept the attention of my 6 yr old! Food was good for what you could order. 😋 the entire building was so clean, and all the employees were super friendly and helpful.
We were able to park in the garage, and was only $15 for the entire day!
Over all worth every penny!!
Andrea Downing
My 11 yr old is so interested in animatronic bands from showbiz pizza and Chuck e cheese. We came for the bands but loved everything there was to see. It was her best day ever!!
FDM
Amaizing place to go with friends or families, they got a playground outside and an old cafeteria inside with a lot of interesting things. The Dino area is not to big but ok for that place.
stuff are friendly and they help with any questions they you may have.
Erin Matijevich
Expensive, but fun. Extra fees for everything. Also wish there was more ventilation in the car buildings. The "car" smell is overwhelming. The place is clean and well cared for. We really enjoyed Jurassic Gardens too. Great way to spend a couple hours!
Sandra Wright
So much to see (if you love cars)! There is something for everyone. There are various showrooms and a dinosaur garden which is great for the little ones. There were some beautiful cars to look at, classic and modern. A military showroom with vehicles, displays and memorabilia from the various wars. There is a Disney showroom which was amazing. There are rides and games for the kids in this room. That is just a few of the showrooms. Oh, can't forget about the celebrity car room. Loved it!!
Amber Jones
Our family of 7 loved it. Kids are ages 10-15. The Jurassic gardens was an assortment of animated dinosaurs. My kids were too old to enjoy that portion but the rest of the museum was awesome.
Tamika Clemons
Fun experience, and great for the family! Something for everyone to enjoy. From cool vintage cars, to modern, then cartoon displays, and movies.
James Brown
If you a car person visit. If you are a movie buff- visit. If you have kids - visit. It’s awesome- we had a great time and we were on a time crunch. But we really enjoyed it and saw tons of cool cars. The kids loved the Dino portion too.
Ken Pannier
Much bigger and much more variety of vehicles than we ever expected !
Many crazy, fun, one of a kind cars, bikes, cycles, military, tractors and movie vehicles plus a huge selection of autos For Sale.
Michael Ammer
We had a great time. We went with our daughter and our grandchildren. Lot's of fun stuff here. My grandson loved the dinosaur part. He liked the train, and all the tractors as well.
Samuel Alvarez
Awesome, I really enjoyed seeing all the cars I watched growing up in the 70 and 80. Plus cars from movies. Always wanted to go, never had the chance til today. I'll be back for sure.
Karolina Piedel
What a wonderful place. We visited a lot of different museums but never got around to go visit this one untill today. Yes if you have children over the age of 5 it gets a little pricey for a family but very worth it. There's things for adults and children to see. Great selection of cars older and new ones and the jurassic garden was a big excitment for pur little ones. Only thing we didn't really get to see was the military exhibit because it was quite loud and our kids were simply scared. Will definitely visit again!
Madeline Negron
Great place. Added attractions made it a perfect outing for the whole family. Lots to see & do. More than a car museum.
Bobby Dye
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Caleb, Samy, and Danielle were a pleasure to deal with. I sold 2 cars to them and I feel as if they gave me a fair price for both. Quick and easy transaction! Thank you guys for being so easy to deal with.
Eric John
This place is so cool if you like transportation/ automobilia. The RV section was very well done as were all the other exhibits. 10/10 will go again as it has changed every time I go.
Will
If you or your kids like dinosaurs, this place is worth visiting. It’s pricey, but the collection of classic cars and Hollywood automobiles makes it worthwhile.
I was really impressed with dinosaur exhibit in terms of its accuracy. Oviraptor as a caring parent and plaque explaining T-Rex probably had feather-like structures are two examples of this “up-to-date” info.
Our kids thought the dinosaurs were fascinating, but we’re quite scared by the war zone recreation in the military vehicle display. They also enjoyed sitting in a real Indy Car and playing on the huge playground.
The walkways are narrow and doors a very frequent so it’s best to leave the stroller at home.
My only complaint is you’re forced to go through the gift shop to exit the dino area.
Karl Bates
Great selection of cars, a lot actually for sale. A little difficult to navigate through the displays, with steep ramps if you have a wheelchair it could be difficult.
Rick Buchanan
More than just a great collection of cars. There's a little something there for everyone. Definitely recommend checking it out if you've never been there.
Nancy Philippe
My daughter and her 2 cousins loved it. But I swear they enjoyed the playground more than the dinosaurs or cars 😂 😂
The girls are 5 & nephew is 6. Spent 3.5hrs there and it was worth it. Def recommend ❤️
Chuck Gasso
A must must go! So much to do for the whole family. 6 yr grandson and my 45 yr old self were entertained the whole time.
Phyllis Califf

Caro
Fun museum and very educational. The cars from earliest to movies to famous people. Loved being able to see inside the cars. War area was being reworked but we were able to tour through it. Will go back to spend more time there. WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm. Interesting to see how much was changed and improved. Campers were fun to see how little they were at first. Had snow mobiles from the first made. I can't put the detail we saw throughout the museum in this review. Just too much. We didn't do Crime and Punishment or the Dinosaurs. We weren't sure how long we would spend and we only had 1 day. All the workers we met, even mechanics who were busy were friendly and helpful. Buildings were not all connected, so we did have to go outside to get to the next one. Not just a few steps to the next building. Not far, but if it was inclement weather you'd get wet or cold. I use a Zoro scooter to get around when there is a lot of walking. Some of the doorways did not have enough room for me to swing out and hit the doorway square. Had to lift the back end around. My granddaughter is in a wheelchair. She had no trouble. If my scooter had been shorter, it would have worked better. Aisles were big enough to make it easy to navigate. War area was a bit congested. Single file mostly. We will be going back. Could have spent a lot more time, but we wanted to make sure we got through all of what we paid for. We took 3 hours. I think I saw a sign that said it could be done in 2 hours. I wouldn't do it that fast! Crime and Dinosaur are extra. Crime age restricted to 12 and up. My sister says it's very graphic. Cafeteria style eating. Pizza, nachos, soft drinks. Not much else. Not great either. But a good size place to sit down and eat.
Derrick Dytkiewicz
Really enjoyed the whole experience...Amazing car collection...Jurasic world is really cool...Something for everyone...Kids will absolutely love this place..
Luticia Tolentino
We paid for 6 people to go to the dinosaur part, while it was nice, we thought it was a bit expensive. My mom, paid for both the cars and the dinosaurs and she thought the car portion was the best bang for the buck.. if you are a larger family (like 5 or more), you might be better off getting the membership in the long run... now the food was good, the employees were very nice, the exhibits were nice, and the park was great! It's kind of far for me, but I would recommend this to people who live closer... My sister loved it so much, she wants to have her birthday there...
KE Abney
I went there in November 2019 and I liked it and it was enjoyable to see and visit. Especially the old cars and the classic cars and the muscle cars and the cars that were in the movies.
Laura Peterson
This place was really cool! My mom and I took my dad here for a belated birthday celebration, but we were surprised that all 3 of us thought it was cool! There was A LOT to look at! The "rooms" (they're actually enormous and more like full buildings) are absolutely packed with cars (I'd hate to be the one trying to park them.) We looked at the sports cars, celebrity and movie cars, and the exhibit right before the movie car room which might have been custom cars? There was a military exhibit we ran out of energy before we could check out. They have a second exhibit going that is Dinosaur themed, but that is extra and we really came for the cars. The cool thing is they say they change everything up every month, so you can come back and see something new another time! My only complaint was navigation. They gave us a map but it was REALLY hard to navigate around. We went out of order because we couldn't find the first section-the weird thing is that it's by the ticket window, no one said anything about how to get there when we paid. After you pay and get the bracelet (it has a chip which opens the gate to get into every section) you are supposed to continue to the little diner- when you walk THROUGH the diner there is a little movie room that explains how the museum works, and then there is a door that leads to the first exhibit. Other than 20 minutes spent trying to find that entrance it was really fun and worth checking out!
Eleonora Funk
Absolutely wonderful auto museum. Amazing collection of antique cars. Definitely worth to visit.
Anna runyen
Living in this area all my life, I was shocked by how massive this place is. We didn’t leave enough time to see everything, however, we loved it. It was so intriguing to see all they had on display. They truly have something that will appeal to anyone! I would recommend this for adults, children or anyone looking for a fun day activity!
Heather Rak
My younger daughter has been obsessed with watching videos of old animatronics so we decided to come visit some at the Volo Auto Museum. I checked out half price passes from my local library but even with entry being half price it still cost about $46 for two adults if you wanted to include the jurassic gardens exhibit. Although that was for a two day pass which makes it better. My only disappointment was that 3 of the animatronics that we had come to see cost tokens to get them to play which was frustrating after paying so much to get in. We had a good time and spent about 3 hours there as we really didn't have an interest in the cars themselves, so if you are going with little ones there isn't as much to do. The park outside was nice but seems to only be included if you pay the extra for jurassic gardens.
Adam Newman
Extremely awsome experience! Buildings filled with antuiquite musical items, cars, boats, travel traillers, tractors and even kids rides. Ourside are a train locomotive & car.
Eder Ortiz
They need to update their cost online for the combo which is to get into the cars and jurasic park but overall pretty good.
Abraham Pacheco
Great place for family. About over an hour from Chicago and is worth the drive. There are different sections to visit. You can easily spend the whole day because there is a lot to see. Most of the cars are for exposition only, but there is a section to buy.
John jay
Great place to go for a family outing. Lot of thing to do with the children. Enjoyed my time there
Burt Robertson
Wow, wow, and WOW !
What a find in basically the middle on nowhere. Easy to find and get to , we just had never heard of it before.
Car lovers might want to leave your checkbooks at home you will be tempted to buy some of the dozens of museum quality car that are for sale.
So much to see we didn’t even do it all
There is also a huge antique store and a Jurassic Dinosaur exhibit too.
A lot of walking but is is basically flat.
Definitely worth making a trip to see.
Dmitriy L
Great place to spend a day. Even if you are not into car stuff.
Showroom with modern cars is not that exciting though.
William Snyder
Amazing variety of cars, vintage jukeboxes, kiddie cars, classic rv's, vast collection of militaria, kinda pricey, but you won't be disappointed.
(The jurassic part is best for kids 10 and under, but we'll done)
Rocco McVicker
Everything aligned. Update to my review- the antique shops are quite amazing to say the least. The reality is, if you like antiques, anything nostalgic, or simply want a blast from the/your past. This place has it. Thank you Volvo museum for such an amazing layout from end to end. I went back a second time with my kids, and it was tremendous.
Bond Mood
It was our first time here today even though we've lived in the Chicago area all of our lives. Currently we live downtown so it's quite a trek. We went at the spur of the moment today to see Sven. Lol. Didn't wait in line or anything, but was fun nonetheless to see him. Then we (of course) wandered around and checked out as much of the exhibits/attractions that we could muster the energy for. It was very interesting and fun. My favorites were the different types of campers/cabins, etc, from back in the day. Especially the boat/camper combo. Wow. I would have liked to have had a few benches here and there in the big car rooms. I guess it wouldn't be too practical when you need to move cars around, but it would have been great with my arthritis. I appreciated benches and chairs in other locations, however. All in all a great day. 👍
Ioana Rusu Gorecki
Fun place to bring the kiddos. A little disappointed that the carousel doesn't give rides on weekdays, but there was still a lot to keep the littles interested.
Heather Nicole
We brought our 4 kids ages 8-19 months to the museum today. I must say there was something for everyone (adults included). My husband and I could have spent hours looking at the cars and military exhibit (so cool), but my kid's favorite was hands down the dinosaur exhibit! Animated dinosaurs with awesome descriptions. We will definitely be coming back!
CAT
I bought the combo tickets for both Auto Museum and Jurassic Gardens for the whole family. It was a fun experience for all of us. We enjoyed it so much! We each saw our favorite displays. There's even a disney showroom which the kids and I loved! Showbiz Place is there too! I thought I'd never see that again. The dinosaurs were so realistic. I actually bought these tickets for my 10 year Anniversary because I ran out of ideas of what to get this man, he was pretty happy about this. We all were. I thought I was going to be bored to death honestly, but wow I had fun! Would come back again someday. Hopefully there are new stuff to see.
Donna Howell
Lots of walking lots of awesome cars great place well worth the 3 hr drive will definitely be back
Noah Katz
Awesome place! Whether you’re into cars or not this place is so great! They have all kinds of vehicles from movies, muscle cars, trains, trailers and more! Was great seeing cars from shows or movies and bringing you back to those awesome memories. They also had really old tractors and the little ride on machines that you often see at grocery stores. Great place to bring visitors if you live near by or even if you want to check out a spot outside the big city of Chicago near by. Definitely a go to spot!
Frank Baltierrez
Incredible place to visit. Stopped on our way to Lake Geneva, now I have to buy a Classic Car because the ones here blew my mind away.
Philip J Boudreau
Grandson's first trip there. Liked the cars and Jurassic display. Was captivated by the sluicing exhibit and hands on experience finding gem stones. Played in the park with other kids. Ample parking. Good for adults and children
Marie Spencer
Lots of cars and interesting things to see and do. Lots of walking, so bring along walking shoes.
Pamela Yates
If you love cars this is definitely the place you want to visit. Being able to see the old and the new plus actual cars from movies was awesome 👌 I'm also into dinosaurs so visiting the dinosaur museum seeing Blue up close love ❤️ it. All around wonderful time!
Dan Gurion
Extensive collection of very unique cars and other antique. They are constantly adding new spaces and attractions that make the Volo Museum entertaining every tmebI visit.
Lee White
We love this place every little bit of it. It was phenomenal.
Chuck Kennedy (Sifu)
Great place to spend the day. Lots to see and lots to read!
Donna Tauc
Went with a small group and was delighted by how many cars there were and the quality of the restorations. We especially liked the movie cars, like the cars from Ghostbusters and National Lampoons Vacation, etc.
Anida Dziubinska
Went for the first time. Not really knowing what to expect. And was greatly surprised. Pretty big selection of cars that were from the movies. As well as different makes and models of antiques, older, newer, newest cars. Simply, everything in between. I really enjoyed viewing them. Even though there was quite few people that day but it was not crowded.
There were also dinosaurs in another section of the museum, for the younger at heart, kids. Very nice collection as well. Not the skeletons but like the real thing. I have to say, I was impressed.
Also, there's a play ground for kids and antique mall for those interested to purchase
some items. My oh my, the selections are overwhelming, in a good way. I would like to go there someday and spend more time looking around and find some unusual things.
And lastly, I have to mention food. The pizza was very tasty, but the hot dog, oh my goodness, so delicious! Yes. Hot dog! I had some hot dogs before, but that hot dog, was simply the taste buds pleaser! Finger licking effect. No joke. And the cherry cola in the bottle. I never tasted soda this good! For real. I checked the bottle and it comes from the brewery in Wisconsin, so is not an ordinary soda.
They also have pretty good selection of sweets on the other side of the diner but I didn't try any. I think I forgot.
Overall, the trip to the Volo museum was a total success.
Michael Konda
It's a fun and great place for family visits.
Lisa Rogowski
We had a great time with our grandson! Will be going back!
Behemoth “Behemoth”
Always fun there. Jurassic Park is is something that kids are really enjoying.
tiffany Bella
Awesome place. Fun for the whole family. I'm
Not that into cars but I've been here at least 5x now over the years, and I'm excited each time to see the new exhibits. There's something for the kids, there's something dor the grandparents. Fun place
Katie Barucca
Highly recommend visiting here. There is so much to see and do! And the staff is friendly and wonderful!
Also it is a really good place to work. They are very accommodating and understanding. They are like a big family. Great work environment for sure to say the least. :)
James Smith
Ribbon cutting for new carousel business Chamber event wow they have added a lot since the last time I was there
Melissa Goad
Super fun nostalgia money pit. You pay to get in, you pay tokens to use machines and see some exhibits, you pay extra for the dinos, you pay to mine gems, you pay to play arcade games, you pay $25 for 3 ice creams, 2 waters and 2 fountain drinks. Like I said... it is really neat. It is really expensive. It gets really tiresome shelling out money for each thing after paying $140 for 5 people admission. Oh and the flippin' Dino ride plays the Barney theme song which was enough to make me want to demand a refund.
Nick Coligan
Awesome collection of antiques and vintage vehicles. Great for families and kids and old motorheads who just like looking at cool cars.
And if you're so inclined, you can purchase a piece of American motor history to add to your collection.
Barth Carlson
Called to get an appraisal for a vintage car gor insurance they got me in in less the 45 minutes from the time I called (it took me 35 minutes to get there). Awesome service and Joey was a fountain of knowledge. A great experience and will go back to see the museum when I can get a group together.
Steven Magrini
What a Great Place to Visit, so many great attractions, you will not be disappointed
Sheldon Eby
Great place to spend the day. Vintage and movie cars. Awesome!!! Great dinasour exihibit. Can spend hours. Great family entertainment!!! Huge antique mall to get vintage toys and other vintage stuff!!!
Sara VA
awesome place! I did not expect to spend so much time there and BOOM...5 hrs later...
Cedric Busse
So many vehicles from so many different eras! Strolling through the museum is a great way to spend a few hours while not sitting around. And if you do need to sit, there's a cafeteria as well!
Cheryl Nelson
Much more than I thought!
Very cool place to visit!
Matthew Barbee
Very nice place great value for price.
Wayne Teal
Worth the trip. Very affordable, with a wide range of collections to see.
Christi Simpson
Saw this on a TV show and it took us awhile to get there but I was blown away when we did. I like cars but don't love them like my husband does and I had a great time! I think I took more pictures than he did lol The cars were so cool. So much to look at other than just cars. My favorite was show biz pizza. We spent so many hours there we didn't even get thru all the antique malls. When I came home I told all my friends about it. Also I'm organizing an auction for a non profit and they are donating tickets without hesitation. We will be back many more times with our family and friends! Thanks for a great day!!
Kristen Drake
Such a fun place to visit for the whole family!!!
Robert Finlayson
Great place awesome cars fun time
Shore Patrol
Nice but too broken up. Each exhibit has a separate building, I went on a pleasant fall day so no worries if it had been a cold windy day I would not have been pleased. Many superb vehicles (4 Dusenbergs) no Pierce Arrows. The music building was excellent but the Carousel only runs on the weekends, a disappointment for grandchildren. Train cars, early campers, tractors etc we're all very good. About 115$ for 2 adults and a child including food ( limited menu. Dinosaur exhibit was a hit with children and large. This is a must see if you are interested but make no mistake this is not the Henry Ford. Once and done.
Ken Klinckman
A wonderful place, especially if your a child of the 60s and 70s. A whole lot of memorabilia, and many for sale !!
Guy Farish
Amazing place with so many cool cars etc. that you can't believe it! Spent 2 hours there and probably saw only half the exhibits, can't wait to go back!
Terry Donald
We visited the Jurassic Garden. The path through the garden takes you to numerous dinosaurs with sounds and some movement. Great for dino-loving kids. We also got a real-time injection molded dinosaur ($5).
David Liberty
This place is amazing! We'll laid out and easy to follow a path. Something for everyone to see! The cars are awesome... a must see for motor heads.
Jordan Baer
So much to see words can't explain it. Even the antique shops are multiple buildings with multiple stories on them. Plan on spending most of the day there even if you're a faster walker like me.
Garrett Ottoaz
Lots and lots of cool stuff here. Cards, toys, bikes, scooters. The RV items and boats were very interesting. Recommend there short movie at the beginning about the place and owners
Martino “Tino” Henderson
So much to see so plan an entire day around it, especially if you like to take your time to admire cars. The retail and antique shops are huge so you can spend a day just looking through the collections.
Jennifer R
I was blown away by how cool this place was. It doesn't look like an official museum from the outside but still give it a chance. You bounce from building to building and there are so many incredible things to see! Definitely stop in here if you have time.
Rebecca Bernhardt
Actually neat for a non-car enthusiast, too!! The museum is huge! We didn't get a chance to walk the whole antique mall, but we enjoyed what we saw
osman arriaga
Is really nice place I have fun with my boy the only reason I give 4 stars is because the people that work there are not friendly
Andrey Nevinskiy
Amazing car and not only car museum for the entire family where everyone will find anything to enjoy. Perfect balance for kids and adults. Loved it.
Jenny Kuhn
What a cool place! There is SO much to see, you definitely want to plan on spending the whole day here. I also had fun checking out the huge antique mall.
Eee Ach
For just the TV and movie cars, its worth it. Of course there are tons of cars to see, but the amount of famous cars from tv makes every building interesting. Plus there are lots of other odd things, like working Zoltar machine, boats, motorbikes, motorhomes, and other misc stuff from the past. The food was expensive, and not even hot, but you kinda know you're gonna get ripped on food at places like this. And they were still adding more displays. I would recommend checking it out.
Michael Studnicka
Not just cars people. This place has vintage coin op machines, military items, boats & scooters , juke boxes, covered wagons & old RV's. Literally something for everyone. I spent 3 hours just at the antique mall ! After seeing some of these dream cars I was super motivated to make more $. Can't wait to check out the upcoming new exhibits.
Richard Guerra
Fantastic place to visit. A must for people visiting the Chicago area on a long-term vacation or for those that live within a 3-hour drive. This museum has excellent exhibits that are clean and well maintained. there are so many antiques that take you back to the old days. The museum Prides itself on its cleanliness. I spent about 3 hours here and that wasn't enough time to see all the buildings and exhibits. I definitely plan on returning soon as the cars on display rotate. This place is excellent for purchasing a restored or mint classic car. Prices seem very reasonable.
Alexei Merkoulov
Great place! This is my fourth time visiting. The place keeps getting large and more elaborate. This time I especially enjoyed seeing more tractors, RVs, boats and movie cars. Will be back for more photos.
David Miracle
Amazing place and affordable. The young and old will love this place. Not only can you see antiques but you can play (games/rides) or even buy some beautiful antique cars. A few food items to be had if needed but there are shows to entertain you while eating. We all loved this place and will be back later in the future. Thank you.
David Daigneault
Did you ever want to buy a dream car ?? No duh !! Lol !! Mostly restored cars ready to roll !! ALL cars are maintained and are ready with no worries !! Peace of mind is a wonderful thing , there at Volo you will find it !! There is one little problem though.... I want a lot more than ONE CAR THERE !! YIKES !! Decisions, Decisions Decisions !! Ugh !!
Rolf Snobeck
Fun place for the family. They have classic cars and some trucks set up in several heated buildings, with exhibits to entertain your kids and keep them interested. Multiple buildings with antiques as well. good place to spend a couple hours. If you see the classic you like, everything is for sale.
Anna Gottfreid
Great place for a date or family fun morning/afternoon! You will definitely see some movie magic here. There’s a bus tour to show you all the cars around if you do not want to walk! They also have military and medical torture exhibits. You do have to pay extra for the bus and special exhibits. It was a total surprise as well that they had old Disney Store window displays! They have several warehouses full of old cars that you can purchase and a diner as you walk in for lunch or snacks. We enjoyed walking the different buildings all afternoon.
Judy Liesch
This place was great, what a treasure. Went there as something to do not knowing really anything about the place, and now can't wait to visit again. They have old cars, motorcycles, famous vehicles from TV and movies. Old time pinball machines and such you can play. Old planes, old jukeboxes, and so much more. Basically something for everyone. They have a tram tour that is worth taking. You get the story about the place plus the layout of the place. Plan a few hours if you want to see everything. You can also buy many of the vehicles if that's what you're into. They also have about three buildings of antique booths to shop at. The antique buildings are free to visit but there is a small fee to get into the museum part.
Douglas Hamilton
This place is absolutely amazing! So many cars and more to see. The gift shop has something for everyone. If your hungry they even have a spot to grab a slice of pizza and more. Don't forget your camera! Plenty of photo ops throughout! Plenty of parking and handicap accessible if needed.
Jasper Heinrichs
It was interesting seeing all the cars and the history behind them! It's definitely a fun afternoon, and a great place if you have kids! My Grandpa and I went together and we thoroughly enjoyed it! My only complaint is that some of the staff was a little rude when we asked if they had a specific car, but overall it was fun!
Aubrey Coats
We went for mothers day. Moms were free entry so that was nice! Collection is amazing, fun, and vast. They have so much to look at, and hear about. Have to go back to see the rest. Even if you arent a huge muscle car fan, there is still alot of cool things to see. Lots of great picture opportunities as well. Smoothies tasted great.
Ray FIZZLE
Great non-traditional museum. Consists of several "barn" style museums. They have restored child rides that run off tokens, food, plenty of restrooms, a "train" ride, outdoor playground for the kids, and a TON of photo ops! This place is of course, 99.9% cars. You can buy and sell cars. They do have RV's, boats, military vehicles and Luxury, sports, classic, offroad, celebrity, and movie cars. It's quite the place to see and inexpensive. A definite must visit.
lori jakubik
Cute but over priced. Food is very expensive and just okay. Loved the ice cream which was more reasonably priced. Also seriously adored the antique animatronic displays in restautant.
nicole loki
This place is awesome! The whole family enjoyed it. Great collection! Well worth the admission price. We paid extra for the crime and punishment area which was small but pretty cool, worth the tokens. Bring cash for the antique rides for the kiddies!
Judy Boomsma
The displays were wonderful. So many new and interesting displays that I have not seen in other museums.
NoProblym Gaming
Cars! Cars! And more Cars! This place is amazing! If you are into shiny machines on wheels then come here. They have a wide verity of nostalgic vehicles and memorabilia. Ample parking and various activities for kids to do. You can also buy one of these beauties if you would like to. Come here and have a great time!
Mark D.
Huge place with a ton of cars to see. I've driven past this museum for years thinking it was going to be a tiny little joke by the side of the road.
I was completely wrong!
Tons of cars for show and for sale. Very well restored.
Movie cars and cars driving by many famous people.
Certainly worth the stop, especially if you are interested in automobiles.
Kyle Eichorst
I’ve been to several museums across the country, from NYC to California, and this by far was one of the best I’ve ever been. Truly has something for everybody. The artifacts are presented in an appealing and professional manner that is very inviting. I’ve really never seen a museum like this. The integrity of the collection is likely matches by little to no other collections. I would gladly make the 65 mile trip again to come back.
Mike Norris (Betapixels)
Great place to come for auto buffs just looking or looking to buy/sell. Great collection of movie cars and some props and a bunch of various artificats from different wars in the special war museum section. Retro camper museum and multiple buildings in their antique mall. Easily a full days adventure.
Billy Bostic
Great place to spend time with family and friends exploring cars of the past, also visit the three buildings of antiques and collectibles, we try visit once a year.
Jennifer Fravel
Any & all famous cars you could ever imagine. The convertible from animal house, 3 bat mobiles from Batman, and the Dark Knight, Kit from Knight Rider, The Scooby-Doo Van, The Dukes of Hazard, the list goes on. I went with my parents who are boomers and they loved it, nice place to go and spend several hours
Laura Capps
Well worth the stop, check for discount tickets on Groupon, bring the family and enjoy the day. Hundreds of cars or so it seems. Kids will love the play areas, train your, and ride on pay to ride antiques. And leave your husband's check book at home or he is likely to walk away with a new ride. Cars of all ages and types. Lovely military, camper, and bike displays as well as vehicles from your favorite movies of old. Well kept. Beautiful, and so much to see and do for the car enthusiasts. And take a look at the antique malls while your there.
Roger Havlick
Great place full of numerous different types of vehicles. We went on a day that was very crowded due to a Disney parade. Inspite of the large crowd it was an enjoyable day. I look forward to returning. However my only complaint is if you are handicapped and require a wheelchair or mobility scooter, there are no automatic doors, and the doorways are narrow and very difficult to access. There is no way a person with a mobility disability can access this place by themselves!
Bryan Hendrix
This place is absolutely amazing! Plan a full day here so you can get the whole experience. Any kind of classic car you can imagine along with a amazing collection of famous vehicles that were in movies. Their are also famous movie props, classic RV's, old restored wagons, a full on military section with amazing relics, uniforms, weapons, and vehicles stretching from WW1 to the Iraqi war. Large antique shopping areas as well, I mean the list goes on. Highly highly recommended!
L T
My kids really enjoyed their visit to the museum. They have not only cars, but also bikes, boats, arcades, jukeboxes, and many more. It's like stepping back to the past.
Tuir Oakwood
One of my all time favorite places to visit when I'm in town. Absolutely top notch collection no matter what you're into...cars, trucks, bikes, military, antiques, RVs, Americana, etc. The new vintage RV collection is incredible.
A
We loved it here. We went on a day where we bought discounted tickets because honestly, normal pricing was too expensive for us, but we understand they need to make money too! We brought the kids here and had a blast looking at everything. Even saw lightning McQueen for the little one! They had these cool Disney scenes from select movies. I included a picture of 101 Dalmatians...that was really cool.
Buster Mcdaniel
If you are anywhere near Volo, IL. which is northwest of Chicago, ILLINOIS, you need to visit the Volo Auto Museum. To see it all will take the better part of the day, so plan accordingly. It is more then just cars. There are covered wagons, scooters, snowmobiles, jets, farm equipment, construction equipment and awesome 50's diner that serves food. A must-see is the Duesenberg collection! Also on the property is a antique mall with about 400 vendor spaces. If you're looking for that unique item you can probably find it there. If you're looking for a hot rod or collector car this is the place to go because 95% of the cars there are for sale. The one is not for sale or their personal collection of cars and movie Cars. Lots of parking so you can drive anything there and in a beautiful wooded location. Don't forget to view their jukebox collection also on the tour. It is a lot of walking so bring some really comfortable shoes.
JP Bluma
Great place to spend a day if you like cars, or just want a trip into the past! Nice people, great cars! Googled volo auto museum and found coupon.
Sherry Noffsinger
Very nice. Great for all ages.
Brian Olsen
If you love cars it's a must see attraction. There's cars and other types of vehicles from all time periods, movie cars, classic juke boxes and so much vintage stuff to see.
Marcie Hoenes
Fun museum in a tiny Town. A large museum with many displays outside and in several buildings There are many antique cars on display as well as vehicles from movies and television. Batmobile, ghost busters, back to the Future, green hornet and James bond to name a few. Small diner inside.
Greg Rasmussen
Wow, really great place. Would definitely recommend the combo tickets to see all the attractions.
Ragen Bostrom
Oh just set me up a bed in the middle of this place! I want to live here! Largest, most fun and outstanding car museum I've ever seen! It's OVERFLOWING with cars, trucks, vintage campers, movie icons, and antiques!! Building, after building, after building.... I'm trying to figure out ways to return to Chicago, just so I can visit VOLO again! They sell these beauties too! If you're a car lover, run, don't walk... RUN to VOLO!
Gladys Tolentino
It’s such a big museum and a it’s interactive for the kids there are so many exhibits for all ages our kids and I loved it we didn’t have a chance to go to the outside exhibits so we’re hoping to go in the summer also they’re are a few big antique shops connected to the museum
Carl romero
They have remodeled the entrance and concessions area. It looks great! Never disappointed when I visit. Great place to bring the family.
Ciara Parra
Best auto museum I’ve visited! Been to ones in San Diego, Reno and Kingman, but Volo tops that list by far! Wonderful antique shops, amazing history and collectibles!! Can’t wait to visit again. Affordable prices, food and gorgeous location. Free parking, playground for kiddos and over 5 exhibit halls.
Drew Mitchell
Great experience for car enthusiasts and families alike. A variety of historic, famous, and infamous vehicles - from the batmobile to Brittany Spears crashed Mercedes to Donald Trumps gold plated limo. Other experiences include seeing an old travelling railroad car, covered wagons, the history of snowmobiles, and the war museum with tank in its original condition. There is a playground for kids. Bring quarters for the rides for kids - they have operable quarter rides from the 60s 70s and 80s that you may remember from the grocery stores of your childhood! There is an antique / flea market in 5 buildings as well. Great time all around!
Pete Diaz
Took my 11 year old grandson here. Awesome, amazing, can't wait to come back in summer! Nothing else like it! Bring the family!
Catherine India
Wonderful day with the grands. Awesome cars, beautiful antique RVs. A great day! And the dinosaurs very cool
Matt McGee
Well worth the price of admission! Definately will go back again. They have a bunch of old kiddie rides that would sit in front of stores, still operational, so be sure and bring some quarters. Movie cars, celebrity cars, old RV's, pedal cars, and even a military area. Didn't go on the bus or train, or see the crime and punishment area, but they are only $2 add ons, and def plan to do them on my next trip. It is a lot of walking, but there are benches throughout, play area for the kids, and a little eatery selling hot dogs, pizza slices, churros, and drinks.
James Reynolds
Great Museum, lots of things to see. Displays of Military artifacts, antique kids rides, muscle cars, movie cars, boats, snowmobiles. Amazingly most of the cars are for sale.
Osvaldo Rios
Great place for the whole family.
Kids had a blast looking at all the cars
Sassy Cat3000
There is so much to look at. The cars are amazing. I enjoyed walking through the museum. It was very well air conditioned because I went during the summer. The restaurant was cool. The food, was well food. The hot dogs were tasty. A little expensive but it's a tourist place do that's to be expected.
ken barkdoll
Gr8 auto museum. They have the exhibit vehicles and cars that are for sale. Plenty to look at.
Cheryl Lesmeister
Love the new additions & the antique stores are always fun to browse through!
Kelly Beaudry
A little hidden jem off the beaten path
Patryk Slomczynski
This is a hidden gem. So glad we randomly decided to have an adventure. $20 for adults well worth it. We easily spent 5 or 6 hours there... and that was before the antique shop. Great fun for the whole family. Plenty to do!
Casi Besich
Awesome display of vehicles from many of the movies/TV of my childhood!! So neat to see.
Paul Smith
Great collection of classic cars. And with the addition of the Jurassic Gardens and the antique mall, there's something for everyone.
Mike Stegenga
Was a neat place to check out. Can easily spend hours appreciating the cars and other stuff. Not sure on how often things change, but I got my fulfillment. 15 bucks wasnt a bad price to get in.
DeJuan Ross
Will be visiting soon every antique car was breathtaking and the movie cars was dope as hell. Really enjoyed every room. The dinosaur garden was extremely well put together and great. Thanks Volo museum
Ricky Chiero
Nice place to visit. Plenty of cars and attractions to view . Take the family here for a relaxing enjoyable day,there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Leonard Lisitza
Jurassic gardens and dino exhibit pretty cool new addition to the rest of the complex. Lots to see here besides the dinosaur 🦕. Give yourself some time to really explore the facilities. …
kysaundra P.
An amazing collection in a nice community. The 33 exhibits offer something for the whole family. The classic cars, Hollywood vehicles, and kids exhibits are a ton of fun. The sprawling acres offer picnic areas if you want to bring a pack lunch. If you are a Batman fan this museum is a must. Their Batmobile collection is phenomenal.
Benjamin Amatore
A very nice collection of vehicles and related memorabilia. Some vehicles are screen used and have info boards stating of they are or not, as well as some information on that particular vehicle if given.
Fred Freed
Unbelievable place to visit. If you're into vintage cars and other things it's like a candy store for adult.
Gregg Johnson
Lots of cool muscle cars from the 60's & 70's. Also had some cool TV used cars like the Batmobile.
Marc Mota
Love that you see cars throughout the ages. Also the antique shopping is fun. The cars that you will see are for sale and all I have to say is I wish I had more money. You will enjoy the relaxation in the exhibits as well as the incredible knowledge the workers have.
Belinda Alvarado
Came in on a Friday. Plan accordingly there is so many options to read where all the cars come from and learn. There are also antique cars for sale. Several cars from movies like fast and the furious, the Terminator, Elenore from "Gone in sixty seconds", Star Wars just to name a few. Also, there was a tribute to Paul walker. In the Hollywood section you will see a small screen with a movie screen playing a clip from the movie the car is from. The only downside is some sections really smelled like gasoline and the floor could use some remodeling. Can't wait to go back to see the other exhibits! Definitely take a camera to capture the authentic cars.
Andy Rissman
Very cool place to take your family for a nice time!!!
ELVIS VEGAS
Been wanting to go here for several years and I finally made it, this place is humongous and well planned out for your tour, so many awesome things to see plus they have an indoor type restaurant, Highly Recommended 😎👍
Aaron Larson
This place is amazing! Way more to it than just cars. So much to see here. Give yourself plenty of time to look around. So many amazing cars and other unique displays. Very cool historic cars and other various vehicles. I would recommend going here to everyone.
robert mckenzie
Total disappointment for a car guy. Absolutely no disabled assistance devices and very handicap unfriendly environment.
Very disorganized..stuff all over stuff.
Worst is the antique shop. Where's all the actual cool cars in the online photos? No batman..no back to future, only a fake looking movie scene car. They show the movie seen in the background and the car at volo, it doesn't have nearly the amount of bullets as in the actual movie car. Not legitimate at all.
The food was drive through quality at best. Few choices.
And the entry fee is ridiculously expensive for what you get.
Brandelyn Hatcher
The Volvo was amazing and the deal for 2 days at the price of one was great when I got the combo pack! My 3 children had a blast and to my surprise my double wide stroller made it just about everywhere without having to remove the children!
Mary Happy
I Had a great time I took my niece and nephew on 7/16/ 2018 and they like the theme cars . I call before going a spoke with a gentlemen he answered a some questions and when I got there he came out and talk with us .l forgot the gentleman name. I will go back again.
Alex Gerasimov
Must visit place! Antic, classic, muscle, modern and car from movies. Good place to visit with friends and family. Kids friendly.
Michael Azzaline
Really cool place. Lots of famous cars on display and you can even buy one if you wish. Will hold interest for wives, kids and gear heads!
Ashley Jean
Highly recommend this place for an all day adventure. Bring the kids and the grandparents because there is things to do for all ages. We had a blast and will be coming back for their upcoming exhibits and the revamps they are doing to the exhibits they already have. 😀
Arkady Khazin
A must visit if you like cars or anything with wheels, for that matter. They have classic cars, muscle cars, celebrity cars, movie cars, as well as tractors, military vehicles, campers, and so much more!
Max Rosner
Best place to go if you have any interest in classic cars, campers, military collectibles. You can easily spend all day here and still not see everything.
Jeffrey Wincell
This is part auto museum part House on the Rock. They have an outstanding collection of artifacts. The pictures of Riverview they have when you buy tickets bring back memories. The robotic dinosaurs are fantastic.
George Klingelhofer
Really so much to see. The only downside is the high cost of admission plus additional charge for some of the attractions.
Glenn Sokol
Having fun looking at all the cars and other items.
Andrea
It was fun. Great place for car enthusiasts. I brought someone from out of state and they want to visit again the next time they're in town.
Juan Carlos Zamora
If you want to check out one of the best classic cars near Chicago this is the spot not only you can see them if you like one you can also purchase it on the spot great classic from the early 20's to 80's with a few famous cars too...
Bill Cooper
What a wonderful Place to spend the day there are many exhibits to see and each one is better than the last one.
The only drawback that I had was the gouging at the souvenir shop I spent $13 for a 1 oz shotglass. $4 for a 12oz coke.
$4 for 1 scoop of ice cream.
That kind of soured my day.
Sherice Smith
Cool place to see (and buy) classic cars, as well as cars from some popular movies. I'm a HUGE fan of "The Blues Brothers" movie, so it was pretty amazing to see that automobile. Worth visiting!
R Moreland
A must see at least once on the car museum with numerous buildings and exhibits.
Veterans discount is a nice bonus.
Parking was free and I had no issue parking my RV.
Food was OK.
Antique store was not for me but some will love it.
Florian Tetart
Worth it ! Amazing cars ! It’s pretty big .
Pat K
We had an amazing time today ! I was amazed at the items they had. Seriously one of my top fav museums. Well done !
Shelley Flanagan
Have not been able to visit yet so I gave 3 stars (originally), but got to thinking about the affect that rating may have in itself and feel that I may not have been quite fair in the rating ...as I just rushed through the thing when it popped up on my phone as I was busy...right after just stopping by to ask questions!!!
When i get to take my granddaughter Iris Faith, I KNOW SHE WILL LOVE IT!!!
The young pretty lady at the desk was sweet and professional and great with my granddaughter!!
She alone deserves 5 stars too then!!!
A business is truly only as successful as kindness and caring is from the employees to the customers as well;
not to mention,
just the road view of the attractions is awesome to look at in itself!!!
I light up like a big kid myself every time I drive by the museum!!! Honest!!!
My apologies! Please 🙏 forgive me!!!
DougieD Now
A great place to go for a few hours and family friendly. So much to see and do. You can make an entire day out of your visit. Highly recommended. They also have a restaurant and outdoor eating areas.
D W
Only went to Jurassic Gardens, and it's definitely worth a visit if you have small children. Be prepared to wait in line for tickets, and they are relatively expensive. To keep costs down, we brought a packed lunch, and it was nice to eat at the picnic tables. There's a sizable dino-themed playground for kids that is awesome. Let your kids get tired playing there before going into Jurassic Gardens. The gardens are a winding path of animatronic dinos and some interactive exhibits. Have your camera ready to take pics of your kids being eaten by dinos or hatching from eggs. SKIP the arcade (all craw grab games that are unwinnable) and mining sand from the gift shop unless you like to lose money. Both are a total ripoff. Otherwise, it's a couple hours of fun in spite of the price.
Joy sundstrom
Undescribely amazing. Be sure to see it all.
Dirk Schumann
They have a little something for everyone. This past Father's Day, my children took me to the museum and we had a great time. My kids loved the cartoon and hollywood cars, my wife loved the vintage campers and I loved being there with them. Thanks Volo Auto Museum!
Jason Lo Presto
Great place. Lots of great cars and stuff from the movies
Perfect place to take the kids!
Cameron Shook
If you want to see some great muscle cars, some unusual vehicles, and try to resist the temptation to buy the car of your dreams this is the place for you. Many of the vehicles displayed are actually for sale.
G Miller
Cool place all around ,have a exhibit that everyone would enjoy from car classics to modern ,also old boats ,trains ,military exhibit and more .Check out their website and head on over to check out a cool experience.Also has military discount which was great 👍
Gary Goodrich
I would give Volo 8 stars if it went that high! Most of the cars here are actually for sale! Besides classic cars, there are also classic snowmobiles, scooters, boats, campers, stagecoaches, TV & movie cars, pedal cars, pinball machines etc etc etc. A must see!
Tim Nelson
Lots of variety of antiques, cars and much more! Even have a gift shop! Amnitronics puppet show is free and a funny touch.
Oddzilla James
Huge property.....I have read about this place for 10 to 20 years. I just happened to be driving by and there it was...I thought I'd pull in and take a quick 15-18 min walk through and be back on my way...no such luck..this place is huge and consist of 6 to 9 various sprawling barnsstyle buildings. The auto museum is spread between 3-4 buildings with antique shops and a restaurant and other curiosities mixed in. There are so many signs and arrows that it took me 5+ mins to find the building with admission tickets (in back) I make it into the admission building and that in itself was confusingly laid out. I could not find the ticket window. By now I had spent 10-12 mins of my 20 mins allotment just walking around reading signs😢 I could tell that it would take 2 - 3 hours minimum to scratch the surface...I gave up and said "maybe some other day".⏳⌛⏰⌚💸📆✈
James T
Exceptional!!! Absolutely an amazing experience top to bottom; make sure you block out enough time for this one (at least 4 hours)!!!
Barret Kruse
I was not sure what to expect, but I was blown away! My whole family had an amazing time! The collection of cars was the best and most comprehensive I have seen, but there was more than cars! Jukeboxes, restored arcade games, scooters, bikes, and two beautifully restored Showbiz Pizza Place animatronic sets - so much fun! Will be back
Derek Schultz
Volo Auto Museum is a super unique place that is great to check out on your own, with some friends, or most of all, the whole family. You'll get to see some beautiful classic and antique cars, historic cars, cars from movies and TV, as well as things like antique motorcycles, peddle cars, scooters, outboard motors, bicycles, jukeboxes, and more. You can also buy classic cars here! They also have a great area for kids with a ton of vintage quarter rides still fully functional. Also on site there is a huge antique mall. I'm probably missing a ton of stuff, just plan on spending the whole day there and don't worry about food, they have a food court.
La Tanya Ame `Vel Smith
I love this place, I can't wait to be able to afford one of their cars...!!! I'll definitely be back to purchase one of their beautiful vehicles..!!
radu diaconu
Went for the first time thanksgiving weekend,it was Kool I liked it maid me smile... If your a car guy/girl definitely worth checking out.....
cowcat33
Although I was greatly disappointed with the Ecto not being there... I really enjoyed the museum lots of beautiful cars to see... from cars of the stars... to cars that are stars... cars for sale... cars new and old... dont get me wrong theres campers boats bikes snowmobiles and the list goes on...
Old Blazer
Don't be fooled by the name. It's much more than an auto museum. The Duesenbergs there are amazing ! They do have a large collection of collector cars for sale. The military exhibits are good too. They also have play areas for kids to keep them from being bored. I spent at least six hours there with a break for lunch but I read nearly every plaque. A must see! They also have several antique malls of which I only had time to visit one.
Debbie Fakhoury
I really didn't want to go but had to go along for the ride but I loved it!! It's much more than cars and boats even the kids(all ages) will like it
Tippy Necole
This is a cool place to visit! They have just about any car you can think of: Vintage, Modern, Sports, cars from famous movies, RV's, Trains, Tractors and Military vehicles. They give you the history behind the cars, which is interesting. I loved every bit of my visit but my favorite was seeing Christine. It's totally worth a day trip, you won't be disappointed. My boyfriend and I went for his birthday and we both enjoyed our visit. We got to see some cool cars, learned some interesting facts and had some laughs. I would definitely go again.
M. Mills
Great fun for the whole family, a lot of things to look at. Not everything is cars. A place you can be all day, so much to see that you don't want to rush through it.
Their is a tour vehicle that you can ride so you can get a look at the spot to hit.
Sean Helms
Volo was a really nice place lots of cars lots of cool stuff to do remind me of a dream was definitely a place you need to go see $20 to get in
John Hegi (HegiDad)
Wow. Yes totally the best collection of cars I have ever seen. Modern, clean, neat. Friendly staff. Me 1st timer. I will be back. What's not too like!!!!
mr chikago
If you are car enthusiast you have to check out this place. This place has everything .awesome place to bring family ,friends to. Highly recommend it .
Michael Haas
Been here several times take a long time to get through all the superb cars trucks campers boats tractors and more
Pack a lunch picnic tables note to myself
Margot Flynn
Great place if you like cars or not. For kids,movie buffs, historians. Lots to see. Has an antique mall also.
Amanda Barker
What a cool place! We really enjoyed everything there was to see. From the music, to the awesome cars, and dinosaurs. Drove 3 hours to check this place out. The 2 museums were very well maintained and very clean. Lots to go into to explore and see. Very kid friendly with familiar attractions to bring the whole family joy.
Diane Pride
Great place to spend the day. I went with my son and two grandsons ages 7 and 12. They had the best time and want to know when they can go back. The museum I will give 5 stars to but the pizza area is way too pricey. Come on nearly $5.00 for a slice of pizza. Beyond that it was a wonderful day with lots of things to see.
Stephen Etheridge
Many unusual movie cars. New Dinosaur Park indoors. Huge Antique mall on other side of parking lot.
Greg
Family fun - just went last weekend after years away - the operation is much larger now, and the Jurassic Park exhibit is really cool! Prices are a bit steep, though.
Allow at least half a day to go through the museums. You could easily spend the entire day here.
Mel Moreno
This museum is amazing! they have a great selection of classic cars and other very interesting mode of two wheel vehicles, as well as many cool vintage artifacts. They even have a section of military display which is educational and you can learn cool facts about different times of history. Next to the museum there is a huge antique shop. I would definitely go back! I recommend anyone to check it out, you won’t be disappointed. Also if you have kids I noticed they have an outside park area for summer and some type of indoor dinosaur exhibit- we didn’t go in but it looked like fun. This is a cool idea even for a date day, or just to spend a fun weekend.
AJ Lembach
The jurassic museum was pretty cool, my kids loved it. They really liked how close the dinosaurs were. It isn't huge but not necessarily small either. My recommendation is if you go take your time and get your moneys worth. I thought the general admission price was fair.
Rich Ross
I love this place. If you like cars or are looking to buy Volo is the place!
Roger Terry
VOLO AUTO MUSEUM IS A MUST SEE FOR ALL "CAR LOVERS" ANTIQUE COLLECTORS AND HISTORY BUFFS. MAKE IT A FULL DAY TRIP (4-5 hours) TO DO JUSTICE TO THEIR UNIQUE COLLECTION OF: CLASSIC CARS (e.g. Dussenburgs), HOLLYWOOD CARS, ANTIQUE AUTOS, 60' AND 70'S MUSCLE CARS. ALSO, ALLOW TIME TO VIEW THEIR ANTIQUES MALL (massive).
There are plenty of things for the kids, outdoors, and would recommend bring a picnic lunch, since food options are VERY LIMITED. Visited with teenagers and they were "engaged" throughout day.
Oh, and there are collections of: cycles, bizarre cars, snowmobiles, tractors, vintage kiddie rides, cartoon funny cars, stage coaches.
Great side trip for those visiting Chicago, since about one hour drive into country. Nice break from "hussle/bussle" of city.
Chris Powell
I always love delivering vehicle's to the museum, great customer to do business with, extremely professional and understanding of the Transportation business
Gacha Studio_Jackson
A lot of walking, but well worth it ... So many spectacular cars.
Josh & Jackie Murray
Grew up near this museum my whole life. Always loved the Auto museum and the Military section when it came out. We wanted to check out the Dinosaur part and it is $17 per person to get in !!!
WTH this part took around 10-15 minutes and it was over
This should be no more than $10 to get in here.
Then $11 and change for 1 slice of pizza and a drink
Unbelievable prices .

Probably one of the best automobile collections I've ever experienced.
Jeff Kuta
Volo Museum is awesome, so much to see!! Definitely coming back!!
Jeff Barteldt
Amazing cars, some I wish I could drive home
Как все устроено?
Thank you for a unique place where so many treasures are collected!
Sarah Vardell
The museum was great. We went on a princess/heroes weekend so lots of characters in costumes. It was advertised as "authentic" costumes... but it definitely left something to be desired. There was an overweight Mackey mouse and Batgirl. But thankfully my kids didn't seem to mind. The cars were really cool. Lots of cars from many different movies. The military exhibit was really well done. Little confusing to go through but lots and lots of interesting and historic memorabilia. The hubby and I want to go back sometime without the kids to spend more time looking at everything. The staff were all very nice and it was a clean facility. We will be back!
Sandy Pacheco
Great Place to take kids! Cool antique cars and even a Disney and Hollywood showroom!
The antique mall was neat as well the only thing I would suggest is that the people working there be a bit more inviting. I saw a couple of the vendors and they didn't interact with customers.
Paul Kandel
This place is amazing. There's soooooo much here. I probably took over 200 photos. The cool thing is they have a plan for you if you only have an hr or 2. (Preferably plan a day) There are 5 buildings, plus a military exhibit, some boats, an old stage coach exhibit, and 3 antique malls. There's so many cars. Movie cars, famous people cars, Pre-War, muscle cars, etc.
Tim Stevens
A crazy amount of cars. Take dad there for a great day, even in winter. A walk down memory lane for sure.
Pat Yupours
Wonderful place to come for auto buffs and car collectors, just looking or looking to buy/sell. Great collection of movie cars and props and a bunch of various artifacts from different wars in the special war museum section. The place has multiple buildings filled with everything that you would not is a traditional museum. There is even antique mall. Looking forward to how they expand their railroad display section. Easily a full days adventure for anyone to enjoy.
Edyta Sidorska (HappyOne Spirit)
Wonderful place with lots of amazing cars and other staff. Great fun for kids and adults.
Heather Day
I always came here with my grandparents when I was little, since they lived for half of the year down the road at Fish Lake campgrounds. I finally took my husband, and my goodness this place has gotten huge! It's a nice way to spend a day, even if it's raining. Just walking around and checking everything out. Great place!
Christopher McEwan
Fantastic cars and a playground. Plenty of exhibits and games for kids, informative and eye candy spectacles for adults. The was food was subpar though, typical gas station food if i had to put a phrase to it. Highly recommend to all families though.
Edit:
Thanks Volo for finding my error, definitely did not notice that lol
Jessica Saint
“This is the best museum so far!”… is what my son told me when we finally finished touring the entire place. He absolutely loved the entire experience. He brought with $1 and $5 bills for the attractions and didn’t want to leave. There are so many different themes and eras of vehicles that even I enjoyed quite a few of them from my younger days. This was so much more fun than we thought it would be.
Michaela S
This place is an AMAZING hidden gem! This was my first time here, and i loved it so much! there are 5 showrooms filled with classic cars, cars from movies, and artist renditions, to name a few. There are tons of historical pieces, as well as a place to eat, and an antique mall with "7 miles of aisles"! Its so much fum for the whole family, whether you're a car nut or a history buff or just want to shop for some cool vintage things. Volo is amazing!
Rachel Krueger
Really cool museum. I don't think there should have been an extra cost though for the mob/torture section. Maybe just let families know the area is NOT for kids. But don't charge extra.
Kim Vickery
The details and history are details are incredible. The military display is such an incredible part of history. Something for everyone.
Donna Podrasky
Saw some great items from my youth and lots of unique vehicles, many of which are one of a kind. In regard to accessibility...While the grounds are paved there are many steep inclines that can make things challenging even in a wheelchair or scooter.
Tony Valentin
The tickets are a little on the pricey side, but if you are into cars and many other related things than you will enjoy it. But now it has the added bonus of of the dinosaur park for the kids. We took my son and daughter for his bday and they had a blast. Totally recommend it.
Kim S
This place should be on everyone's bucket list. It has something for everyone and every age.
Della Sims
We had a great time myself, daughter and two grandsons. The two year old adores dinosaurs he bought his own with him. We had pizza that was surprisingly good. We look forward to going again
Ann Jaco
What a whimsical wonderful place. One for all ages. We are from Colorado and we have a lot of scenery and such. Loved this place
Dusan Stojkovic
Great place for the family! We had fun seeing all of the amazing cars!
Tom Grotto
Well worth the $20 admission fee. Lots of cars, trailers, boats, trains and even a few plans.
Don Brynelsen
Something for everyone. Classic and American Muscle cars, cars from TV and movies, military vehicles, Antique mechanical instruments, a carousel, stagecoach, antique snowmobiles, animotronic figured and dinosaurs., etc.
Rob Kurylowicz
We went during the anniversary special and it was really nice to the remodeling that they did since the last time we went. Lots of cars and displays. Fun for the whole family and something to see for everyone.
Julissa Barreto Torres
Awesome
Interesting
Beautiful cars
Amazing movie cars
I really enjoy my day with my family today 💯
Carol Parsons
Awesome for any car buff or movie goers who love the cars in movies. Also great campers and military history, jukebox and player pianos. Something for everyone to enjoy.
Ron Rick
If you are a car enthusiast, you have to go here. It's a great way to spend a few hours. They have an original bat mobile from the 1960's tv series, the General Lee from Dukes of Hazard, the DeLorean from Back to the future, a Mach 5 from the speed racer cartoon. Got to relive my childhood for an afternoon.
Matthew Turner
OMG so so so much stuff to look at and buy it was a great time we where there for 3 hours found some great things
Insite Auto
Amazing museum, probably one of the best! The collection of cars is great with something for everyone.
There were a lot of classics mixed in with famous Hollywood cars and modern muscle. My favorites were K.I.T.T., the Delorean, the Speed Racer car, and the Grease Lightning.
I was shocked to see a Lamborghini Countach and Diablo! I did not expect to see those cars. There was a gorgeous yellow Viper as well and... don't want to spoil the surprise. I highly suggest to check this place out if you are a car enthusiast.
SILLKG
Loved all the cars there!
Jason Mangini
Best museum I ever been to used to go with my mom when I was younger been so long I forgot how awesome it is I love cars and this place is heaven
Phillip Mariani
My daughter loves the toy part of it as do I although can get carried away very quickly
Rodney Espinosa
Great place to go see old Classic muscle cars, and cars that started it all,what we think is new it's not, cars were way more custom back then....
Rebekah Elgin (Becky)
Lots of signs & well marked pathways to guide you through the buildings.
They buy & sell some of the cars, which means there'll be different ones there from one time to the next.
Alot more than cars to check out.
Definitely an interesting place.
Chuck Baily
What an amazing spread! There is so much to see and do. I will be going back for sure!!
Maricela Rodriguez
Awesome Museum for the whole Family..😃I highly recommend it..😃⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ …
Red Leader
It's a great spot, you can blow through the car section in a couple hours or spend all day there.
Nicole Marzullo
Update: great experience it's worth every dollar, the place is huge! If you are into cars definitely check this out!
Jamie Maclannan
I have never been to somewhere quite like the Volo car museum, it was a lot of fun, the exhibits are stunning and extremely interesting all while having every charm of a family business and a wholesome road side attraction. Please do yourself a favour and give this place a visit!
Rachel Radziejeski
Awesome display of cars. Great place to spend a whole day buying antiques and looking at Hollywood cars.
Dante
Short: I recommend visiting for adults without any hesitation. If you have kids you should be aware of some of the shortcomings of this place and plan accordingly.
Long: This place has a ton of cool stuff to see. If it's just one or more adults visiting, then head on over, get lost in the parking lot, ask where to go, get pointed on the right direction, and enjoy everything from there on. There is so much to see that if you're in the area you shouldn't miss this. It may even take more than one visit to enjoy it all.
However, if you have kids you need to be aware of a few things depending on their age. This place is a confusing mess of buildings, indoor and outdoor paths that at times are not obvious, stretches with no discernable restrooms or places to sit and rest, and exhibits that can or can not be touched. If, as a random example, thirty minutes into the visit your toddler loses his mind and you need to quickly exit to your car, you simply cannot. You'll be three or four different, detached buildings into the experience and the only thing this place has more of than cars is fences. You literally can't escape if you choose to go "off path". It's kind of all or nothing, and when all means a multi-hour commitment the logistics of a visit with kids becomes tough. Not impossible, but tough. Plan accordingly.
Theresa Rowe
Dino display is awesome. A lot of walking. Displays are so far apart. Confusing map.
Dorothy Loudon
Nice antique mall there are 4 buildings. It also has antique cars rv's very nice that does cost. And this last time I was there they had dinosaurs on display I didn't check it out though.. I would recommend this place.
Jess Harv
If you like cars, movies, and cool old stuff, this is the place for you. Great way to spend an entire day. Wear your walking shoes. And buy a car if the mood strikes. Best car museum I have seen.
Lori Phillips
Wonderful place! Some much to see! Something for all ages!
H Sh
This is an EXCELLENT Museum. Some of the vehicles on display were everyday cars when I was growing up. There are rows of interesting and well conditioned cars. The motor and mobile homes from the past look better than the modern day versions. Also, any staff members that you meet are super friendly, and can answer questions about the exhibits flawlessly. I plan to revisit soon. The price may seem high, but it is WELL WORTH IT!
Adam Vargas
My family loved it. We got the bundle tickets online which was for the Jurassic Gardens plus the auto museum. We were expecting to like the Jurassic gardens more, but ended up liking the auto museum way more. Such a cool place to visit.
RobertDanJr
Perfect everything.! Many visits have all been wonderful! Perfect family field trip, perfect date ! Staff always friendly!
Jamie Reynolds
Awesome place with a ton of classic cars and movie cars. Most of the cars are also for sale.
Brian Stutzman
My first visit. Great place lots of eye candy!
Chuck Denny
Outstanding place to visit if you love old cars and antiques
Xaria Ingram
Edit cause I forgot to put it before: My kids had the most amazing day! The only thing my son and his friends had as a complaint was wanting more dinos! 😂 They're very friendly people the car exhibits are beautifully constructed and the dino garden is amazingly thought out in the sense of extra play areas and keeping a one way flow of movement. It was a great experience and we can't wait to come back!
J.Mitch 24/7
I love this place I go every few weeks to look at the new cars they have. The for sale section is always changing
Dwan Sudell O'Bannon
This is a wonderful car museum. My husband & I went & we both had a great time. The cars are beautifully set up & a lot of the cars can be purchased. The place was very clean & neat. Very friendly staff. There are a lot of cars that were used in movies like Batman, James Bond, The Blues Brothers & Star Wars, just to name a few along with videos showing the cars. It was fascinating. There’s a lot of walking, so be sure to wear very comfortable shoes.
Joseph Czarnecki
There new Jurassic Park exhibit was great, especially for kids and grownups.
Alma Kozlica
SUPER COOL CAR MUSEUM! there's a whole variety of cars to see, even old rvs and train, lots to go through. museum was easy to find, parking was not difficult at all. they have antique stores too if you're into that that was interesting to look at. if you have kids there is even a play area/park outside before the entrance. they do have food you can buy inside too. staff was helpful and nice, cars were wicked, different sections were all decorated with antiques which made it an even cooler experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming here with car friends or family. i'm looking to go again very soon.
Jeff Radek
Wether you're buying or just admiring their beauty, Volo auto museum is probably the best place to see classic cars on display. The sheer variety and quality of their collection is unmatched. My father has been taking me here for years and at 28, I still enjoy going with him.
mike cosola
Place is awsome, some great cars and things for all to enjoy. Well worth it.
Paul Foster
They are what you call these days reasonably priced muscle cars
Matt Hoddinott
If you come to Chicago you need to stop by the Valero Auto Mall beautiful place bring a lots of money everything is for sale guys have cars trains trucks and women have antiques Galore
Christina Lacamu
This place is better than I ever could have imagined! You could literally spend days in here and still not see everything!
Tyler Bowers
The Volo Auto Museum is a must see if you have never been there before and enjoy classic cars. With a neat old time feel of the past you easily get hooked. Housing a lot of classic movie cars your sure to recognize from the general lee, ghostbusters, time machine DeLorean, and Eleanor. Besides movie cars to view there are also a lot of nice classic and muscle cars for sale. Several neat exhibits to enjoy like a military muesum, tractors, snowmobiles, scooters, campers. On the property is also one of the biggest antique malls you will come across with tons of neat items to look through. Definitely plan a day to the Volo Auto Muesum to look at some cool cars and explore a antique mall.
J Carver
What a blast, cars, bikes. Military, snowmobiles, and other fun historical displays. Thanks George.
Zero Cool
Awesome lil place treat u like family super hidden Jems in store have to really look

A unique set of buildings that contain cars from movies ... the big draw, plus thousands of other historical items. Well worth a visit.
David Salkin
It was a great experience, fun had by all
Lori Borsom
First time actually going thru the antique store. Loved it. So much to see...& its not just cars. .it had tractors and campers and train cars.boats carriages. So much. Go. Youll enjoy
Megan
We really enjoying going to the museum a few times a year as a family and would recommend anyone interested cars/history to take a trip.
You can absolutely fit a stroller through the entire museum if you have small children. Very affordable. Large parking lot, plenty of parking.
Ellen Richardson
Always a great time.. beautiful selection of vintage and new cars for sale. Jurassic Park displays are so lifelike. We go every year and there's always something new to explore. The washrooms are spotless and the staff is very friendly and polite..
Anthony Schechtel
Personally this place seems pricy however boy there are some neat things to see and its took my group of 5 about 2 hours to get through. Worth every penny
Kei Wes
Great place for the entire Family!!!
Michael Salazar
Amazing cars and I wish I could buy some! A great spot for when it's hot or cold outside
Michelle Stephenson
Nice museum with different amenities. Fun for the whole family.
Gabriel Vargas
Been there multiple times. Always enjoy it. Family loves it.
R S Brosnan
Just a suggestion but a few more washrooms would have Been handy.
Terri Brannam
A couple weeks ago my mother and I decided to go check out the Carousel Museum, the antique cars, and of course do a little antique shopping. We have done the antique shopping many times in the past, but this the the first time in a long time we visited the other parts. We were both very impressed with all the new additions they have added on to make this a great family place. Everything looked nice, and it was very clean. My mother has some back, and leg issues and it was nice to see places where she could sit for a bit as well. It looks like they are doing even more with the property, and I can’t wait to see what is next.
Heleena
Lots of cool cars to see, multiple buildings to walk through and options for food if you get hungry at the beginning or end!
Seth Ardelean
Great memories here can't wait to bring my son!
Mark Brachmanski
Fantastic as always! Keep up the great work maintaining the collection
Stephanie Schultz
Lots of cool cars. Definitely the best part.
Peter Rodionov
Lots of cars and memorabilia! They keep adding more boats, cars, scooters, tractors and carousal pieces. This is one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in town visiting family.
Gator Smith
Go!
Joe Casella
Great facility and staff. I ended up buying a rare Falcon F7!
Jennifer
Pricey, especially the vintage kiddy rides but each showroom is impressive in its own way, definitely a place to check out!
USAFHG1983
Cool place. Some historical issues with the military exhibits, but otherwise a great effort
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CARS, CARS, CARS!
Amanda
Had a fun time with the family. The employees were nice and helpful.

Tim Hunter
Great museum featuring movie cars, star cars, and classics you can buy.
Rochelle Agosto
Super cool place to stop for families and all ages!!
Will Repole
Only Recommendation is to add covered awnings to connect buildings when can as it is a perfect rainy day experience.
Popi Sarma
Recommend for people of all ages.
Z A (Ziegh)
Planned on spending a few hours looking at the dinosaurs, took all of 15 mintues.
Brittany Hall
Probably some of the best fun my kids and I have had in a while. It was a bit of a drive from where we were staying in Chicago, but I am so glad we took the drive. It was 100% worth it. We made it pretty much through the whole thing, except the antique shops (which are always my favorite) so we will definitely be back again!
Kade campbell
Overall
fantastic
museum / flee market
Jens Pedersen
This place is a must if you're in the area. Totally worth the price of admission. Plan several hours to take it all in.
Sonyia Karam
Great place to spend the day with family and friends. The cars are incredible! The dino exhibit made me feel like a kid again. The mall had so many one of a kind pieces, you can't leave without finding something you will love.
Dave Bradley
So many cool cars from movies, TV, and just lots of classics.
CreeperFeature
There was some very cool cars! Great place for car enthusiasts!
AA A
Lots of fun and tons to see. Spend your first few hours touring the museum, then grab a slice of pizza and make your way over to the antique shop across the street for some fun browsing around. Tons of fun for a full day of adventures.
Darin Tobolski
I had so much fun here, what a blast! There's too much to take in all in one day so I will be making a return trip to see what I missed. The movie cars are awesome and I was pleased to see my favorite movie car of all time, The black Interceptor from the Mad Max movies! Plan on spending a day here and bring the kids, there's plenty of fun for the whole family!
David Walko
This place is a blast from the past. It's a huge collection of the most interesting stuff on earth. There's something for everyone here. History flourishes around every corner. My son and I enjoyed our visit and will be back for sure.
James Jennings
This is a must-see for anyone who loves automotive history, just make sure you leave at least 4 hours for yourself to see everything.
Laura Rogers
Have always loved Volvo Auto Museum but it has changed.
The girl greeting us was very friendly. They have made many improvements throughout making it easy to navigate. We went the Jurassic Dinosaur Exhibit.It was kind of a one and done. I think young kids would really like it. We skipped the War Museum Exhibit because we have seen it so many times. We really enjoyed the Old Cars, Boats and Rv’s.they are always worth the visit. We weren’t really impressed with the tractors or Carousel
Very disappointed with the Luxury Muscle Cars. Building 5 was always are favorite but now it’s not very special.
karen cassidy
Fun! I got the membership! It pays for itself in 2 visits!
Erich Baacke
Had a really fun time walking around for a few hours
Dima Mogill
Huge collection of mint condition vehicles from every era. Mini museums through out 7 buildings. Large antique shop at the end of the tour. Great way to spend a few hour!
JACOB KATARI
Great place so much to see and enjoy. I even liked the pizza.
Durante Fam
We spent all day here with our boys. So much to look at! The exhibits are set up with such detail and the kids were in awe of everything there was to see. My husband and I hope to come back sometime so we can take even more time to look at the large collection this museum has. I can’t imagine anyone spending less than 3-4 hours here. We were at the museum for nearly 5 hours with three boys under 6 and no one was ready to go home at closing time. The vintage kiddie rides were a bonus. There are showrooms with spectacular cars, with very high price tags, so be aware of that when visiting with your kids. Luckily, our kids behaved and didn't try to touch. We will definitely visit again.
Michał B
Fantastic exposition, admission $20, some parts available with additional $2 fee.
Asiya Hussain
Great car museum and auto sales. Definitely recommend for the classic car lover!
F. W.
Great Automotive Museum to visit! Fun for All Ages! Highly Recommended!
Judy Johnson
Love this place. Bought season tickets so we could go and see what’s new all the time. Very clean and fun.
Simon Eastman
The cars displayed were in very good conditions, everything was very organized and the people working there are very patient. The only thing is that there aren't nearly as many cars as there were before so it felt really short. Despite that, the museum is still a very nice place to visit and even bring your kids now that there is a dinosaur themed park for children.
Katarzyna Wedzik
One of my very favorite spots to go for a day of fun!!! There is so much to do and see that you might need whole day for it. We have been there probably 20 times and we still come and bring more people with!!! Amazing displays, always something new and interesting. Worth every penny!!!
Ryan Carlson
Although I am not really into cars i still enjoyed the visit, the mixture of muscle and exotic cars were nice and some Collector cars like the Subaru used in Furious 7 was also a plus. There were also other buildings that housed other displays.
Andrew H.
We were only on Dino Exhib. It is small but worth it. For kids awesome place to spend time.
Steven King
Very interesting museum with an incredible variety of rare and interesting collections!
Melissa Beager
The carousel building is my favorite. It is a unique building that is filled with one of a kind, beautiful, self playing orchestrions, as well as a hand carved wooden carousel. It is quite fascinating.
The vintage kid rides and the vintage arcade games in the Disney building, or building 4, was where we spent the most time and money with the kids.
The dinosaur exhibit was amazing. The kids LOVED it.
The Volo Auto Museum has really changed and expanded since I was there 10 years ago. I could probably go back a few times in the next year or two and see something new each time.
Ember Urbach
Really unique, fun museum. Lots of vehicles from movies and good photo ops. Bring cash for the kiddie rides to get tokens!
Charles Grant
The museum is very family oriented and very clean. We had a wonderful time and will finish our visit the next day.
S Andrew
Awesome time lots to see and do lots of unique things and everything is in fantastic restored shape. Definitely something for everyone and very entertaining. If you're going to do it it's probably going to be fourhours.
Barb Stevens
My daughter and I have been going to the Volo Antique Malls for years but we heard there's a carousel building now and decided to check it out. Carousels and their horses and band organs are of great interest to me so I was very curious to see what they had. You have to go thru the auto museum, an amazing experience in itself, and then you can access the carousel building. It features a wonderfully restored carousel along with band organs and other antique music machines. Some you can put a coin in and listen to them play. Absolutely wonderful. Could have spent hours just in this building. There is something here for everyone, old or young. So many things for kids to see and try including the dinosaur museum. Singing puppets that put on a show, collections of juke boxes and the ride on horses that used to be in stores, even snowmobiles from way back when, and, of course , the antique mall. Staff was friendly , everything was very clean and very well organized. A great place to spend the day with family or friends.
Laurie Kazmierczak
More than cars! Awesome museum. You won't be steered wrong! I was fascinated by the dashboards
Dawn Boysen
I have a few antique booths here and love it.
Sandra LoGalbo
The Volo auto museum is huge. We just went there for the first time. We have been planning to go for years and finally went. They have room after room of cars many of which are for sale. There is an eclectic collection of other things like farm equipment, Disney stuff, train cars, a few airplane, military displays, and vehicles of all types. Many famous vehicles from movies or celebs. Lots of walking but most displays are handicap accessible. So long as you can walk a couple miles. There is a food court and stuff for kids. Picnic tables outside so you can bring your own lunch. We would definitely recommend the auto museum for adults and kids who love cars. $20 for adult entry. They also have a kids dinosaur world for a separate fee, but we didn't do that. You could spend a whole day here. It took us about 3 hours to get through most of the auto museum exhibits
Michelle Banas
Found the listing in a hotel nearby attractions rack and thought it was going to be really silly and dumb. Turned out to be an awesome museum and a place I'd totally consider checking out if I was in the market for a restored classic car.
June Jones
Awesome experience, so many things to see. Enjoyed by littles and oldsters alike!! Spent 5 hours there and going back for our free day tomorrow!
AlwaysLovingKelsey
Had some really amazing cars and a playground outside the museum as well as inside. Just amazing.
Francesca D'Arcy
Great place to bring the kids!! We took our 2 year old to the dinosaur exhibit. He was a little scared at first with the moving huge dinosaurs, but he loved it! It is a small exhibit and doesn't take long to walk around so make sure you take your time and really look at each animatronic dinosaur while you can.
They have a gift shop and small arcade there too which is fun.
Raymond Sadzewicz
Excellent place to see some fine cars. The owners have added several attractions for kids. The huge antique mall is a great attraction. Many of the cars are for sale. I wish that they had more room for classic cars for sale.
Emily Abruzzo
It's a great place to visit. Little kids would really enjoy it.
Alanna Z
A great place if you love cars and also has a lot of history included as well. The military section was great! We did not visit the dinosaur part but we will when we come back with the grandkids.
MrWelch 551
This place was everything I imagined it to be. It very organized. The staff was friendly except at the concession stand. Ticket counter told us we could get a courtesy cup of ice and water the concession stand told us no and that we had to pay for bottled water until we told them what the ticket counter told us. A little disturbing. My favorite part of the exhibit was the Dusenbergs. Phenomenal display of what they should and could be. I believe the first video room we sat in told us that by the time we were done we would have walked 7 miles. I believe it but it was well worth it so make sure to put on comfortable walking shoes. Also bring your own food and plan a picnic or eat before you come the food selection wasn’t all that great appealing. There is something for the whole family. No matter what you are into and they also have some of the vehicles for sale minus the Dusies.
cOz R
One of the best museum in Chicago area ❤️
Robert Barclay
Some fantastic cars including many from movies and television.
Czeslawa Bojarska
Wonderful lot's of fun love the place
Roberto Rios
Fun experience for adults and children especially the dinosaurs exibit for the kids.
Swift One
So very much to see!! Give yourself extra time. There are a ton of gems in these walls.
Mrs. Moore
Highly recommend Volo museum! We thought our son would enjoy the Jurassic museum there so we purchased tickets and headed towards the entrance. As soon as we stepped outside and our son saw and heard the dinosaurs that were at the entrance to the museum, he freaked out. He was terrified! We went back in and Katlyn, she sold us the tickets, saw us and asked what was wrong. We told her and she was able to accommodate us into switching our tickets to the car museum part. I just feel bad because it appeared she was taking a break and having a bite to eat but as soon as she saw us, she rushed through what she was doing just to help us. Volo museum, I hope you see this and let Katlyn know how much she is appreciated! She’s amazing! The car museum was really nice, our son was still terrified through because there was the alien, King Kong, and some other figures that he found scary. There were a lot of cool cars and movie props. We didn’t get through everything of course, would have to spend hours to get through everything. And the price? You’re getting a lot for your money here!
Rob Micklinghoff
Such a large display. Good sections. Family friendly. Larger and more organized than years ago. Looks like everything is for sale. Nice collection of movie cars and other famous cars.
Matt Lepperd
The owners, staff and facilities are a true treasure. You need to make the trip!
Jamie Mahoney
Nice however use to be bigger now has museum.....staff seems disintrested at being there
John Blankenship
Fun for the whole family
woodfella21
We took our 10 year old grandson there yesterday. They have an incredibly immense collection of automobiles, and other mechanical devices on display. Early tractors, snowmobiles, outboard motors, bicycles, scooters, pedal cars. You name it, they had it! All very organized, in an immaculately clean setting. I was impressed times ten!
Marilyn Uhl-Tauginas
Great entertainment.
Mike Rajsl
Amazing place with an enormous amount of vehicles to check out. Very clean and well la 6I d out. Definitely a must see.
Alex
If you enjoy cars and other motorized history this is the place for you!
Everything on display was amazing!
Joseph Perkins
Unbelievable. They offer so much. The displays are featured so well. The military display, the cars, the movie vehicles and then you can sit down for pizza. What else could you ask for. Thank you Volo.
James Dement
Fun place to spend an afternoon or hang out for the day.
Thomas Poyner
The dinosaur exhibit is way overpriced. It's cool but six flags is cheaper for the family. Not worth the money. I would suggest passing this place.
Przemyslaw Wisniewski
Great place, cars are facing the opposite way that you're walking so they should fix that but overall fun place. Nothing made it stand out but fun for the kids.
Matt Bilodeau
What a great discovery! This was one of the most entertaining museums ever. There was something for everyone. Had a good time chatting with employees and spent several hours looking at everything. Thank you for saving so much of our history.
Renee Zeilbeck
prepare to spend 5 hours. we paid for the Gardens, but it was mostly for kids. it was kinda neat, however.

I had a 1968 Camaro waiting for me that I ordered with my dad's help while I was in Vietnam. It was the same color as one of the cars at Volo.

Everyone claims it takes two days to see everything. Absolutely NOT true. We took our time and read almost every informative placard for each attraction AND ate lunch in less than four hours. I suppose if you have kids and go on a weekend during summer months, you might not see everything, but really - it's a three hour attraction on a fall day for a couple of adults.
Oh - and I have to mention the restaurant. This WAS in the fall on a weekday, but there was pretty much no selection. A tray of nachos, a hotdog, or a slice of pizza. Go out for lunch. There are several fast food places nearby.

There's something for all ages! A car enthusiast dreams bc 90% is for sale. Plus quite a few movie replicas
They don't take American Express.

I'm a car guy - probably one of the best car "places" I have ever visited. I've been to a million car shows and none compare to what you get to see here. If youre a car guy this is the place to be. I would live there in one of the open restoration bays if they let me!! Go here - that's it - you will not be disappointed!!

In mid-December I purchased a 1976 Triumph TR6 from Volo Auto Museum and worked with Richard Kusz as my representative. Having never purchased a classic car much less sight unseen, I was appropriately skeptical and nervous about it. I received the car and have been truly happy with it - particularly when I compare what I purchased to the online presentation as well statements made by Richard over the phone and email. I believe Richard and Volo represented the car well and were forthright in identifying any known issues. There is a lot of angst when purchasing a car without seeing it so when it came as described it was a big relief. The car is not perfect as I would expect for a 1976 and I've discovered an issue or two that I'll need to address. But all things considered I am really pleased with the purchase and in dealing with Volo. Richard is very assuring and a pleasure to work with.

Volo Auto Museum is a wonderful walk thru automotive history! It's been a number of years since we last visited and things have changed alot! $20 admission!
The blue directional walkway path, takes you to the many bldgs of show cars, tractors, mobile homes (Fantastic!!) circus calihpies,ect. was extremely helpful!
For a day with or without the kids, it is worth the trip. Resturant on site was nice to have to rest and snack. See you there!

We thoroughly enjoyed, all that this museum had to offer! There is much to see, and not just vintage cars, but vintage objects, from the past! I highly recommend this, for a wonderful time!

My family and I went for the first time. We had a lot of fun seeing all the different cars. We even did the dinosaur area. My 4 year old loved it! It is worth the money!
The only problem we had was at the ticket line. The lady there was very rude. We told her that we had 1 child over 5 and 1 child under 5. She wanted to argue that we said something different when she put it in the computer wrong. I heard other people complaining about her as well.

Will be going this summer to visit this place. Looks awesome,saw conmercials,am excited to see all the cars and displays. Have heard good things on this location.

The cars were stunning, loved seeing my favorite movie cars. The museum was barely handicap accessible and not handicap friendly at all I am in a wheelchair and it was very difficult to get thru the doors and up and down the hills . It's such a shame that in 2021 you are not a good place for handicap people to go.

The Volo Auto museum is a must for everyone, even if you're not a car enthusiast. There's lots of Auto history here. So much to go through and learn about. At first I thought the admission fee was a bit too pricey for 2 adults and 1 older kid (adult rate) and 1 kid (kid rate) but at the end of the day, I can tell you it was all worth it. There are five buildings to go through on the site. So plan on spending at least 4 to 5 hours. We spent nearly 6 hours. We did the combo deal which includes indoor dinosaur exhibits with dinosaur animatronics. Highly recommend.

Always fun finding the vintage soda advertising out of the collectible items lol

Much, much better than expected. A little on the expensive side for a family of 5 on a Sunday afternoon but the kids loved it. Happy kids = Happy dad. Some great vehicles here. Not exactly sure how many are as "original" as the claims make? Some feel very reproduction - look a like to me. But fun time all the same.

5 stars isn't enough for this treat! Of all the many car shows and collections we've toured, this eclectic collection was absolutely amazing! More than just cars, and so many unique collectibles. They cover most every vehicle created for Hollywood shows. More than half the car collection is also for sale with price tags ... if you've got the money!

Visited on June 8, 2019. Wonderful place to visit. There truly is something for everyone here, even if you're not a "car person". You like spooky things? There's a section for you! You like antiques? A section for you! You like a bit of elegance? Also a section for you! You're into movies and cartoons? Well boy, do they have a section for you. Heck, there's even a section for you outdoorsy types. This place is wonderful, I can't wait to visit again.

If you are a car enthusiast, you should visit this museum. The entrance fee is a bit pricey, but overall it’s quite nice.
